Matt regularly appears with Jordan Rich on “Connoisseur’s Corner” which airs on WBZ (http://boston.cbslocal.com) weekdays at 11:55 AM.
The following is a “script” for one of Matt’s forthcoming segments:
In recent years, Vietnam has become one of the hottest tourism destinations for Americans and people are bringing back all sorts of amazing things from a nation that was once considered to be our worst enemy. Perhaps one of the greatest imports is the Gac fruit. While you may not have heard of it before, there are a pair of recent Brown University grads who hope to change that. Under the name X O I, these international entrepreneurs brought this sweet and tangy super-high antioxidant supplier to our shores, first through a powder that could be added to almost anything and now through a set of hand-made, hand-bottled juices. As the creators are from Vietnam, they are also able to assure that the fruit is fresh and that the trade is fair, as they know and work directly with the farmers and can get the pick of each crop to you with little interruption or processing. so it good for you, for them and for the producers too!
