Today on the podcast we have Rick Criden, the purchasing manager and salesman for Schneider’s Premium Seafood and a former chef with over 15 years of experience in kitchens all over Western New York. We talked about his history in WNY’s restaurant scene, where he worked in the kitchens of influential restaurants like Danny Oceans, Just Pasta, Saki and more. We talked about the life of a chef, working in the hotel business, realizing he was ‘burned out’ of the restaurant industry and working in the food sales business.
