After graduating from University of Michigan with a degree in Russian
history, Ari Weinzweig went to work washing dishes in a local restaurant
and soon discovered that he loved the food business. Along with his
partner Paul Saginaw, Ari started Zingerman's Delicatessen in 1982 with a
$20,000 bank loan, a staff of two, a small selection of great-tasting
specialty foods, and a relatively short sandwich menu. Today,
Zingerman's is a community of businesses that employs over 500 people
and includes a bakery, creamery, sit-down restaurant, training company,
coffee roaster, and mail order service. Ari is the author of the
best-selling
Zingerman's
Guide to Good Eating and the forthcoming
Zingerman's Guide to Better Bacon.
