What a wonderful time we had Come Tour Sanson Produce - the hospitality was superb and the facilities extremely clean. We had a lovely spread of food and sat in the same room where 100 years ago produce was auctioned after being brought in via railroad. Produce thank you for this wonderful event

For our month of May we want you to get another of our chefs: My name is Chef Brandon Woodall Sr. I was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio on 72nd and St. Clair. Growing up in that neighborhood really had a positive impact on my life. I lived right next door to my Aunt Val who taught me how to cook. Her soul food could move mountains. In 2017 I established Valerie's Kitchen and Catering LLC. That did not go as planned.
In 2020 I attended LCCC and three years later I graduated with my associates in hospitality management. In July of 2025 I was hired to be Old Brook High Schools Culinary Program Chef. Fast forward to 2026, Valerie's Kitchen and Catering LLC is thriving. We now serve members of the Cleveland Browns and also have many local clients in the area.
I am currently studying to achieve my CEC from the ACF Cleveland/Akron Chapter. This is a pivotal moment in my life as I have always dreamed of becoming a Certified Executive Chef. I am really humbled and honored to be highlighted by the ACF. I truly look forward to working more with the Chapter!.
