Presented by James Hudock, Executive Chef, Gibson Island (Md.) Club Many, if not all, professional kitchens are operating with the same manual systems (notebooks, checklists, post-it notes) used since the beginning of time. The pain points from these inefficiencies and the resulting confusion or even chaos they can cause have not changed over the years: poor food quality and service and unsatisfied members and guests, and on the personal side, challenges with relationships, health stress, substance abuse, and overall missed moments with friends and family. During the 2020 Chef to Chef Conference, James Hudock, Executive Chef of Gibson Island Club, will demonstrate a proven technique for streamlining kitchen operations—and reducing stress and miscommunication for all members of the culinary team, while also improving delivery and performance for F&B programs—through a digitally based system for managing workflow.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1576774350843{margin-top: -2px !important;margin-bottom: -2px !important;border-top-width: 1px !important;border-right-width: 1px !important;border-bottom-width: 1px !important;border-left-width: 1px !important;padding-top: 10px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;padding-left: 46px !important;background-color: #f9f9f9 !important;border-left-color: #efefef !important;border-left-style: solid !important;border-right-color: #efefef !important;border-right-style: solid !important;border-top-color: #efefef !important;border-top-style: solid !important;border-bottom-color: #efefef !important;border-bottom-style: solid !important;}”]

1:00 – 1:45 PM: Session 9 (with cooking demo): Play with Your Food: A Fun Approach to Casual and Fine Dining

Presented by James Allen, CEC, Executive Chef, Blackthorn Club, Jonesborough, Tenn. “As chefs, we know how to make everything from a club sandwich to poke to seared foie gras with a blueberry-rosemary gastrique,” says Chef Allen. “But do we know how to engage our membership to keep them coming back to our place, when there are so many choices around our towns? Or to keep them coming back to our club when they have multiple memberships across the country, too?” “During my presentation, I plan to offer ideas and dishes that chefs can take back home to add new appeal to their menus and new fun to their events, too.”[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1582557553225{margin-top: -2px !important;margin-bottom: -2px !important;border-top-width: 1px !important;border-right-width: 1px !important;border-bottom-width: 1px !important;border-left-width: 1px !important;padding-top: 10px !important;padding-right: 10px !important;padding-bottom: 70px !important;padding-left: 46px !important;background-color: #f9f9f9 !important;border-left-color: #efefef !important;border-left-style: solid !important;border-right-color: #efefef !important;border-right-style: solid !important;border-top-color: #efefef !important;border-top-style: solid !important;border-bottom-color: #efefef !important;border-bottom-style: solid !important;}”]
