Chef Chris Koetke HeadshotOur very first CAFÉ Talks Podcast was launched on June 30, 2020 and to date we have produced 97 episodes and have had almost 19,000 unique downloads. Our host, Paul Sorgule has spearheaded this podcast and has done a wonderful job. He has interviewed some of the most influential people in education, culinary classrooms, the foodservice industry, leadership, innovation, culinary history, and management – there is something for everyone to relish and use. 

Have you thought about integrating the CAFÉ Talks Podcast into your student curriculum for an assignment? Have you thought "I really wish I could remember which podcast pertained to a certain subject?"

CAFÉ Mission: “To link the foodservice industry with the foodservice classroom.”

This is exactly what CAFÉ Talks Podcast strives to accomplish. Paul Sorgule, has created an organized chart that demonstrates where each interview might apply in your classrooms as assignments or a point of reference for faculty.

We could not have produced this podcast series if it wasn't for our sponsors who we thank very much for their continued support of CAFÉ.
