Ranchers who have committed themselves to raising not just Angus beef, but the best Angus beef ever made. With no shortcuts and a virtual obsession with flavor and juiciness.

2015 Fall Culinary Expo at MetLife

As the kitchen doors swing open, the sounds of that night’s headlining band SXVKHV LWV ZD\ LQ EOHQGLQJ ZLWK WKH FDFRSKRQ\ RI JULOOV Ă€ULQJ appliances operating, and a variety of chefs interacting in a verbal shorthand of kitchen lingo. Despite the controlled chaos of the dinner rush in the busy New York City restaurant of B.B.

His mother worked two jobs and so as the elder brother, he was responsible for taking care of his younger sister after school. His cooking ventures at 9 and 10 began conservatively, but as he matured, he began to spend more and more time in the kitchen. “This is when I found the love for cooking.â€? Chef Patrick recalls one day when his sister brought some friends home. He was busy in the kitchen making what turned out to become a curried cabbage dish. “This is not something you would normally cook in Jamaica and my sister and her friends laughed and laughed. I said to them, ‘You laugh at me now; I’m going to be a great chef someday.’ I took that anger and turned it into something positive.â€? As much as they teased him, they devoured the cabbage dish.

Soon, his talents in the kitchen caught the attention of his VFKRRO ZKLFK Ă€UVW VHQW KLP WR D EDNHU\ IRU DQ LQWHUQVKLS +H recalls his frustrations: “I didn’t really learn anything. They only make bread and beef patties. I didn’t want to do just dinner rolls for the rest of my life.â€?

This is where Chef Patrick’s talents were honed and he soon began working on the line in the kitchens. His penchant for learning caught the resort’s attention and he was offered a job there after his schooling was completed. “I graduated on a Sunday, and started work on Monday,â€? he recalls. This was followed by his tenure at Jamaica Grand Hotel and Sandals, where a friend encouraged him to take the opportunity to test for a job with the Royal Caribbean Cruise Line. His aptitude was evident when he completed the 45-minute test in 20 minutes. Still, months passed and he did not hear back from the cruise line. “I totally forgot about it,â€? Chef Patrick said. One day at work at Sandals, he was paged to the front desk where two men in suits were waiting to fast-track KLP WR WKH 5R\DO &DULEEHDQ RIĂ€FHV LQ 0LDPL ´, QHYHU WUDYHOOHG and I told them I didn’t even have a passport.â€? Still, with the company’s help, he was in Miami by the end of that week. He was with Royal Caribbean for eight years, moving up the ranks from chef’s assistant to supervisor. Next on his career path, Chef Patrick started his own business, then he sailed ZLWK 'LVQH\ &UXLVH /LQHV RQ WKHLU Ă€UVW VKLS &KHI 3DWULFN UHFDOOV his fortune in being able to travel the world, meeting different people and exploring a diversity of cultures, all of which impacted his cooking repertoire.

However, the land beckoned once more, and by then, his family had relocated to New York and he wanted to be there as his young daughter grew up. “I wanted to work on land again‌ I wanted to work in a restaurant. I wanted to come home to my family.â€? He settled with his family in NYC and took a position as Executive Chef for Negril Restaurant. While there, his cooking style continued to evolve and he was garnering a reputation for complex desserts and American-Jamaican inspired dishes. While at Negril Restaurant, the world was devastated by the World Trade Center bombings and the restaurant, which was close to the towers, was forced to begin laying off employees. He began working for B.B. King Blues Club & Grill on 42nd Street, a music venue known for sumptuous pub fare and a stage that draws well-known rock and R&B artists. He shares his time between the blues club and sister restaurant, the Highline Ballroom, also known for its music and food talents. Chef Patrick has cooked for a variety of VIPs, including Magic Johnson, Air Supply, Stephen Baldwin, Mike Tyson, Keith Sweat, Washington DC Mayor Murial Bowser, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. Although these are a small list of celebrities he has cooked for, and is constantly building on this list, one familiar face is missing.

