So you're selling more aprons to consumers now than to the trade?.Yes, 80% of our business is now direct to consumer.

It's a really challenging pivot because it means you're basically standing up a media company within your own organization.Now we're creating content, newsletters, website, and retention marketing.We're working on ads.

It feels like we have two companies within the same organization because you have two totally different customers.It's something that I feel very strongly about never losing because it's the chefs who built our whole world.

They're our community.

Chefs do not mess around with fricking quality.Arrange cleaned mushrooms on a baking sheet lined with paper towels, and season with 1 teaspoon salt and pepper.

Refrigerate mushrooms, uncovered, at least 6 hours or up to 2 days.. Heat one chimney of charcoal until flames subside and coals are lightly covered in ash.Place applewood log along edge of coals.

Place cooking grate over coals; open bottom and top vents of grill.Close grill lid, and heat to medium-high (400°F to 450°F).. Blot any moisture from surface of mushrooms, and transfer to a large bowl.
