Showerthought: A free soup demo landed me a new business partner

I stopped by a grocery store demo for homemade soups last week. The chef running it was talking about local farm supplies. We hit it off and swapped stories about small food businesses. I mentioned my plan for a seasonal recipe box service. He liked the idea and offered to help with sourcing fresh produce. Now we're testing a pilot together this fall. Do you often find networking happens in simple food spots like this?

Started chatting with a guy at a taco stand about his hot sauce recipe. Turns out he supplies peppers to a bunch of local restaurants. We still trade texts when he gets a new batch in.

How often do you get to try his new batches? That sounds like a really fun way to discover new flavors.

Free taste tests come with occasional heartburn.