Harvest Time and Packing n the Northern hemisphere the typical time of the year to harvest and pack fresh tomatoes usually starts in July and continues through September. Usually when we think RI SDFNLQJ WRPDWRHV ZH WHQG WR ÀUVW WKLQN RI California or Italy, as their tomato products are the most common here in the US, although there are many locations throughout the world that grow and pack fresh tomatoes. Here on the East Coast there are many tomato growing farms and canneries as well as in the Midwest. There are also many other European countries that produce and pack tomatoes such as Spain and Turkey. In Asia, countries like China, India and Egypt are also big producers. In fact, China is the largest tomato producing country in the world. 17

Tomato packing facilities start production in July or as soon as the tomatoes start to ripen and during the peak of harvest, the larger packing plants normally run 24 hours a day/ 7 days a week. Depending on the weather conditions and location of the crop, some of these factories will sometimes continue their production into October. During the height of the production season, the sight outside of a packing facility is an extensive line of trailers that are loaded with fresh harvested tomatoes, waiting to be off loaded. These specially made trailers were loaded out on the WRPDWR ÀHOGV GLUHFW from a “Tomato Harvester”. This is a vehicular harvesting machine that drives through each row and extracts the entire tomato plant and effectively separates the fruit from the plant and then, by conveyer, loads the tomatoes into the trailers without damaging the fruit. This harvest process happens at a rapid pace; therefore the tomatoes reach the packing facility within an hour of processing. This is important as the tomatoes need to be processed soon after they are harvested. When the trucks arrive at the packing plant to be off loaded, the process of transferring the fruit into the factory is done in such a way to avoid damaging the fruit. The tomatoes are never dumped; rather water is pumped into the trailer at the top of the tomato load

and the fruit is forced by water pressure through a hatch on the lower part of the trailer transferring them from the trailer into a washing pool to commence production. The tomatoes are then washed and then transferred into the plant by a conveyer system. At this point they are steamed, peeled and then by belt, travel to many sorting lines for manual sorting. Some facilities have improved auto-technology to kick out any non-ripe or undesirable fruit before they get mixed into the sorting lines. The tomatoes are then processed for their intended variety (whole peeled, ground, etc.) and then packed in metal tins or glass for foodservice or retail. One important step that does take place prior to the tomato production is the lab work. Every hour on the hour, samples of fruit are pulled from each load of fresh tomatoes and are sent to an onsite lab for testing. A variety of quality assurance tests are then performed that include PH, acid and solids. The test result of each sample is then coded for traceability. If the fruit does not meet the requirements of the packer, then the load is rejected. Touring a tomato packing facility is a fascinating experience. The tour would XVXDOO\ VWDUW RQ WKH IDUP DQG WKHQ ÀQLVK at the facility. As with any plant tour, it breeds a new appreciation for the ÀQLVKHG SURGXFW

PROCUREMENT Procurement of Tomatoes started back in the 1960’s. My father Louis G. Piancone, the founder of Roma Food, decided to create a tomato brand that would have an identity that would be V\QRQ\PRXV ZLWK TXDOLW\ 2QH RI WKH ÀUVW Piancone Branded products that he released was Italian Whole Peeled Plum Tomatoes packed in Juice with Basil Leaf. This became very popular with our customers. As the company grew so did the demand for this item and many other tomato items. Through the 1970’s and 80’s, California tomato packers were making headway into foodservice, producing a variety of quality tomato products such as Pizza Sauce , All Purpose Ground Tomatoes, Whole Peeled tomatoes (Italian Style) and many

18

others. These items also became very popular with restaurants and pizzerias. Therefore the time was right to release similar Roma branded quality tomato products that would be produced and packed in California. These products became just as popular as the Italian Tomatoes and at present time the demand has consistently grown.

all agriculture, climate and soil are the contributing factors to the quality of a Ă€QDO SURGXFW ,WDO\¡V WRPDWRHV DUH XQLTXH although they have fewer solids than California’s. This limits Italy from achieving high quality standards in other tomato products such as Ground Tomatoes, Pizza Sauce and other Puree and Paste style products.

Since the inception of these products, the annual procurement of Italian and California Tomatoes has been an ongoing project to assure consistent quality; starting with the selection of the seed, WKH ÀHOG ORFDWLRQ DQG WKH FRQGLWLRQ RI the soil. Of course proper irrigation and a few prayers for cooperative weather conditions are thrown in as well. The fruit is harvested at its peak of ripeness and processed with accuracy. By the way, it helps to have a good relationship with the tomato packer. He understands your needs and will always pack a consistent product.

