Episode Two - The One Where We Talk About Zoodles, Boodles & Strudels

Welcome back to Two Peas in a Podcast, where this week our produce pros Adam Skeate and Samantha White dive headfirst into the wild, colorful, cozy world of fall and winter produce. From hearty root vegetables to vibrant citrus, this episode is packed with flavor, fun, and plenty of chef-friendly inspiration.

Join Sam and Adam as they break down what’s fresh, what’s seasonal, and what’s downright magical this time of year. You’ll hear everything from debates on kissable apples vs. fire-roasted shishitos, to insider stories from the fall apple harvest, to how imported fruit keeps our kitchens lively all winter long. They’ll share tips on adding color to plates, infusing sauces with produce flair, mixing up bright citrus cocktails, and leveraging fresh ingredients as menu strategy and table talk.

Then things get really fun: veggie noodles. Yes—Zoodles, Boodles, Coodles, and even Buttnoodles take center stage as our buyers explore creative ways operators can incorporate veg-forward twists into menus that pop with color and texture. And of course… the great Pop-Tart vs. Toaster Strudel showdown you didn’t know you needed.

Whether you’re a chef, a sales rep, or a produce lover who just likes a good laugh, this episode brings energy, education, and plenty of fresh ideas for winter. Tune in—and catch Sam & Adam at the GSM, where they’ll be showcasing many of the items discussed (just not the strudels… sorry).
