Dames were treated to a behind-the-scenes tour of Village Green Foods (Dame Jenny Rosoff), a food production company servicing top restaurant groups here in southern California, and beyond.

Dame Jenny led us through the process from beginning to end -- vegetables being chopped and diced, soups and dressings being created, how they're cooled, packaged, and then, go through a strict quality control process, before it's boxed and shipped to vendors.

Absolutely fascinating!
