CAFÉ in conjunction with Le Cordon Bleu in Las Vegas just completed its 3rd Annual Event for FOH Instructors. This experience was one of the best ever! Here are some attendee comments:
“Bernard Martinage (CAFÉ's keynoter) was great! He motivated me and I've been doing front of the house over 20 years!”
“I was hesitant about doing a one–day agenda with so many presentations, but this was well worth the time and money! Well organized and well presented (professional & relevant) presentations.”
“I found this workshop to be very informative and I loved the passion the instructors had.”
“Excellent event; a must for any serious educator.”
“I have attended many professional development workshops over the last 8 years, but this was the most outstanding! Definitely the best value for the cash!”
Attendees heard from people TOPS in their field as well as outstanding educators who shared their ideas with the group. The opening night reception included exercises in water profiles as well as blue cheese/wine pairings from Wisconsin which were perfect for the classroom. The week–end was topped off with a two–hour tour of Aria, the newest, hottest property in Las Vegas—a 4,000-room hotel/casino with Gold Leeds Certification.
Attendees came from Hawaii, Washington, Illinois, California, North Carolina, New York, Colorado, Arizona, Florida, Michigan, Wyoming, Texas, and Nevada. A good time was had by all!
Healthy Pasta?
When talking about nutrition, there are a lot of questions—Which fats are the good fats? Are all carbs created equal? How much sodium is too much? What's a serving of vegetables? What's a whole grain? No two answers are alike and they seem to be always changing. As an educator, understanding which answers are really durable and won't evaporate with the next diet craze can be a real challenge.
Jackie Schulz, MS, RD, LDN, Corporate Dietitian at Barilla America, will cut through the clutter and reveal some basic guidelines that are backed by science and built to last. In fact, some of the best advice has been around for centuries and small, simple adjustments can have a large impact on our health.
Ms. Schulz will be co–presenting with Lorenzo Boni, Executive Chef at Barilla America at CAFÉ's Healthy Menu workshop, hosted by Kendall College, July 23–25, in Chicago.
