July is Hot Dog Month
Corn dogs move into popularity lead
A surprising choice has emerged in the
age old debate of Americans’ favorite regional hot dogs. In a new survey, corn dogs
were the top dog (46 percent) among consumers who said they have a favorite regional hot dog.
New York hot dogs topped with mustard
and onions were the second choice at 38
percent beating out the well-dressed Chicago dog, which were tops among 26 percent of Americans with a favorite. Chicago
dogs feature mustard, onions, relish, tomato
slices, a dill pickle spear, a sport pepper and
celery salt on a poppy seed bun. The survey
was conducted online in April 2014 among
over 2,100 U.S. adults ages 18 and older by
Harris Poll for the National Hot Dog and
Sausage Council (NHDSC).
“Americans have long loved corn dogs
at county and state fairs where they first
emerged, but their national popularity surprised us. Historically, they faced tough
competition from the hometown favorites
in New York and Chicago,” said Janet Riley,
NHDSC President and ‘Queen of Wien.’
“We clearly underestimated the allure of the
deep fried corn meal batter combined with
the snap of the hot dog.”
The difference might be generational, as
polling found that among those that have a
favorite, corn dogs were the clear favorite
amongst 18-34 year olds, with 55 percent
choosing corn dogs while for Americans
between 55-64 years of age, New York hot
dogs remained the favorite (49 percent).
No matter the age or regional preference,
hot dogs will be a popular choice for Ameri-
cans this summer. Between Memorial Day
and Labor Day, Americans are expected to
eat seven billion hot dogs. Consumption
peaks over the Independence Day holiday,
when Americans are expected to eat 150
million hot dogs.
“The summer grilling season is to hot dog
fans what Christmas is to kids,” said Riley.
“It’s an American tradition and whether you
are at a barbecue, baseball game or in your
backyard, odds are that hot dogs will be on
the menu.”
The NHDSC has extensive resources on
hot dogs and sausages for the summer in-
cluding an all new page on AllRecipes.com
with nearly 100 recipes; a guide to hot dog
etiquette and guide to hot dogs across
America with descriptions of different regional hot dogs and video tips on how to
make them.
This survey was conducted online within
the United States by Harris Poll on behalf
of NHDSC from April 24-28, 2014 among
2,130 adults ages 18 and older. This online
survey is not based on a probability sample
and therefore no estimate of theoretical sampling error can be calculated.
Hot Dog etiquette – follow it precisely
Don’t ... Put hot dog toppings between
the hot dog and the bun. Always “dress the
dog,” not the bun.
Condiments should be applied in the following order: wet condiments like mustard and
chili are applied first, followed by chunky
condiments like relish, onions and
sauerkraut, followed by shredded cheese,
followed by spices, like celery salt or pepper.
Do ... Serve sesame seed, poppy seed and
plain buns with hot dogs. Sun-dried tomato
buns or basil buns are considered gauche
with franks.
Don’t ... Use a cloth napkin to wipe your
mouth when eating a hot dog. Paper is always preferable.
Do ... Eat hot dogs on buns with your
hands. Utensils should not touch hot dogs
on buns.
Do ...Use paper plates to serve hot dogs.
Every day dishes are acceptable; china is a
no-no.
Don’t ... Take more than five bites to fin-
ish a hot dog. For foot-long wiener, seven
bites are acceptable.
Don’t ... Leave bits of bun on your plate.
Eat it all.
Don’t ... Put fresh herbs on the same plate
with hot dogs. It over-does the presentation
Don’t ... Use ketchup on your hot dog
after the age of 18. Mustard, relish, onions,
cheese and chili are acceptable.

“The contributions of both men in the
early years of the DDBC are immeasurable,”
said Jim Veregge (Unified Grocers), himself a member of the Council’s Hall of Fame.
“They laid the foundation for this organization that has held it together for more than
half a century and they should never be forgotten.”

