Falling into Fall with Food + Fun

Clearer days, cooler mornings, and crisp afternoon sunsets… the autumn season in East Tennessee is enjoyable in many ways. The leaves have a devoted fan base; the pumpkin patch is tradition for many local children and adults; and families enjoy drives in the scenic Cades Cove area on the weekends.

At CORECHEM, fall means green trucks idling in fresh, snappy, barely-bright mornings… and (historically) Inventory Day.

That’s different, this year – with a change in our fiscal calendar. Inventory Day won’t be held until the end of 2025 (our new fiscal year).

Instead, we kicked off the fall season with ribeye steaks + fries, cooked to perfection and thoroughly enjoyed by the team. Later, we had some fun with a game at the conclusion of our staff meeting. (You can enjoy the ‘behind-the-scenes’ in the video above!)

We asked the team for feedback on the meal / event – here’s what they had to say:

“It was fabulous!” – Frank

“I’ve never had better steaks – perfectly cooked and practically melted in my mouth. Absolutely phenomenal!” – Randy

“Thoroughly enjoyed…” – Tim

“The ribeyes were great, thank you very much!” – Joey

“The steaks were amazing, the fries were phenomenal!” – Renae

“I pay good money for food at restaurants that isn’t as good as our employee lunch. Great food…and we got to enjoy it with our team!” – John R.

“It was a really good meal, and I enjoyed the whole event.” – Roxanne

“The fries were good…” – Wyatt

“They were… some of the best french fries I have ever had, if not the best! The steaks were phenomenal!” – Sherrie

The staff lunch was a wonderful way for everyone to come together and visit in a relaxed environment.  The food was amazing and lovingly prepared for us personally by the President, CEO, and their families.  Very much appreciated!” – Electra

“I didn’t know tortellini’s belonged in salad… it was a spiritual awakening!!” – Matty (recently moved from SD!!)

“I loved the opportunity to connect with coworkers I wouldn’t normally talk to!” – Emery

Thanks, team, for all you do for our customers & coworkers every day! YOU are the best!
