As challenging as it is to execute a large-scale banquet or orchestrate the line in a busy restaurant, it can't compare to that first time you stand in front of a class filled with students – some of whom who are excited to learn while others are not quite sure. You may know "how" tasks are accomplished in the kitchen, your taste receptors are likely fine-tuned, and your ability to problem-solve is never questioned, but now, it's all about different learning styles, patience, coaxing with

CAFE Episode 105 - Ending Poverty with a Job

CAFE Talks Podcast ·

2026/01/14

Education and training are the great equalizers. They lead to jobs, careers, and a sense of fulfillment and self-worth. Jobs provide purpose and direction, social interaction, and the ability to put for food on our table, clothes on our backs, and a roof over our heads – the essentials of existence. With a growing population of poor, frightening increases in homelessness, food insecurity, and mental health challenges – job creation is an important first step in finding resolution.

CAFE Talks Podcast ·

2025/11/12

When all is said and done; after a restaurateur invests a fortune in an operations ambience, perfect location, the right music, detailed training, and a well thought out marketing strategy, success comes down to flavor. This is what pulls guests in and keeps them coming back. Ah, but flavor includes all these factors in addition to the typical understanding of flavor. Smell, texture, sound, taste, and visuals are the building blocks of flavor, but even if all these factors are spot on, we can't

Food Insecurity

CAFE Talks Podcast ·

2025/10/08

Imagine not knowing when you will eat next or where that meal will come from? Think about the relationship that sound nutrition has with your ability to learn, understand, focus, grow, and solve everyday problems. When you are hungry, everything else seems to carry less weight. Consider that nearly 25% of young people in America today (including college students) are food insecure. Try to digest how that might be possible in the wealthiest country in the world; a country that produces more food than

The Entrepreneurial Chef

CAFE Talks Podcast ·

2025/09/10

It’s every chef’s dream – to own a restaurant that carries their signature. A culmination of years, if not decades of experiences, skill building, brand creating, networking, and product testing can lead to an operation that is theirs to mold. Ah…but the skill set that got a chef to this point is suddenly significantly different and more complex. All the anxiety and stress of preparing a station in time for the onslaught of orders never goes away even when the chef is now an owner. They may not find

The best partnerships require a willingness to listen, the flexibility to change and the desire to embrace it, recognition of each other’s challenges and needs, and a touch of creativity.

CAFE Ep99 - Only so many fish in the sea

CAFE Talks Podcast ·

2025/04/16

We have all heard the phrase: “There are plenty of fish in the sea”, of course used in a different context, but with increased demand at the plate and concerns over the impact of global climate change, the reality is that seafood supply is not guaranteed. Chefs and educators have a role to play in helping consumers stretch their palates and move towards more sustainable fish and sustainable fishing processes used domestically and internationally.

The menu is centerpiece to the restaurant experience and as such, one of the most critical (and enjoyable) tasks that a chef engages in. Bringing family traditions, work experiences, influence from mentors, and ethnic background to the table, a chef will create his or her menu signature. This signature includes all components of FLAVOR (taste, smell, texture, visual impact, sound, and context) as well as the business dynamics that drive restaurant success.

2024/11/20

The American dairy represents the core of generational family businesses that made our country strong. The work is incredibly hard and unpredictable; the connection to the land is critical; the love of and care for dairy cows is wonderful to experience, and the product is on every kitchen table from coast to coast. Yet, operating a dairy farm focused on fluid milk is so incredibly challenging forcing farmers to seek ways to increase herd size and production to make ends meet. Some, like Point Reyes

2024/11/07

Since those early days, in 1905, when Gennaro Lombardi opened the first American pizzeria in New York City, the United States has been in love with this seemingly simple menu item of crust, tomatoes, and cheese. Pizza has become the menu choice of everyday celebrations, a neighborhood attraction that brings people together, a family tradition, and a nourishing, delicious, versatile item for people on the go. It is nearly impossible to find a city, town, village, or hamlet in the United States that

Engagement is the goal of every faculty member. When a class is engaged then the dynamics around real learning is evident.

At a time of uncertainty within higher education, it is refreshing to know that there are knowledge leaders working to define what opportunities stand before us. Artificial Intelligence, education as a service industry, on-line education, enrollment decline, value assessment vs. rising costs, and an audience that doesn’t learn the same way that previous generations did, all combine into a stew of challenge; a stew that needs the right amount of seasoning from educational leaders, faculty members,

Everyone learns differently, yet many educational models focus on a standardized approach. To some, a traditional college education sets the stage for a successful future while for others a trade school is more appropriate. With respect to culinary education there is little argument over the value of a hands-on approach and the importance of real-life experiences. Evolving from the early apprenticeship model, culinary schools have been very successful at teaching the “why” associated with skill

We may think that a protein is the center of the plate for most restaurant menu items, but based on popularity, variety, and pure satisfaction – the potato reigns supreme. From baked, mashed, hash browns, roasted, and scalloped to the mighty French fry, people love potatoes. Idaho produces nearly one third of all the potatoes available on the U.S. market. The “spud” state offers a perfect environment for growing exceptional potatoes, especially the classic russet. The volcanic soil, desert climate
