James Beard Foundation Impact on Culinary Education

CAFE is happy to be working with the James Beard Foundation at this year’s Leadership Conference, June 14-16, 2018.

The Foundation has been working diligently for the past year on developing curriculum which would become a part of culinary arts programs throughout the country. Their mission: to reduce restaurant waste.

Attendees at the conference will have the ability to take a hands-on class with Jon Deutsch from Drexel University who will discuss and demonstrate ways to reduce waste in the kitchen.

There will also be a panel discussion about the curriculum and how attendees can be a part of this movement on our Educational Best Practices Day.

And there will be a showing of the movie “Wasted” starring Anthony Bourdain on Friday “Happy Hour” after the day’s programming on trends.
