 On this episode we are grateful to have Douglas Raggio. Douglas’ journey to becoming a purveyor of fine fresh honeycomb weaves together his entrepreneurial spirit, culinary expertise, and passion for sustainable food systems. After a decade in the fast-paced restaurant industry, where he managed award-winning establishments in New York and Chicago, Douglas found himself increasingly drawn to the origin stories behind exceptional ingredients. His pivot into the world of artisanal honey began during a chance encounter with a third-generation beekeeper in the Hudson Valley. #eatbetterfoodtoday #longevity #health #localfarmers #artisanalhoney #honeycomb #regenerative Please visit our website https://eatbetterfoodtoday.com for this week's recipe, interviews, books, research, videos.
