Back in 2000, when I started in foodservice sales, I called on John at the U of C. Every time I went in, Chef John bought something, made me feel like I was getting the hang of the sales thing, and more importantly, I came away energized.
I believe John bought for that reason, he invested in his own way in my path forward.
After that, at the chef meetings, I always wanted to catch up and see how he was doing and we always shared a smile and a chuckle.
RIP Chef and thank you,
John R
