The interviews by Paul Sorgule, CAFÉ’s Champion of the Year, are insightful and particularly valuable to educators, students, and industry.
The topics range and cover all angles of our changing industry which has gone through a particularly challenging year.
FOR EXAMPLE:
- What does a Flavorist do?
- What was the legacy of Chef Escoffier?
- What lessons can the foremost Cajun Chef share with the listener?
- How about the Futurist…his methods are fascinating and his conclusions worth thinking about.
- How do products get developed?
- You’ll hear from chef educators who are dedicated to mentoring, to waste reduction, to pushing their students and faculty from good to great!
- You’ll hear from chefs who after years in industry are even more challenged and excited about culinary education.
- What are restaurateurs dealing with?
- See our three seasons below and let us know what you think!
So remember this summer, if and when you have some free time, sitting on the beach, by the poolside or just relaxing, please take advantage of listening to these interesting and informative podcasts.
