CAFÉ Talks Ep. 60 – Food as the Community Unifier

CAFÉ Talks Ep. 60 – Food as the Community Unifier

Wednesday, 28 December 2022 09:26

It does take a village to educate today’s cooks and chefs; a village of peer culinarians, chefs willing to mentor through internship, externship, or apprenticeship, and the community at large that shows interest in and support for the process of learning. A culinary program, if successful, understands the role of these different players and engages them in the process of learning while at the same time supporting and contributing to the profile of that community. It is this symbiotic relationship of school, business, consumer, and community leaders that is instrumental in creating a programs signature.

Join CAFÉ Talks chat with Chef Mark Wright – accomplished chef, culinary educator, and active leader within the American Culinary Federation as we delve into the importance of connecting a program with the community where it resides and assimilating the flavor of that community. This is a formula for developing uniqueness and value.
