<p>Have you ever pondered the intricacies of running a hospitality-centric restaurant or food service establishment? Picture a place where every team member is fully aligned in their dedication to serving guests with utmost care. Surprisingly, it all begins with the education and guidance provided to restaurant staff.

Prior to the launch of Michael's Backstreet Cafe in Irvington, New Jersey in 1989, I was fortunate to learn from esteemed chefs like the late Chef Leah Chase of Dookie Chase in New Orleans and the late Austin Leslie of Chez Helene, also in New Orleans. The philosophies they imparted were invaluable to my journey toward success.

Now, let me introduce you to Chef Daniel, an instructor at Ozarks Technical Community College in Springfield, Missouri. He has elevated his teaching beyond merely shaping aspiring chefs; he's grooming them for the realities of the industry. Acting as both mentor and trainer, Chef Daniel instills in his students not only culinary prowess but also the mindset and discipline needed to excel in the professional realm. Their focus? Winning the hearts of those they serve and seamlessly integrating into the larger framework of service within an organization.

Listen in as Chef Daniel shares his insights and best practices—it's a masterclass in culinary education and service excellence.