away, not washed.
Do ... Use multi-colored toothpicks to

46th DDBC National Seminar
Two key speakers added to program line--up
Many details of the 46th National DDBC
Seminar, scheduled for Sept. 12-14 at the
prestigious Omni La Costa Resort & Spa in
Carlsbad, have been announced, according
to Kristal Clark (Advantage Sales & Marketing), General Chairman for the event.
Joining previously announced keynote
speakers Tim Mulhall (Food 4 Less) and
Jennifer Overton (Marriott) are Daniel Barth
(Super King Markets) and motivational
speaker Stacy Motenko
“We are extremely pleased and fortunate
to continue to have such quality speakers
added to the Seminar program,” Clark said.
“And we aren’t done yet as we continue to
put the finishing touches on an outstanding
line-up.”
Barth is the General Manager of Super
King Markets. He is responsible for Buying, Merchandising and Operations.
Barth joined Super King in 2006 as Grocery Buyer and has participated in growing
the company from 2 stores to 6 stores and 2
warehouses over the last 8 years. He was
appointed to his current position in 2009.
Barth began what turned out to be his
career in the grocery business with Vons/
Pavilions in 1977 as a courtesy clerk. During this time he enjoyed 8 years on the
Tianguis Stores project – Vons energetic
foray into serving the Hispanic demographic
in Southern California.
He held several store positions up to
Store Director, then Buyer/Merchandiser
and was with Vons until 1997. From there
he spent time with Gelson’s Markets and
Tresierras Bros. Corporation before joining
Super King.
At each juncture he has been supported
and taught by many people, some of whom
will be at the Seminar, and for that he is
grateful.
Daniel and his wife Eugenia serve in
children’s ministries in their local congregation and he serves on the Board of Directors of Sarge’s Community Base, a Pasadena-based non-profit serving at risk youth
and their families. He is the proud father of
five children. He and his family live in the
San Fernando Valley.
Motenko, 27, works as a Patient Advocate at a specialty pharmacy, where she provides support, resources and education for
Daniel Barth, General Manager
Super King Markets
patients with chronic illnesses. She received
her degree in Communication from the University of California, Santa Barbara, where
she minored in Education and Applied Psychology.
Motenko was born with a fatal disease –
cystic fibrosis – and was given a life expectancy of less than 18 years.
Today, she is not only alive well past her
life expectancy; she has accomplished many
things along the way.
Stacy has been volunteering and speaking at events for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation for the past 16 years. She has been
the keynote speaker at the Orange County
Gala for the past 14 years and a Team Leader
for the Great Strides Program, raising millions of dollars for medical research.
In addition to speaking for the CF Foundation, she has also spoken at Corporate
Events, Pharmaceutical Companies and
Hospitals.
Stacy Motenko, Speaker
Breaking Boundaries
She was chosen twice to be an Ambassador for the California Life Sciences day at
the State Capitol, where she spoke to Legislators about health care reform. She was
also the recipient of the 2013 Alex Award,
given by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation to
one individual in the Country who is making a significant difference in the community.
In addition, she was featured in OC
Metro Magazine as one of 10 women making a difference in Orange County and was
the recipient of the Hero of Hope Award
sponsored by Genentech. Most recently, she
gave a TEDx talk about Breaking
Boundaries for an audience of 2,000 students.
She has learned how to overcome the
challenges that she faces each day and has
inspired others to live their lives to the fullest and give back to the community.
Her talk about Breaking Boundaries inspires others to live life to the fullest; overcome obstacles; accomplish challenging
goals; believe in themselves; not let limitations define them or limit dreams; realize
their own power.

The Big Cheese
Stan Foster, Moark LLC
By DAVE DANIEL
Editor, DDBC News
You’ve heard the expression that so-andso is a “good egg.”
Meet Stan Foster, who fits that description to a T.
Foster is the General Manager/Sales
Manager for Moark LLC and has a work
force of more than 3 million chickens on
three egg farms in Southern California producing approximately 12 million eggs every week. (And that’s not counting another
6 million birds or so outside of California).
Foster has been selected as the Big
Cheese Award honoree for July by the Dairy
Deli Bakery Council (DDBC) of Southern
California, but will be honored at the October meeting, which is the next general membership meeting on the Council’s calendar.
Foster was born into the egg business.
Literally.
“I was born and raised in West Covina
on a chicken ranch, known as our egg farm”
he said. “At that time, there were about
60,000 back-yard chickens in West Covina.”
His grandfather started Foster Enterprises, an egg business, in 1942, although
there have been a few name changes along
the way. The company specializes in organic, cage-free, and pastured eggs. His father and brother Jeff work there, as did Stan
and his other brothers. And his nephew,
Evan, son of Stan’s brother Jeff, is the fourth
generation on the farm.
And that’s not to mention Stan’s brother,
Gary, who is General Manager of Norco
Ranch and vice president of Southern California Egg Co-op, which has purchased
Stan Foster
Moark LLC, from Land O Lakes, the Minnesota-headquartered food giant that is returning to its roots as a dairy company.
(More on that later.)
And if you think your job has been
changed by technological advances with
computers, smart phones, emails and the like
over the past few years, you can take a back
seat to the egg business.
“My first job was to change the rubber
bands on the egg packing machine, which
pushed eggs down the packing line. We had
to hand stamp every egg carton. We had a
big block of wood and a large ink pad to
stamp the name of the store on each carton
… and my dad was a stickler and made sure
they were stamped straight and not off-center.
“Now, no human hands ever touch the
egg until a customer checks them in the
store. We used to hand weigh every egg to
decide which carton to put it in. Eggs are
classified by weight, not size, so an extra
large egg weighs more than a large egg, but
it may be the same size.
“Cameras are used, along with soundwave technology to detect hairline cracks
in the shell. Automatic scales weigh the
eggs. The eggs roll down the slope of the
nest to a conveyor belt, where they are
moved to be washed, graded, and placed in
the proper carton … all done by machine.
No one ever has to touch the egg.”
And if you want to join Stan on one of
his inspection tours at one of the facilities,
he will be happy to provide you with the
customary hazmat (hazardous materials) suit
to wear … to protect the chickens, not you.
“We have a pretty big investment in the
chickens and the facilities and we don’t want
anything to happen to them,” he points out.
“We can track the flow of the chicken, even
the ones in the coop, for their entire lives.”
Besides being the franchise holder for
Eggland’s Best, Moark does private label
packing for a wide variety of customers.
“One of the things we are really cautious
about is getting fresh eggs to our customers
so the consumer has the very freshest product. If an egg is laid tonight, it is packed
tomorrow. We pick store orders through our
EDI (electronic data information) system
and deliver direct to supermarket warehouses, or in some cases by DSD (direct
store delivery).
Eggland’s Best is one of a few nationally branded eggs and has about 24 percent
market share. “It has actual attributes that
other eggs do not have,” Foster noted. “It is
25 percent lower in saturated fat, up to 10
times more Vitamin E and more than double
in Omega 3 versus an ordinary egg. It really is a healthier egg for you.”
He points out the chickens are checked
on a daily basis for bird health, a nutritionist checks their diets and adjusts it if needed;
body weights are checked and blood
samples are drawn to make sure they are
healthy and well taken care of.
“A hen starts producing eggs at the age
of 20 weeks and continues for about two
years. There is a lot of feed … and growth
time … and expensive labor involved,” he
said.
His work day begins 7-ish in the office
and usually doesn’t end until 7 or 8 p.m. “I
wish I could have been involved more with
the Council, but my work and travel schedule simply has not permitted it,” he said.
“We do support the work of Council with