THE APPLICATIONS

CLIMATE SOIL Makes a Difference

The most common tomato variety for processing is the pear-shape or sometimes called plum.

This valley is part of the enormous Central Valley which produces the majority of more than 12% of the United States’ agricultural production. This Valley is known for its long and dry growing season. This climate allows the fruit to naturally create very high solids (sugars) and in turn gives opportunity to tomato producers to pack a variety of high quality products.

They can be used with other tomato/pasta applications but if you want more sweetness, then you may need to incorporate some high sugar veggies such as carrots and onions. If you’re making a sweeter sauce or a sauce used with meats then my suggestion is to use a California Tomato which has more solids and can endure longer cooking time. To achieve a simple and delicious pizza, simply hand crush Italian or California Whole Tomatoes and then add the right seasoning of fresh garlic, oregano, black pepper and fresh basil leaves.

“With over 55 years of tomato procurement, I would like to share some tomato information that could help with your menu preparations.â€? Because Italy and California are the most popular Tomato growing regions, I will explain by comparing the two. Tomatoes from Italy and California are unique in their own way: • Italian Tomatoes contain fewer solids than California, thus they contain less sugar which means less structure and minimal cook time (Important factoids: Tomatoes are made up of pulp, seeds, skin and solids. Solids are a natural component of the tomato that determines its structure and how it could be used. These Solids are made up of three components-Sugar, Acids and Salt, - sugar being the major component. • Italian Tomatoes contain more natural acidity than California Tomatoes which pairs well with certain foods. The higher acidity will, as with PRVW IRRGV OHDYH D ORQJHU Ă€QLVK RQ your palate. • Due to the rich soil and ideal climate in Italy, the PH of Italian Tomatoes is usually within a normal range, therefore there is minimal or no need for citric DFLG ZKLFK FDQ PDVN WKH QDWXUDO Ă DYRU of the tomato. However, the California soil is more alkaline, therefore acid levels in fruit can be lower than in Italy. When acid levels are below range, PH levels tend to run high. This could lead to potential spoilage; therefore some California producers won’t take that risk and add citric acid to their product. In addition, the California soil and climate will drive sugar levels higher in fruit than in Italy. Because they are sweeter, the California Tomato is considered by chefs to be very versatile for creating many dishes. • As you can see, Solids (sugar), Acid and PH are the most important points to know about this fruit. Both Italy and California do produce unique quality Tomatoes. Due to the fact that they have their own natural characteristics, their kitchen applications can be used accordingly.

History OF PIZZA SAUCE

THEN... Historically pizza shops have been the majority of Roma’s customers and which still holds true today. Looking back 30 to 40 years ago the pizzeria menu was typically made up of a variety of pizzas with an assortment of toppings to choose from, but the menu also included hot and cold sub sandwiches, calzones and some basic pasta dishes. Today the menu has expanded into an array of fast food items and some menus are more sophisticated than others. But pizzas have always been the center of the plate or let’s just say-- it’s the main item on the menu. The shop owner needs to make his/her preparations one day in advance. Making and SURRĂ€QJ GRXJK VKUHGGLQJ FKHHVH URDVWLQJ WKH sausage and meatballs, slicing the pepperoni and so on. The owner’s choice of products and style of preparation was always very special and personalized. The method of prepping in a pizzeria was very basic but each shop owner did something a little different from his/her competitor up the street. There could be two or three pizza shops within a two mile radius, the owners may have come from the same town in Italy, they could even be related but they all did something a little different to create their own identity. This specialized restaurant group was proud of the food they served. When it came to sauce preparation they were very particular. The pizza sauce, where PXFK RI WKH Ă DYRU RI SL]]D FRPHV IURP KDG WR KDYH D VSHFLĂ€F SURĂ€OH WKDW ZDV GHVLJQHG by the shop owner. Some used only canned Italian whole tomatoes or “all purposeâ€? ground tomatoes or mixed them with their own personal seasoning.

Therefore with any new IRRG VHJPHQW WKDW LV Ă RXULVKLQJ WKHUH ZHUH many product manufacturers and distributors that became available to service this growing industry.

