Just out: a very special issue of Bravo, our “almost quarterly” company magazine! Read about how we’re reinventing the company while staying true to our roots, illustrated with snapshots from @foundryandlux (🙌🏻 Executive Chef Carrie Pearl on the cover!), @bonappetitatmills @oraclecafes @lafayettediningservices @transylvania_dining @andrews_diningservices @tasteofchasecenter & more! 🔗 in bio! 🎊
It's the last day of #chefappreciationweek, in which we're celebrating some of our #HeroesBehindTheFood. David Smigo, @bonappetit_cornell executive chef, is “the hardest working human I’ve ever met,” says General Manager James Richards. “He’s a culinary Mozart, and he’s also always polite and kind; he treats everyone with dignity and respect. When Dave is around, the wake is straight, the trains run on time, and the team is efficient and engaged.” Dave and James fed @cornellcollege students on campus until mid-June, earning Cornell’s Purple Rock Award for their efforts. Then they took care of students and repair teams in the aftermath of the derecho windstorm that ripped power and supply lines to the college — and all over Iowa. Now more than ever, “it is so important to make people feel at home, to inquire about their individual preferences and provide a positive memorable experience,” says Dave. “We must create purposefully, with the intent to provide complete nutrition.” Read more about Dave via 🔗 in bio!
