Thank you for taking the time to respond.

We do food shows, we are involved with the ACF and schools. However as
Chefs who use our products move out of our direct market, we find a need
to service them on a more national level. For example at the moment we
could use someone in the Miami area, Philadelphia, Omaha, Pittsburgh and
Memphis. This eliminates most traditional methods of locating a
candidate. Classifieds have been un-productive.

So my thought is - if somebody is already into food in a big way - this
may be an opportunity for them to get involved professionally in their
local community on either a part-time or a full-time basis.

I still think that is an alternative to big company marketing and more
customer foccused. The hard part is to find the right people.

Thanks again for the suggestions.
