Mark Twain

“I'm in favor of progress; it's change I don't like.”
Mark Twain

I think that all of us involved with education and the hospitality industry can relate at some points to Mark Twain’s comment about change.

A Special Evening

The Deans and Directors Retreat, March 13-15, 2020 in New Orleans, will feature a Meet and Greet on Friday evening at the new NOCHI…New Orleans Culinary & Hospitality Institute. NOCHI is an “industry approach to training and education.”

Awards Programs!

We know culinary instructors and their programs are doing some pretty spectacular things! I am seeing innovations and incredible outreach all the time and I’m happy to give some reward and visibility for these efforts through CAFE’s Awards Program.