Congratulations to Stan Foster
from all of your friends at
Eggland’s Best LLC and Moark LLC.
A well deserved honor!
May Meeting of DDBC
A lifetime of memories come flooding back
Eleanor Bennett, fondly known as the “First Lady” of the Dairy
Deli Bakery Council, received the Council’s prestigious Lifetime
Achievement Award at the May meeting.
Bennett spent 35 years with Unified Grocers (when it was known
as Certified Grocers, then Unified Western Grocers) before retiring in 2000.
In her time there, she became the first woman to be honored
with the Big Cheese Award in 1975, the first woman to be elected
President (1978), the first woman Retailer of the Year (1981), the
first woman General Chairman of the National Seminar (1991),
and the first woman inducted into the DDBC Hall of Fame (1997).
She was the fifth person to receive the President’s Award (1999)
and is the 11th to receive the Lifetime Achievement Award.
Jim Veregge (Unified Grocers) presented a “This Is Your Life”
program, tracing her geneology back to Tipparary, Ireland and following her family. Besides the excellent slide show, he presented
bound copies of the presentation to her and her family.
Bennett’s motto at Unified Grocers was simple: “Work twice as
hard and work twice as smart as my counter-parts ... and follow
through,” she said.
Her trailblazing efforts opened not only many doors, but
oftentimes the floodgates for women in the perishable foods industry. It was 10 years before another woman would become president
of the Council, but since then, eight other women have held the
Council’s highest office.
In other business at the meeting, Bob Cashen (Cacique, Inc.)
was presented the Big Cheese Award for May by President Connie
Thatcher (Advantage Sales & Marketing). Also, Kristal Clark (Advantage Sales & Marketing) gave a preview of the 46th National
Seminar, scheduled for Sept. 12-14 in Carlsbad. Veregge also previewed upcoming meetings with the Jean Dreshner Memorial Casino night next on tap in July.

Unified Grocers Expo
More space makes
for better Expo
The Unified Grocers Expo 2014 lived up to its billing as “bigger
and better than ever.”
The largest wholesaler in the Western United States revamped
the floor layout of the Long Beach Convention Center in June to
make it easier to navigate the full house of exhibitors, and included
more space for one-on-one transaction of business; larger booth
size; and the grouping of retail services, technology, and nonproduct businesses in one section, and adding the convenience of
credit card paying.
Many of the Expo enhancements were the result of feedback
provided by exhibitors and retailers, according to Bob Ling,
president and CEO of Unified Grocers.

DPI Specialty Foods Show
Spirit of Aloha fills
growing food expo
DPI Specialty Foods’ annual food show continues to grow. The
May 1 get-together at the Pechanga Resort & Spa in Temecula
displayed that fact.
The theme was all Hawaiian and the casual atmosphere was a
big hit with the more than 200 vendors showing their wares in the
heavily traveled aisles.
The growth of the show was evident as the ballroom over-flowed
into the lobby and hallways of the conference area of the resort
with additional vendors and displays of many perishable, bakery
and other items.
The show also featured a golf tournament on May 2.

Change is afoot. By Jan. 1, 2015 California will require egg producers to expand
living space per hen to about 116 square
inches, compared with an industry average
of 67. All out-of-state egg producers must
adopt California cage rules if they want to
sell here.
That is one of the reasons Land O Lakes
decided to divest the egg business to a company that is dedicated to producing eggs
under the new guidelines for the California
marketplace. Southern California Egg Coop’s members are fixtures in the California
egg industry and are very busy modifying
and expanding their farms to be ready for
Jan. 1, 2015.
Foster has spent a lot of time at the company headquarters in the Midwest. He loves
to travel to Puerto Vallarta one of his regular destinations.
“Someone once gave me the advice to
just choose a job I wouldn’t be bored in. I
can honestly say that maybe three days out
of 58 years have been boring. There is always activity here … raising chickens, feeding them, dealing with customers and regulatory agencies … there is always something going on.”
