And a little story at the end:

Holly and Norbert

We knew where to get the Maitake mushrooms for our last Pop-Up in July. RI Mushroom Company was our source, and they also have store hours during the week where they sell all of the beautiful mushrooms. However they are in South Kingston and we had a busy week ahead of us. When I called them on Monday, they immediately asked me when I needed them by and how many mushrooms I would need. For our 12 guests I estimated 3 pounds and I needed them by Thursday of the same week. They are there on Saturdays at the farmers market in Lippit Park (Blackstone Blvd), but that would have been a little bit too close to the start of the dinner.

Guess what………on Thursday afternoon a BIG delivery truck from RI Mushroom Company pulled up in front of my house and delivered 3 pounds of beautiful Maitake mushrooms. That is what I call customer service. Thank you so much for all of your help. All of our dinner guests LOVED them.