NOW... The one item that California tomato packers designed was the Extra Heavy Pizza Sauce. This is produced very similar to a highly concentrated heavy puree or almost like a light paste with some light seasoning (salt and dried basil). The pizza sauce was made up of the solids of the tomatoes to achieve a heavy consistency. The natural tomato “solids” are made up of mainly sugar along with natural salts and acid. California grown tomatoes achieve higher solids than tomatoes grown in other parts of the world due to the California climate and soil (Terrior). These high solids allow the tomato packer to create a pizza sauce that is highly FRQFHQWUDWHG DORQJ ZLWK VZHHW ÁDYRU 7KH UHDVRQ for all this tomato logic is to allow the end-user (the Pizza Man) to add water to this heavy prepared sauce.

IN THE DRIVER’S SEAT Performance ce F Foodservice-Metro oodservice-Metro N NY YH Honors onors Drivers with 5-10-15 year Accident-free Record It was only 10 years ago that Hamid Sarmadi introduced a driver safety rewards program to recognize Performance Foodservice-Metro NY drivers who maintained an accident-free driving record for each year. In 2005, 18 drivers out of about 50 had no accidents at all. Today, 85 drivers out of 135 can say the same. he story these numbers tell is that we have improved our safety record from 36 percent of our drivers having a perfect driving record in 2005 to 63 percent in 2015,” says Hamid Sarmadi, Safety Claims Manager at Performance Foodservice-Metro NY. “We are very proud of our drivers’ accomplishments and are excited to honor 15 of them this year for having a 5-10-15 year accident-free record.” Washington Avellaneda, Director of Transportation and Hamid Sarmadi, Safety Claims Manager

Michael Acevedo, Lloyd Adams, Hugo Almada, Mario Biondi, Fausto Brito, Patrick Cordial, Anthony Delchop, Kirk Faines, Alfonso Farmer, William Biondi, Otis Jennings, Jacek Szeszol, Allen Rice, Wesley Martins, Jeffrey Young have been awarded a special plaque and jacket, along with a cash reward at a special ceremony with Chuck Cuomo, CEO Region President; Michael Irwin, Metro NY President; Joe Monteleone, VP of Operations; Washington Avellaneda, Director of Transportation and Hamid Sarmadi. The Accident-Free Recognition Program is only one of many elements that constitute the driver safety program at Performance Foodservice-Metro NY.

In addition to participating in quarterly driver safety meetings, drivers are required to complete a Pure Safety Program on a monthly basis. This online educational program covers various safety-related topics and requires that all drivers complete the interactive course modules. This past year we installed cameras in all of our entire vehicles. A program called Drive Cam monitors day all events that occur in a vehicle 24 hours a day. Each event is recorded and reviewed by a trained specialist to analyze and advise if an unsafe act has occurred. This event is then sent to transportation to review and coach the driver on improving his driving behavior, thus creating a safer delivery driver.

Some of the topics covered include defensive driving techniques for large vehicles, extreme driving conditions, safe backing and turning, Department of Transportation compliance, and much more. Drivers are also encouraged to share their own experiences with their peers to discuss valuable lessons learned from real-life situations. “Another critical component of our safety program is our new Hire Safety Orientation Program,” says Hamid who is responsible for developing and implementing environmental and occupational health and safety programs for the company. “Our number one concern is the safety of our associates and the communities where we work.”

Marbling is the key to flavor “Great taste is the primary reason consumers make beef their food of choice for a pleasurable dining experience. When marbling scores of Modest or greater are attained, the incidence of undesirable flavor ratings is greatly diminished.” Dr. Daryl Tatum, Colorado State University meat scientist

85% of the USDA Choice grade has only Small amounts of marbling.* The Certified Angus Beef ® brand requires Modest or higher marbling, ensuring premium flavor. The brand’s standards are so strict, less than 8% of all beef makes the grade. * After modest or moderate branded beef programs have been sorted Photos courtesy of the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, ©NCBA

Flavor is the key to success “If beef tastes great, people are not only more likely to buy it, but also more willing to pay more for it. Delivering a desirable eating experience time after time is fundamentally important to sustained growth.” — Tatum

In the face of your competition, quality is everything.

When we set out to create the world’s first premium brand of beef, we started by choosing Angus cattle, known for producing beef of superior taste and tenderness. But that alone wasn’t going to satisfy us. So we put into place 10 exacting standards that every cut of the Certified Angus Beef ® brand has to meet. The result is an Angus beef of unrivaled flavor, juiciness and tenderness.

Certified Angus Beef ® brand. From our family ranchers to your family table.
