This program was sponsored by The International Culinary Center. “I have the best food job in the world!” [12:00] “For PR purposes it’s all about relationships and working at the Beard house is no different. There’s an opportunity — and lots of chefs would love that opportunity. The criteria I use is to look at a chefs biography and see where they’re working. I consider any press they receive, to see how it would be positioned in the community. I also keep in mind that the role of the Beard House is not to showcase chefs critically – it’s more about whether or not they can pull off a meal for 80 people with 5 courses.” [21:00] –Izabela Wojcik on All in the Industry
