A Source for Cheap, Bulk Towels

What I love about the internet is that you can find a specialty site for just about anything you want to learn about and/or buy. A great example of this is the website for the Towels and Scrubs Depot. When you think about it, there are a lot of businesses that need to buy towels and/or scrubs--regularly and sometimes in large quantities.

Some examples of businesses served by this site include restaurants needing towels and kitchen linens, including potholders, chef uniforms, and more. Hotels and motels have a lot of need for towels, sheets, robes, and other products. Barber shops, spas, janitorial services, and car washes are other businesses that need a lot of towels and related products such as salon towels, microfiber towels, spa towels, and so on.

The site also offers a variety of medical scrubs which of course are very useful for hospitals, clinics, schools, and more. There are a lot of different types of scrub sets available, and when you order from a site like this, you can order a larger quantity and get a great price.

Towels and Scrubs Depot has a minimum purchase of $50 for all orders, but you won't have a hard time finding $50 worth of deals to purchase for your needs when it comes to towels, scrubs, and related supplies. The next time you're searching for wholesale towels, medical scrubs uniforms, cheap towels, bulk towels, or other related items, check out Towels and Scrubs depot.

An Informative Blog on Vacuum Packing Your Food

The VacUPack Blog is one of those blogs where you didn't realize what you were missing until you happened to click on it. Located at www.vacupackblog.com, the blog discusses both home and commercial applications for vacuum packing food. But the topics on the blog extend beyond vacuum packing and include cooking tips, recipes, and information on food safety.

The blog is authored by Marinus Hoogendoorn, a professional chef with many years of experience in the culinary and hospitality industries. Personally I found the blog interesting because it gives a behind the scenes view of food safety requirements in restaurants and other commercial/industrial/agricultural settings. And Chef Marinus also has great tips for delicious food preparation--for example, I learned the difference between white and green asparagus and how each are grown and prepared.

If you're thinking about buying a vacuum sealer for your home or commercial kitchen, the blog is very useful in learning how the products work. If you already own a vacuum sealer, the blog will give you some helpful ideas about how to use the product to maximize your investment--and maximize the flavor of your food.

A lot of us start thinking about food preservation during the summer months, but what do we really know about it? Marinus gives us a solid starting point for learning about this topic and emphasizes the importance of food safety. I think anyone with an interest in cooking will find something interesting while perusing this blog.

Meet Giorgio Taverniti of Frank's Pizza House

Frank's Pizza House is a local favorite in Toronto, Ontario. The two chefs at this family-run restaurant are a dynamic duo of mother and son. Maria and Giorgio Taverniti are the minds behind the classic Italian dishes they offer to their clients. The restaurant atmosphere is warm and filled with friendly faces--as well as delicious aromas of freshly made dough, sizzling pizza, and savory espresso.

Giorgio Taverniti attended the Italian culinary progam at George Brown College. The culinary program combined with his mother's vast knowledge paved the way for him to follow his passion for the culinary arts. He now teaches Pizza 101 at George Brown College part-time.

1. Why did you and your family decide to open a pizzeria in Toronto?

Choosing Toronto to open our pizzeria was a clear choice because Toronto is where we call home. Plus, Toronto is a mega city with a large culture and ethnic population, three major league sports franchise teams, and locals who have a knowledge of food. Toronto was an easy choice!

2. Could you tell us about your family's background and experience with cooking Italian foods?

My mother being of Portugese background learned her culinary skills in Italian cuisine from my grandmother from Calabria. Myself, I attended George Brown College here in Toronto where I completed the Italian Culinary program. After myself and my mother worked in different restaurants thoughout Toronto, we decided to open our own Italian pizzeria restaurant here in Toronto.

3. What makes Frank's Pizza House a unique restaurant to visit in Toronto?

What makes us different is being hands-on at all times in this family pizzeria.

4. What keeps customers coming back to your restaurant?

I think what keeps our customers coming back is us being part of the community and being visible at all times, showing them that we care about what we put out of our kitchen. Our simple, fresh dishes give dining at Frank's Pizza House a feel of the cultural influence of being in Italy.

5. If you had to choose your favorite three items on your menu, what would they be, and why?

Three favorite items would start with Frank's Salad, which has our special balasmic vinegar reduction to die for. Second would be our pizzas--that's what we're known for, and my favorite is the Toronto Pizza, a classic. Then I would choose our pillow Gnocchi, house-made in a simple tomato sauce that melts in your mouth.

Thanks, Giorgio!
