I had the pleasure some weeks back of dining in New York City with Xavier Dupuy, president of La Cornue, my colleague and friend, Leslie Clagett from the blog KBCulture and a couple of PR people, always useful to fill in the blanks for a brand. I very much enjoyed this type of intimate setting.
I love up close and personal meetings with manufacturers. It helps me “get” the culture of the company which always trickles down to my understanding the quality of the product and the type of people who actually manufacture the product.
Mr. Dupuy spent a fair amount of time talking about his factory workers – the length of time many of his employees have worked for La Cornue along with past generations of these employees’ families who also worked at the factory. Lots of interesting stories. In times like these, it’s nice to hear that. Mr. Dupuy takes immense pride in those who manufacture his products. This was not a short conversation!

The stainless steel blades whizz around inside, slice and dicing the garlic. Clear acrylic body with stainless-steel chopping blades Fun for kids (the driving part!

And here is the last, and I hope you’ll agree, the best post of the series on my trip to Kohler’s headquarters at Kohler, Wisconsin. The trip was a visual feast! It was also an actual feast throughout the weekend since my trip was centered around the Kohler Food and Wine Experience – a weekend event (among many all year ’round) that I highly recommend which takes place in October of each year.
