CAFE Episode 104 - Assessing flavor memory
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 forget the importance of context which includes all those efforts surrounding the food. Learn how important the whole package is to a restaurants flavor reputation and how, as educators and trainers, we can teach methods for understanding and building flavor. Join CAFÉ Talks Podcast for a deep dive discussion with Chef Robert Danhi, a culinary professional who has dedicated his career to this essential topic for every cook, chef, baker, and restaurateur.

Food Insecurity

Food Insecurity
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 it needs. Yet, here we are, in the grips of a serious problem that impacts so many. As educators we have an opportunity and a responsibility to help set the stage for student learning. Without sound nutrition, without adequate healthy calories, our students will find it very difficult to assimilate what it is that we offer in the classroom. Join CAFÉ Talks for a presentation on Food Insecurity by Chef Thomas Barnes of the Indiana University of Pennsylvania. It might just change your perspective on what it means to be a caring teacher.

The Entrepreneurial Chef
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 themselves sweating out the plethora of orders on a Saturday night, multi-tasking numerous preparations, and finishing plate presentations as the dish slides down the pass, but they still feel that pressure and joy while wrestling with the role of financial manager, marketer, human resource manager, trainer, motivator, and ultimate problem solver. Join CAFE Talks for a candid interview with Chef Eric Warnstedt, owner of Heirloom Hospitality and its cadre of restaurants s we dig into the life of the chef/restaurateur.

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.

CAFE Episode 98 - Taste and Flavor & Modern Menus
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. Join CAFÉ Talks for a conversation with Katie Ayoub, one of the country’s most experienced experts in the areas of menu development and taste dynamics as she uncovers some of the secrets of building a successful menu concept while keeping an eye on the trends that drive consumer engagement.

CAFE Episode 97 - Cheese - Milk's Immortality
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 in California, have embraced a different approach, an exciting way of turning the page toward success through production of signature cheeses. At a time when much attention is paid to reducing carbon footprints and supporting local farming, this model of unique, signature cheese making is the right move at the right time. Join CAFÉ Talks Podcast for our chat with Jill Giacomini Basch of Point Reyes Farmstead Cheese Company for an inside look at a model family run business producing some of the finest signature cheeses to be found anywhere.

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 lacks at least one, if not many pizzerias to choose from. The pizzeria is an important entry-level business for budding entrepreneurs, and a perfect business for those who love to connect with people and put a smile on their face.

CAFE Ep89 - Real Life Repetition Leads to True Competence
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 development and only with the addition of “how” experiences such as on-campus restaurants, internships, and externships have they found a level of success with building real competence. Is it time for the apprenticeship model to regain its rightful place as a preferred educational means to an end?

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 with more than 280 days of annual sunshine, and a commitment to 100% irrigation make Idaho the perfect location for exceptional potatoes. Join CAFÉ Talks podcast for a recent interview with Alan Kahn – Vice President for Foodservice at the Idaho Potato Commission for a fascinating insight into the life and marketing of this incredible ingredient.
