Someone’s gotta do it, but is it a Dirty Job?

Mike Rowe brought his Dirty Jobs crew with him to the factory to learn about the tofu making process!

He is exactly how you see him on TV: down-to-earth, very funny, inquisitive, easy to talk to and friendly. Basically a guy you’d want to have a drink with.

Because he had been hanging on the side of a building 400 ft. in the air and followed that up with a whole day of jet skiing, he was moving pretty slowly when he finally got to the factory. Lucky for him we would be indoors all day and (compared to his other occupations) I thought we would be one of his easier challenges…I told them I didn’t think we really qualified as a “Dirty Job,” but maybe more like a “messy job” that wears you out. You be the judge!

    I watched the Dirty Jobs show, it was a very good show. I just enjoyed watching it. It was great fun. Cutting the tofu like that in the water was something that needs to be appreciated. Keep up the good work going.
