Eric Skae CEO of Carbone Fine Food told us how he went from Rao's Specialty Foods, Inc. to Carbone... and then straight into Costco Wholesale. Not a typo. #Costco.
Imagine building a cult restaurant brand. Then seeing your sauce on a warehouse shelf next to 48packs of toilet paper. Most chefs would call that selling out. Eric calls it scaling up.
Costco was the test. Could a luxury restaurant brand survive the fluorescent lights and bulkbuy crowd? Turns out, yes. Carbone sauce flew off the shelves. #Hospitality #Carbone #Raos
