Everybody Eats

He knew how to sell food. But owning the company would be a different story.

After twenty years in foodservice sales, Frank "Freddy" Ricossa is tired of building businesses for other people. When an opportunity arises to purchase a small New York food distribution company, he risks the money he and his wife, Tilly, have saved for their daughters' education to chase a dream of his own.

But owning Risi's Distributors means more than selling tomatoes, pasta, olive oil, and cheese.

As Freddy expands his business, he faces ruthless competitors, dangerous connections, financial pressures, and the daily challenges of keeping his employees working and his customers satisfied. When a delivery truck goes up in flames, he discovers that success can attract the wrong kind of attention.

With his family's future on the line, Freddy must learn that growing a business requires more than ambition. It takes loyalty, sacrifice, determination, and knowing whom to trust.

Everybody Eats is a compelling, often humorous story of entrepreneurship, family, organized crime, and the American dream-where every deal has a price, every decision has consequences, and everyone wants a piece of the action.

Because in business, just like in life,It works better when everybody eats.
