Job Hunt 3.0

So here it was; 500 resumes reviewed, 147 panel interviews - down to 17 viable candidates, now just four left. The Company decided that the best way to determine who would fill theposition was to have a 'Top Chef' style cook off, oh my.Southern Style Meatloaf and a Chef's choice entree. 1 Presentation plate and tasting plates for 10.A month passes and I get the call, it would seem that I'm one of the last three standing, one candidate dropped out when they found out that they would need to cook…See More

Master Mind Groups or Relationship as Innovation

Just got blown up by my best friend and a true culinary visionary, Greg Barnhill, Executive Chef at The Charles Court at The Broadmoor Resort in Colorado Springs.

I live in Boca, have a wife and…See More
