“I have the best food job in the world!” [12:00]
“For PR purposes it’s all about relationships and working at the Beard house is no different. There’s an opportunity — and lots of chefs would love that opportunity. The criteria I use is to look at a chefs biography and see where they’re working. I consider any press they receive, to see how it would be positioned in the community. I also keep in mind that the role of the Beard House is not to showcase chefs critically – it’s more about whether or not they can pull off a meal for 80 people with 5 courses.” [21:00]

Todays music provided by The California Honeydrops. Image from Glen and Co. Thats what I truly love about the restaurant industry. Were working with every restaurant as if its their story...were starting with what is the essence of their idea, what is the essence of their menu.
