Reknown sand artist added as keynote
Joe Castillo – artist, author, storyteller
“SandStory” – will be a featured presenter at the 48th National Seminar presented by the Dairy Deli Bakery Council (DDBC) of Southern California in
September.
A native of Mexico City, Castillo
grew up surrounded by art and the cosmopolitan culture of an international city.
In his teenage years he moved to Florida,
attended Ringling School of Art, and
graduated from Florida Bible College.
He founded The Advertising Library, an
agency in Knoxville, Tenn.
After 21 years in advertising, he developed “SandStories,” a new way of
telling stories in sand. In the past 7 years
he has performed for presidents, kings
and dignitaries in 45 states and 23 foreign countries and reached the finals on
America’s Got Talent.
“SandStory” is the most compelling
new art form in decades. Sand scattered
on a light box is formed and reformed
into ever changing shapes and images
that tell visually powerful stories. Choreographed to music these images inspire, challenge and motivate in a captivating way. Castillo is certainly the premier “SandStory” in the world using a
live performance art presentation …
with a twist.
Using his artwork, he speaks, inspires
and motivates and relates life-story
applications that touch the heart. The stories literally come alive as the drawing
unfolds, captivating both the ear, the eye
and the heart. These life lessons are
memorable life-changing events.
Having spoken to hundreds of thousands of people over a period of 32
years, Castillo has mastered the ability
to share stories that inspire, and motivate. Speaking to children, teens, adults,
churches, businesses, and conferences
has made him a much-requested storyteller and raconteur. You may laugh, cry,
hurt, heal and leave his talks and stories
feeling uplifted and filled with a desire
to be more than you ever thought you
could have.

The Seminar will be conducted Sept. 911 at the Marriott Laguna Cliffs Resort in
Dana Point. The theme is “Staying Relevant
in Changing Times” which reflects the
changes that have happened and the many
changes to come in the retail supermarket
industry as it pertains to the perishables
categories.
A Troop Appreciation building event will
follow the National Deli Festival Luncheon
on Saturday. Personal items have been do-

nated to fill boxes that will be sent to service personnel overseas. Last year’s event
was highly popular and successful.
“The Committee is actively seeking additional donations of products to be included in the boxes this year,” Taketomo
said. “We need personal care items, different edibles that have a long shelf life, books,
snacks, etc. and would appreciate any company or representative with available products to contact us at the DDBC office to
make arrangements. We are increasing the
number of boxes from 250 to 300 this year.”
The Tisdell Cup National Deli Scramble
golf tournament will kick off the Seminar
Friday morning at the Monarch Beach Golf
Club. “The earlier tee time will allow golfers to finish early and have more time to
freshen up and enjoy what the resort has to
offer,” Taketomo said.
Attire for all weekend events will once
again be “resort casual”.

