In this episode of Pizza Quest we return to Ann Arbor, Michigan for a visit with another member of the Zingerman’s Community of Businesses, this time with Amy Emberling. Amy is the managing partner at the world-famous Zingerman’s Bakehouse, where NY-Style rye bread meets San Francisco-style sourdough, and “Old School Apple Pie” gets reinvented using Michigan-grown apples with a crust made with the highest quality leaf lard. Amy shares with us the unique vision and philosophy that has made Zingerman’s an iconic brand and also a template for entrepreneurs in all types of businesses; it’s where the values of artisanship converge with a unique vision of ethical business practices, and something special can, and does, happen.
