Tune in to the Working Without Waste Podcast Episode #19 with guest @ChrisMcCarthy. Chris founded @EarthPaint in 2013 to solve three big problems. The first was a resource problem. There wasn’t a readily available option for reusing the thousands of containers of perfectly good latex paint left over from construction and remodeling projects. The second problem was environmental. Most unused latex paint ended up in landfills. And the third problem was a lack of employment opportunities for people living with disabilities. Earth Paint designed an elegant, comprehensive solution that solves all three of these problems in an amazing way. From their location in Wood Dale, IL Earth Paint upcycles latex paint, improves our community’s environment, and provides meaningful & important vocational work.
Proust had his madeleines; I have loaf meat. I made a whopping big pile of meat loaf, or loaf meat as my Polish grandmother would say, last weekend. It was exquisite. It had just the right balance of flavors and got better with age. It made me remember weekends when I was little. Every Sunday after church, Dad and I would tune the radio station to the Eddie Blazonczyk polka show, hearing such classics as the “Too Fat Polka.” (I-don’t-want-her, you-can-have-her, she’s-too-fat-for-me.) Then we would pick up my mom and our dog, Milton, and we’d pile into the brown station wagon to head to grandma’s house in Wood Dale for Sunday dinner. I can still remember the loaded dining room table: Kapusta (sauerkraut made with onions, carrots and tomato juice), pierogis, loaf meat, peas and carrots and a jello salad. Sometimes she’d swap out roasted chicken for the loaf meat. Followed by Maurice Lenell’s pinwheel cookies and Sanka, or room temperature 7UP for me. Dad would watch 60 Minutes (or the

Dave Raymond and Duce Raymond - Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ & Catering - @sbrbbq @sbrcatering @duceswildbbq - Chicago, IL *This podcast was recorded at the River Ranch Stockyards during the National Barbecue & Grilling Association’s #IAMBBQ2018 National Trade Show and Conference in Fort Worth, Texas. Summary: Dave Raymond the Founder of Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ Sauce, and Duce Raymond (his nephew) of Sweet Baby Ray’s Catering own two BBQ restaurants, a catering & events company, and compete in BBQ competition under the Duce's Wild brand. Dave and Duce share their generational journey of growing their business and starting new endeavors. They started by giving their sauces away as holiday gifts to family members and getting their feedback about the sauces. The sauces kept growing in popularity and the Raymonds kept up their grind to get their sauce in as many places as possible. Capitalizing on their success at Mike Royko’s Ribfest in 1982 Dave and Mike Obrien build Sweet Baby Ray’s into what today is the best-selling barbecue sauce in the country. Sweet Baby Ray's Barbecue Sauces currently combine to take up 46% of the market share, as the sauces continue to expand internationally. Now a multi-faceted business operation, Sweet Baby Ray’s boasts two restaurants, a full-service Elk Grove Village location and a barbecue restaurant in Wood Dale run with nephew, Duce, as well as two premier catering companies. Dave currently resides in Wood Dale, close to relatives and life-long friends, and spends much of his spare time with the barbecue community, still lovin’ the ‘que crew as much as ever. Duce was destined for the food industry. Son of Chef Larry Raymond and nephew of Dave Raymond, the creators of Sweet Baby Ray’s Barbecue Sauce, Chef Duce grew up in and around restaurants and began working in the food and service industry at the age of 14. Realizing his passion, Duce later attended Kendall College Culinary School where he graduated with a degree in Culinary Arts, and was a member of Kendall College’s first graduating class to have completed a bachelor’s degree program in culinary study. Duce is now focused on his SBR Events Group Catering company and growing his line of sauces: Duce's Wild. His specialties include Southern and Central American cuisine and, of course, barbecue--which he has perfected at such recognized events and venues as the Taste of Chicago, the Naperville Ribfest, the Nugget Rib Cook-off, and the Wrigley Field rooftops. Duce has been a guest speaker at the world renowned Catersource Convention in Las Vegas as well as numerous times at the #IAMBBQ Trade Show and Conference for NBBQA. HOW DID THEY DO IT?
