Unity Foods Brings Chef-Focused Distribution to Seattle’s Vibrant Food Scene

Seattle’s culinary scene is as diverse as it is dynamic—from Mediterranean-inspired plates to the creative offerings of local food trucks, neighborhood pubs, and lively bars. As restaurateurs and chefs continue to seek quality ingredients that are reliable, flexible, and delivered on time, Unity Foods LLC is stepping in to provide a solution tailored to the city’s thriving independent food businesses.

Founded in Portland, Unity Foods has earned a reputation for partnering with restaurants, caterers, and food trucks, offering high-quality products, flexible delivery options, and a service-first approach that puts chefs and operators at the center. Now, the company is expanding into Seattle, aiming to support the city’s independent operators and help them run smoother kitchens.

“Seattle’s food scene is unique, with incredible diversity and high standards,” says Calvin Russell Walsh, Founder and CEO of Unity Foods. “We wanted to bring a distribution model that’s not just about delivering boxes—it’s about understanding what each chef and kitchen really needs.”

Unity Foods specializes in supporting a wide variety of establishments, including:

• Mediterranean restaurants: Supplying fresh, consistent ingredients for everything from mezze platters to grilled seafood and house-made sauces.

• Food trucks: Providing flexible, timely deliveries to keep mobile kitchens stocked and ready for busy service hours.

• Pubs and bars: Offering reliable beverage accompaniments and snack items, allowing operators to focus on service rather than inventory headaches.

One of the company’s biggest draws is the personal service model. Rather than operating solely as a traditional distributor, Unity Foods takes the time to understand each kitchen’s workflow, menu, and preferences. “It’s about building a relationship, not just fulfilling orders,” notes Shawn Riggs, Operations Manager.

In addition to serving established restaurants, Unity Foods is targeting Seattle’s burgeoning food truck and pop-up scene—a sector that’s been growing steadily over the past several years. By delivering fresh, chef-quality ingredients directly to mobile kitchens, the company is helping operators maintain consistency without the overhead of traditional supply chains.

“Many small operators struggle with large distributors that don’t understand their pace or menu needs,” says Bettina Carey, Marketing Director. “Unity Foods is filling that gap, helping chefs focus on what they do best: creating incredible dishes for their communities.”

For Seattle food operators looking to streamline their sourcing, improve delivery reliability, and access chef-focused service, Unity Foods offers a fresh approach to distribution. With a track record of growth and satisfaction in Portland, the company is poised to become a key partner for Seattle’s independent culinary scene.
