On this episode of Profile, Todd and Ben visit with Rusty Mitch, president of Portesi Italian Foods.  The story of Portesi is one of a family business that has been producing the same high-quality frozen pizzas for the past 75 years.  Originally made locally and delivered locally, Portesi has now grown to a widely distributed brand known for their classic Italian-style frozen pizzas and their iconic cheese fries.  Rusty will also share with us how Portesi has continued to adapt and innovate and how the next generation of pizza makers are already involved in the business.