July is Hot Dog Month
Hot dogs are a home run at ballparks
Like candy on Halloween, hot dogs are the quintessential summer ballpark food, and the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council
(NHDSC) estimates that baseball fans will consume more than
19.4 million hot dogs and more than 4.3 million sausages during
the 2016 Major League baseball season.
The combined hot dog and sausage total could stretch from
Tropicana Field in Tampa Bay, Florida, to Angel Stadium in Anaheim. The hot dog total alone would reach as high as 5,425 One
World Trade Centers, the tallest building in the U.S.
“There are challengers galore, but hot dogs remain king of the
concession stand,” said NHDSC President Eric Mittenthal. “From
childhood through old age there are two things guaranteed to put a
smile on your face: baseball and hot dogs. It’s the perfect combination.”
The Dodgers can relish in victory as the team’s fans are once
again projected to consume the most hot dogs, totaling more than
2.6 million – a jump of more than 100,000 from last year. That is
enough to round the bases at Dodger Stadium 3,693 times, and
based on last year’s attendance, means that nearly 70 percent of
fans at Dodger home games will eat a hot dog.
The New York Yankees have again claimed second place, as
fans are expected to consume more than 1.55 million hot dogs.
Batting third are the Cleveland Indians at 1,252,463 hot dogs, followed closely behind by the Texas Rangers with 1,206,780 anticipated hot dog sales. The Chicago Cubs round out the lineup of top
hitters, with fans expected to consume more than 1,000,000 hot
dogs, representing a 17 percent increase over last year.
In perhaps the greatest upset this season, the San Francisco
Giants have unseated defending sausage champions the Milwaukee Brewers to reclaim the top spot, with 475,000 sausage sales
expected. The St. Louis Cardinals threw a curve ball, rising to clinch
second place with fans expected to consume 400,000 sausages.
The Boston Red Sox, meanwhile, earned third place with Fenway
Fans expected to eat 327,500 sausages this year. The Brewers rank
fourth at 280,000 sausages.
While perennial hot dog favorites remain staples at ballparks
across America, teams are introducing new creations that are sure
to be all-stars. With so many new options, the NHDSC launched a
new guide highlighting photos and descriptions of this season’s
most unique hot dog and sausage offerings, along with a sampling
of classic favorites. Now, fans can savor all the choices available
to them in one, convenient location.
Some of the top 2016 MLB rookies include:
• Cracker Jack & Mac Dog: Pirates fans will no longer have to
choose between two of baseball’s most cherished foods: Cracker
Jack and hot dogs. This creation, offered by Aramark, features a
hot dog topped with Cracker Jack, mac and cheese, salted caramel
sauce and fried jalapeños on naan bread.
• T.E.D. – “The Everything Dog:” Braves fans should come
hungry to eat this standard foot-long hot dog, layered with fries,
chili, nacho chips, beer cheese and jalapenos, topped with popcorn and a Coca-Cola infused BBQ sauce served in a pretzel bun.
• Cheeseburger Dog: Diamondbacks fans can indulge on this
hot dog made of char-grilled hamburgers that have been ground
up and mixed with chopped smoked bacon, green onion and cheddar cheese. They are then breaded with milk and flour, deep-fried
and served on a bun with smoked bacon and secret sauce.
• Wicked Pig: This sandwich topped with sausage, pulled pork,
Danish bacon, prosciutto, ham, coleslaw and pork rinds, finished
with BBQ sauce, is sure to please any pork loving Rangers fan.
“The hot dog and sausage innovation at ballparks is truly amazing” said Mittenthal. “Just a few years ago, macaroni and cheese
or pulled pork were considered unusual hot dog toppings, but today almost anything goes.”
Another trend is local hot dogs, such as at Wrigley Field where
Cubs fans can enjoy new hot dogs and sausages from local favorite Hot Doug’s and Gilbert’s Craft Sausages while the Nationals
are debuting a stand from local restaurant Haute Dogs and Fries
and the Indians will feature hot dogs from Happy Dog, including
one topped with Fruit Loops.
One hot dog more stadiums might consider in the future is the
West Virginia Dog, the newly crowned 2016 Hot Dog Madness
regional hot dog champion. The West Virginia Dog features chili,
mustard and coleslaw on a steamed bun. Fans chose it by voting
on the NHDSC Facebook page.

