The house of many 'o produce deal over burgers
I'll remember this place to the day I die. When I worked for Lucky Produce as a kid, every Sunday we had to work, manditory, and at around 9am - 10am, the owner of Lucky Produce, Joe Mitchell would bring the entire shop crew cheese burgers from "The Market Club" (seen pictured)for our morning break "snack". He'd then sit and bs with us, follow up on repairs needed, remind us of the day's priorities, but mostly, just find out how we were doing and get us those burgers. When he couldn't come over, either because of business or because of his health, he'd send the burgers over with the designated trailer shuffler, a driver whose main job on Sundays was to bring back empty trailers from the 5th Street market in Sacramento, and return over the river with a trailer loaded with produce sitting in our West Sacramento fleet yard. We'd always converge on the guy like vultures. Those cheese burgers came rain or shine 52 weeks of the year, and they were GOOD.
