Online Ordering Turns 2!

Peddler's Son Produce started online ordering for customers 2 years ago. The Gallery Golf Restaurant was the first customer to place their order online. So, I thought I'd talk with Chef Brian and find out more about the Gallery. Here is what he had to say.

Where are you from Chef Brian?

I was raised in New York, but I moved here 20 years ago.


How did you become interested in cooking?

I started as a dishwasher for Conti's Restaurant, here in Tucson, and worked my way up. It was run by a small, crazy Italian family, but they taught me what a good work ethic means.


How did you come to The Gallery?

The Gallery specialized in high-end French cuisine at the time and I was eager to learn more about it. I took a cut in salary and title to come here and find out more about this style of cooking. It didn't last long however, as six months later the members asked to change the menu to more of a meat and potato selection.

What are you most proud of at The Gallery?

The thing that I am most proud of here at The Gallery is the level of teamwork that exists here at the property. There is no line between the front of the house and back of the house. Everyone contributes and is respectful of each other and their work. Personally, I enjoy the fact that I learn from my staff as I teach them what is expected day in and day out.

While we work with the specific tastes the members enjoy, they also let us 'push the envelope' to try some new things and provide new experiences. That makes The Gallery a fun place and allows everyone to take pride in what they do.

Why Peddler's Son Produce?

We were splitting our orders with another company and wanted to see how Peddler's Son would perform. They consistently had better product and worked hard at creating a relationship with us. For example, during the Accenture Match Play tournament, they worked with us to deliver our order at 5am instead of 6 because they'd never be able to make it through the property once the day started. That meant a lot to us, that they were pro-active in making sure we were taken care of.

Why online ordering?

Well, we're in the 2000s and I don't want to be left in the dust! Online ordering is quick, easy and convenient. I can check prices and even do my order while I'm on the phone placing my order with the broadliner!

Chef Brian, thank you so much for your support! We appreciate you taking the time to talk with us and most of all, taking the first step to be our inaugural online customer!