Big Cheese Award July
Doug Threadgill, Smart & Final
By DAVE DANIEL
Editor, DDBC News
Imagine that you are a Senior Category
Manager in the rapidly growing Dairy
Deli area for a large and continually expanding retail chain based in the highly competitive Southern California market.
After juggling the wide variety of the
many new items in the burgeoning “betterfor-you” trend for a few months, you need
to get away … really get away … for a few
days.
If you are Doug Threadgill at Smart &
Final, the above description fits you perfectly … and you head out of town for a
relaxing weekend of camping before the
onslaught begins again.
Threadgill is the Senior Category Manager for Dairy-Deli at the 252-store-andcounting Smart & Final Warehouse and
Market chain… and the Big Cheese Award
honoree for July by the Dairy Deli Bakery
Council (DDBC) of Southern California.
He will receive his award at the October
meeting.
“We have made a great push to incorporate Natural and Organic products in all
phases of our stores,” he said. “We have
included all the items in our normal sets all
around the store.
“At almost every presentation by a vendor to us, we let them know that this is what
we are looking for, so they are sending us
Natural, Organic, Low-Carb, Gluten Free
and similar products. We have 28 Organic
sets around the store … and this number
continues to grow and continues to be a
focus for us.”
Doug Threadgill
Threadgill has been at Smart & Final for
three years, but has more than 25 years of
experience in the Southern California food
industry. He got his start with the now defunct PIA Merchandising for about 8 years
before moving to Food 4 Less, where he
worked in merchandising for the first 5
years before being promoted to Dairy Deli
Category Manager then working in GM/
HBA.
He followed that with a 7-year stint for
Jon’s Marketplace before joining Smart &
Final.
“When I started here in July of 2013, we
had 183 stores,” he said, “and we opened 6
new stores that first year. We had 10 percent growth the next year and already have
a 15 percent growth so far this year and are
at 252 stores with more on the way as the
company is still in a growth mode.”
But he loves camping with the family and
loves playing golf.
He and wife Melissa and stepson
Jonathan, who enters high school in the fall,
take their camping trailer out locally whenever there is enough time on a weekend.
“We like to head to local beaches or to
Carlsbad when we get the chance,” he said.
“During the summer, we always try to plan
an 8-to-10 day camping trip to the Sierras.”
“We started camping when Melissa and
I were dating,” he said. “First we went tent
camping, then we moved to a pop-up trailer,
and now we have a travel trailer. I had been
camping a lot when I was younger.”
On the golf course he plays to a 4-handicap. One of his laments is that he is so busy,
he cannot play in the myriad of industryrelated golf events around the Southland.
“I can get to one or two a year, but I
haven’t recently. I’ve been playing golf
since I was 13,” he said. “My stepfather was
a professional and got me interested in the
game.”
He has golfed with many of the same
friends for 30 years. “One year a buddy and
I traveled to Scotland and played at St.
Andrews and Carnoustie. It was fantastic
… the weather was great because there was
none of the usual rain at that time. We were
very lucky in that aspect of the trip.”
Melissa owns a day spa near their home
in Monrovia and when their schedules are
in sync, they love to travel. “Melissa actually got me started with traveling,” he said.
“Her father was in the Army and they were
stationed in Italy for a time. We took a trip
there together and it was like homecoming
to her. We are planning a trip to New Orleans and to the Northwest – Portland and
Washington. We’ve also been to Vancouver
and to Hawaii.”
He relaxes at home by puttering around
the house. “I love to work in the yard,” he
said. “I do the gardening and planting.”
He joined the DDBC in 2000 while at
Food 4 Less. “It is difficult for me to get to
many meetings, but we always try to get to
the National Seminar in September every
year. There is always great networking opportunities and both Melissa and I have
made some very good friendships there.
“The feeling of comradeship among the
DDBC members is real, despite most of us
being competitors in some way. I thank the
Council for this honor; it is greatly appreciated, especially the spirit behind the
award.”
Please join the DDBC in saluting Doug
as the Big Cheese Award honoree for July.

Concept-Premier Action Group
Longtime DDBC broker members Premier Action Group of San Dimas and Concept Food Brokers of West Covina have
merged, effective June 5.
“This is a win-win situation for all concerned,” said Gary Illingworth and Bill
Schwartz of Concept in a written statement.
“In reality, Concept is simply moving to
a new location, and making a name change.
The entire Concept staff, office, and sales,
will continue to function much the same as
we have for more than 35 years, but with
some improvements.
“We will be joining Steve Sipp and his
competent and aggressive group, that will
allow for improved service to our retailers,
and provide opportunities for future growth.
Premier Action Group represents many outstanding products that complement the existing Concept lines. It will expand the foot-
print in each retailer operation that allows
representation with experience, expertise,
and new sales in all departments.”
The Concept statement continued: “We
have known Sipp, who heads up Premier
Action Group, a DBA of Action Perishables
and Marketing, Inc., for more than 20 years.
We believe Steve and his staff have the same
ethics, honesty and commitment to the industry that Concept has always strived to
achieve.
“The entire Concept staff – Gary, Bill,
Gina and Alex – are always available to
assist our customers at any time. Yes, our
name is changing, but the people are not.
Our phone, fax, email will not change, however we will be adding new numbers in the
future.
“If your system is set up to communicate or place orders with Premier, that will
work as well.”

