Thanks for the recommendation.
Dave Arnold had Benjamin Lorr a few weeks ago on his Cooking Issues podcast: The Secret Life of Groceries with Benjamin Lorr
Thanks for the link. I forced a listen - the man banter was grating - but what I got was a sense that it was not so much "Kitchen Confidential" do not eat fish on Monday - as backstory labor issues. I'll probably read it.
ETA: it brought to mind @chardgirl's husband's piece in a book about agricuture in which he described in amusng and terrifying detail the difficulty of getting broccoli to market. Police, mobsters and toll booth characters were involved. Don't remember name of book. I also once had a client in the L.A. wholesale produce market . The stories!
