Sounds like a good idea, but you can only prepare food for sale in a commercial kitchen, not in your home.

Maybe - but it's readily available wholesale too. It's important not to dismiss alternatives off-hand. If there is a guy already doing it - why can't that guy be you. To me, it looks like about the only thing standing between someone doing it is a list of wholesalers and about eight grand.
In the larger sense, I'm saying that if I were you, I would start thinking about creating my own job security and not leaving my livelihood in the hands of someone that can s-can you on a whim or at the end of one bad quarter.

i've always thought that would be a cool venture.

i have pipe dreamed several different concepts.... stuck in the grind, now, though.

I got laid off twice, back to back. The second time I was pretty pissed off. Sucks.
