Did you get to meet Duke?

I can’t imagine going all the way to Napa w/ the folks from Bush’s and not meeting Duke – or Duke’s body double.

I love cooking with Bush’s Beans. They have such a rich and flavorful taste. I make the absolute best Ham and Bean soup with their flavored beans and ham that has been double smoked by my favorite butcher at our local Farmers Market. If you are a ham lover you have got to try this ham. It’s amazing!
What a fun time for you. Can’t wait to hear more.
