    We have a GFS (Gordon's Food Service) store here in Southeast Michigan. I love it for spices.

    I love your "squirrel" moments...OOo, here's this, here's that! That's how hubby shops and I drive him batty because I'm on a mission with a list in my hands. We have a few stores like that in our cities in Alberta. We're rural so we hardly ever get there but this is great for those items that we don't grow, mushrooms being one of them.

    We have been following you and Linda’s Pantry and your journey using only meat that you have on hand. I am amazed at your strength, haha! Great video. The Chef Stores really are great for bulk buying. JJ just discovered ours online yesterday. I’m yesterday, haha! Excellent video. You have amped up my creative kitchen ideas! Toodles! Have a great day!

    Your chef store is bigger and cleaner than the one near me. I’m a little jealous

    I wish we had a chef’s Store! We have Costco and Sam’s but it’s an hour away 😕
    I so wish I had one of these!!!

    Aweome chef store. Wish we had one like that here. Coscos is too far for us to go. Thanks for the tour.

    All i had to do to find local restaurant stores was ask Mr Google 😊.

    I'm sitting here scrolling videos getting ready to head to the Chef Store because they have a sale on 50lb bag of rice for $23! I also love the Chef store, because there are things I can only get there that they don't have at Costco

  • @wendyneal4900
    @wendyneal4900 Před rokem

    Well that was fun! We have a restaurant supply store, but I’ve never been. I should check it out. I just assumed they just stocked cookware, etc. 🤷‍♀️

    Your Chef Store is larger than the one in Warrenton. Wish ours was bigger. Thanks for the tour.

    I haven’t dealt in that quantity since I retired as a chef. But a lot of the things I seen brought back memories.

  • @donnazack
    @donnazack Před rokem

    We have something like this in Michigan called Gordon's Food service. Not quite as big though. About 45 minutes from where I live is the closest. I love that store.

    One is being built close by and we had no idea what it was all about. Thanks for the video!

    Wow great store, such good deals. Where I am we can get Picking Vinegar, in a jug,
    I have to find a place to get dried beans for a good price, I'd like to get some black beans, I did find a 2lb. Bag of navy beans, $7.99. Terrible price.

    Thank you for this video! I'm just glad that my head chef isn't Gordon Ramsey... he will not look too kindly if he sees store-bought premade ravioli... (even if they come from a "Chef's Store") 😢😢😭😭😰😰

  • @christinafoster1922
    @christinafoster1922 Před rokem

    I still call it Cash and Carry because I never remember the new name. Love it though! The last few times I got 40 lbs of chicken for canning, I got it there. I also buy most of my spices there.

  • @jessicasteele9757
    @jessicasteele9757 Před 11 měsíci

    Thank you for posting this! I'm interviewing with them for a remote role, and there isn't one close to me. It was so helpful for me to get a tour. :)

  • @lylymongeon
    @lylymongeon Před rokem

    Not even the weekend and I got some food porn fed straight up in my queue. I would be so overstocked and over scheduled on projects if that was near me. Envious anyway, but happy you have access to it (and have self-control I lack…). I will live vicariously through your videos. Tfs!

  • @kimeverhart6253

    Hi Linda😊
    Can anyone from the public visit this store or do you have to have a business license? I don’t know if we have anything like this near me ( I live about an hour outside of Indianapolis, Indiana) but, it would be wonderful to shop this way, at least once in a while!! The produce looked so amazing!! You got the most beautiful mushrooms I think I’ve ever seen!! And, I would certainly buy tomatoes in a case like that if the cost wasn’t prohibitive. Wow!!
    I just loved this video!! We have a lot of the same interests! 😎🤩 ( I’m 64 now, empty nester, grandma of 10, retired from nursing for 40 years, love to sew and garden, have been getting into food preservation for a few years now, and pantry building…🥰)
    Ps…I am a true carnivore! When you pull your meat for the week on Sundays, I think “ what?? That’s not enough meat!!” Hopefully, you are digging into more meat through the week somewhere!! 😂

    • @2leelouCreates
      @2leelouCreates  Před rokem +1

      Anyone can shop on this store. I just love going there! Generally, I can get two meals from one piece of meat, and I'll take out less of we plan to have dinner out one night as well.

    I was just at our Chef's Store yesterday...they have espresso supplies on sale so I did a little stocking up for the pantry. Plus fruit flavored coffee syrups to make snow cones for the grandkids. Their shoestring carrots are great to blanch and dehydrate. For an experiment I've also dehydrated their canned mushrooms. The results were too 'meh' to do again. My inner child always begs for a box of the individual restaurant packs of jams and jellies but I tell her no. Almost bought their house brand of lemon juice at a great price but it didn't list the percentage of acid. And now I have to go back because I didn't notice frozen peaches, hubby is really enjoying peach protein smoothies and none of the local grocers have frozen peaches right now. Thank you for the tour of your store. Ours is physically twice as big but not as well stocked.

    • @2leelouCreates
      @2leelouCreates  Před rokem +1

      Lemon juice doesn't generally list the acidity percentage. That's because when it's made, the actual juice is tested and then diluted to a consistent acidity, which is actually more acidic than vinegar. That is especially why when using lemon juice as the acidifyer in a canning recipe you always use bottled juice and not fresh squeezed.

  • @donnawilkinson5536
    @donnawilkinson5536 Před rokem +1

    I didn’t catch the price on the mushrooms. Do you remember?
    Our Costco, and Chefs Store are within a block of each other. Lol, keeps me broke.
    I have 80 lbs of that chicken, too!
    We usually freeze dry or dehydrate Franks Red Hot sauce.
    Great video!

    @kaesmomFitz Před rokem

    I had no idea there were stores like this where the general public could shop. My brother owned a catering business for many years and all of his food came from Sysco - I just assumed that was the primary source for most restaurants!!

    • @jessicasteele9757
      @jessicasteele9757 Před 11 měsíci +1

      They do own US Foods, which is a food supplier like Sysco.

  • @reneesouther6076

    I just found out we had one in Charlotte. Do you need a membership or tax number?

    • @2leelouCreates
      @2leelouCreates  Před 6 měsíci +1

      You don't need that at the one in our town. Give yours a call and see if they do. I hope not because it's the best!

  • @AshleyB4747
    @AshleyB4747 Před 5 měsíci

    1 question, .. Do you need to have a MEMBERSHIP to shop there??

    • @2leelouCreates
      @2leelouCreates  Před 5 měsíci

      No, you don't. Most towns have a store like this. It might be called something different, though. You could ask one of the restaurants near you, not the corporate ones, because their supplies are ordered and delivered through their corporate office, but a small business kind of place. They have to buy their supplies almost daily and this is the kind of place they'll use.
