The AgNet News Hour recently featured a fascinating conversation with Fresno entrepreneur Eddie Papulias, the man behind Pappy's Choice Seasoning and Pappy's Fine Foods. In an interview with host Nick Papagni, “the Ag Meter”, Papulias shared the remarkable story of how a family legacy rooted in agriculture and meat processing evolved into a nationally recognized seasoning brand. What began as a small family effort in the Central Valley has grown into a business whose products now appear in grocery stores across California and much of the United States. Yet the story behind Pappy's success is about far more than spices and sauces—it's about perseverance, family, and navigating the increasingly complex world of food production and small business in California. A Family Legacy That Started More Than a Century Ago Papulias' story begins long before the seasoning business existed. His grandfather immigrated from Greece in 1896 and eventually settled in Fresno, where he raised sheep, lamb, and cattle in the foothills near Friant. Decades later, Papulias' father—known affectionately as “Pappy”—launched Pappy Meat Company in 1958, building a reputation for high-quality aged beef supplied to markets from San Francisco to Los Angeles. After his father passed away while Papulias was still in high school, the future of the family business became uncertain. But in the mid-1980s, Papulias decided to take a leap of faith and build something new from a seasoning recipe his father had created for meat customers. With just $30,000 in startup capital, Pappy's Fine Foods was born. Four Years of Hard Work Before Profit The early years were anything but easy. Papulias worked tirelessly while attending college, often packaging seasoning bottles late into the night with help from friends and family. Even with the support of longtime family friends who offered free rent for a year, the company took four years before turning a profit. But Papulias stayed focused on one goal: rebuilding his father's legacy. For 25 straight years, he says he never took a vacation while building the brand. Today, more than four decades later, Pappy's products are sold across the country—and Papulias still wakes up at 4:30 a.m. every day to go to work. From Seasonings to Sauces and Meat Partnerships Over time, the company expanded beyond seasoning blends to include a variety of sauces and marinades. Some of the most popular products include: Sweet and Tangy Barbecue Sauce Patty's Sweet and Spicy Buffalo Sauce Peppercorn sauce used in marinated tri-tip products A range of seasoning blends used for grilling and home cooking Papulias also partnered with Harris Ranch Beef Company, helping develop marinated meats, pot roast, stuffed bell peppers, and other prepared products sold through retail channels. One product—peppercorn tri-tip—became especially popular during a Southern California grocery strike, when Harris Ranch reportedly sold $87 million worth of the product through Smart & Final stores. Rising Costs and Challenges for Small Businesses While the brand has grown significantly, Papulias says operating a food business in California has become increasingly difficult. He pointed to several challenges affecting producers today: Rising ingredient costs, including black pepper prices increasing dramatically Packaging costs tied to oil prices Rising freight and transportation expenses Expanding regulatory requirements for food production Increased competition from private equity-owned companies Papulias also expressed concern about the regulatory burden placed on small manufacturers. In some cases, he says, companies are leaving California altogether to operate in states with fewer regulatory hurdles. Despite the challenges, Papulias remains deeply committed to the Central Valley and the agricultural community that helped build his business. A Passion for Food, Agriculture, and Family Throughout the interview, Papulias emphasized the importance of agriculture to California's economy. The San Joaquin Valley, he noted, remains one of the most productive farming regions in the world. He also highlighted the importance of maintaining strong food safety standards. Pappy's products are produced under rigorous global safety guidelines, including BRC (British Retail Consortium) certification, which involves extensive inspections and audits. For Papulias, maintaining those standards is critical—not just for the business, but for consumers who trust the brand. Listen to the Full AgNet News Hour Interview The conversation with Eddie Papulias is packed with stories, lessons, and insights for anyone interested in: Agriculture and food production Entrepreneurship and family businesses The challenges of operating in California's business environment The history behind one of the Central Valley's most recognizable food brands Papagni will continue the conversation in the next episode, where Papulias shares recipes, cooking tips, and advice for entrepreneurs considering launching their own food businesses.

Hanamaruki Foods Inc. said Wednesday that it will sell a liquid version of "shio-koji" seasoning to consumers in the United States, starting around this summer.

Leora Lanz is an associate professor at Boston University's School of Hospitality Administration and a former global marketing leader who helped grow HVS from seven offices to forty worldwide. After decades in destination marketing, hotel operations, and consultancy, she turned her classroom casework into two books on developing a marketing mindset. Susan and Leora talk about critical thinking, conscious marketing, and career courage.   What You'll Learn: • Why you need to "know enough to be dangerous" in digital marketing • What crisis communication in hotels teaches about compassion • Why today's marketing funnel feels more like a pinball machine • Why hospitality and marketing are fundamentally the same • How to shift from "you should" to "we will" with owners • When the ROI of a hospitality degree really kicks in • How set-jetting and streaming shows shape travel trends • Why wellness, sustainability, and community are marketing power plays • Why career reinvention requires courage and community *** Our Top Three Takeaways Marketing Is a Mindset, Not a Tactic Marketing isn't about flashy campaigns or one-hit wonders. It's about critical thinking, strategic planning, and starting with clear goals and KPIs. Everyone in hospitality (not just the marketing team) needs to think this way to build real, lasting impact. Shift from "You" to "We" Great marketing happens when teams act as true partners, not outside advisors. Saying "we" instead of "you" creates a sense of shared ownership and stronger alignment with stakeholders. That mindset builds trust, buy-in, and better results. Hospitality Is a Competitive Advantage Hospitality is more than an industry; it's a philosophy that can differentiate any business. Purpose-driven marketing rooted in wellness, sustainability, and community creates deeper, more meaningful connections. The future depends on honoring both emerging talent and seasoned voices while keeping that purpose front and center.