Meal kit delivery services are flourishing
We have officially entered a new era
of culinary convenience. Meal kit delivery services are here. They are flourishing, and in the process consumers nationwide have found that answering the age
old question “What’s for dinner?” has
perhaps never been easier.
According to Meal Kit Delivery Services in the U.S., a new report from leading market research publisher Packaged
Facts, meal kit delivery services have
exploded over the past few years by
bridging the space between homecooked meals and takeout.
The services offer people a convenient way to cook at home without having to do the meal planning and grocery
shopping. Online portals let consumers
order meals ahead from picture menus
showing beautiful photos of the finished
dish, and the services deliver the premeasured fresh ingredients along with
recipes to their doorstep to help them
cook chef-like meals at home.
Based on the number of meal kit delivery services around the country, the
current numbers of meal shipments and
growth rates claimed by marketers, and
the almost certain entry of such services
from retailers and food marketers, Packaged Facts conjectures that the U.S. meal
kit delivery services market will generate approximately $1.5 billion in sales in
2016 and will grow to a multi-billion
market over the next five years.
Despite the positives, the growing
presence of meal kit delivery services
comes with a caveat for various other
segments of the food and beverage industry. Meal kit delivery services have
the potential to disrupt both the restaurant industry and the grocery industry
because they allow people to cook restaurant-quality meals at home without
going out to grocery shop.
“These days, consumers have access
to almost everything without leaving their
home and – through the power of
smartphones – without even speaking to
another human being. Rather than worrying whether meal kit delivery services
will cut into their business, some grocers
and food marketers are taking the bull by
the horns and starting their own such services,” says David Sprinkle, research director, Packaged.
This first edition report covers online
meal kit delivery services, defined as
companies that offer and deliver to consumers’ doors (or arrange for delivery
of) a box or bag of fresh ingredients for
one or more meals, along with a stepby-step recipe with photos showing how
to cook each meal at home. The everything-in-a-box kits promise convenience
by eliminating the need to plan meals,
find recipes, and shop for groceries. Ingredients are portioned in just the right
quantities for the recipe, and sometimes
even prepped (pre-cut, marinated, packaged with pre-cooked sauce components,
etc.) to speed and ease consumers’ time
spent in the kitchen. Excluded from this
report are services that deliver completely cooked heat-and-eat meals, and
services that deliver frozen foods
Packaged Facts, a division of

intelligence on consumer market topics,
including consumer demographics and
shopper insights, consumer financial
products and services, consumer goods

June Meeting of DDBC
Casino Night fun attracts large crowd
The third Jean Dreshner Memorial Casino Night and Mixer had a two-fold purpose in June ... to honor one of the more
active retailers in the Dairy Deli Bakery
Council (DDBC) of Southern California,
and to have some fun while raising funds
for the Lymphoma Foundation.
Dreshner died of lymphoma in 2013. A
portion of the proceeds from the event were
donated to the Lymphoma Foundation.
The gathering gave the DDBC members
in attendance the opportunity to meet many
members of the Dreshner family, including
her husband, Bob Hernandez, son Greg
Hernandez, and many other family members.
Following a buffet dinner consisting of
Italian dishes, approximately three hours of
gaming took place, featuring Black Jack
tables, roulette, craps, and Texas Hold’em
games.
Winners collected tickets in proportion
to their amount of winnings and were able
to place them in raffles for a wide variety
of prizes donated by member companies.
