He is helpful, professional, and caring when it comes to my produce. I’m thankful he’s my route delivery driver.” We’re so proud to have Joey on our team, representing What Chefs Want with such professionalism and care! ?? #cheflife #employeerecognition

Big thanks to artist Rodolfo Cedeno for transforming our conference room walls into a stunning showcase of what we deliver to chefs! At What Chefs Want, we’re proud to provide the seven essential product lines—everything from staples to gourmet rarities and everything in between—giving chefs the flexibility and variety they need to keep their kitchens stocked and inspired.

Lettuce, romaine, broccoli, cauliflower, and red peppers are in high demand with limited supply leading to price spikes. Citrus, berries, and tomatoes also have mixed availability and quality. The transition to new growing regions is causing disruptions, and factors like weather and transportation are impacting the overall produce supply. The market is expected to remain volatile over the next week or two.

We’re a produce-first company, which means freshness is at the heart of everything we do. Fresh produce daily = top quality for you, always! ???? This commitment to fresh empowers us to prioritize freshness across ALL our product lines.

POV: You’re behind the wheel of one of our beloved red trucks! Cruising through town, you’re delivering freshness, making sure chefs never run out of the essentials. No minimum orders—just what you need, when you need it.

The iceberg lettuce market has spiked, causing ripple effects on other leafy greens. Strawberries are very tight due to weather, transition issues, and loading challenges, though blueberry imports are helping stabilize that market. Potato, onion, apple, and pear markets are relatively steady, but the tomato market is expected to see significant price increases due to crop losses in Georgia. Green peppers, hot peppers, and corn markets remain very tight. Read more on our full produce market report.

Fall fun at our Louisville employee event was a blast! We had an epic pumpkin carving contest, inflatables for the kids, and friendly cornhole competition for all ages! And of course, huge thanks to Ryan and BT from dispatch for grilling up some amazing burgers. Cheers to fall festivities with the best team around! ????
