On this week's episode, Don speaks with The Fruit Queen herself, Judy Annunziata. Born and raised in the hospitality industry, Judy is sharing her mom-and-pop mentality from her family-owned restaurant to the franchise world of Edible Arrangements! Judy talks about growing up with her family running Umberto's in Poughkeepsie to how she tried different career paths outside of food service and hospitality. Regardless of what she tried, there was nothing like the instant gratification of dropping off food to someone, and the face-to-face engagement and warmth that food can offer. That desire led her to franchising Edible Arrangement shops throughout the Hudson Valley.
