In a tight labor market, you can't always hire superstars. But you can develop them! The only book for the Back of the House shows you how.

When I was in college, I told my writing professor I was thinking about dropping out to go to culinary school. She asked me, "Why play with food when you can play with words?" @Bourdain showed me I could do both.

The best storyteller of the kitchen. And I could watch him sit down to eat with strangers a thousand times.

@kimbal The best storyteller of the kitchen. Devastating.

If something is holding you back from moving up in the kitchen but you're not sure what it is, you might find some answers in the only book for the back-of-the-house.

Listen when someone gives you feedback. You can improve your future or battle the past. Feedback is shared to help us get better. Don’t go on defense.

Thrilled to contribute another article to Restaurant Inc. magazine from @Reinhart_Corp!

"Want to get the family feeling back? Turn that culture around in no time by reconnecting with your #boh team."

Cooks and chefs: let's make progress on your career (and finances) this year!
The next raise or promotion goes to the person who stands out from everyone else in the #boh. It's easy to do, and The Renegade Cook tells you how.

Cooks who still kick butt when it’s slow have integrity – they don’t change their behavior when nobody’s looking. They don’t take their foot off the gas when it’s slow. They don’t treat people differently from shift to shift. They’re predictable, and trustworthy. #boh

@dhmeyer I'm working on the second edition and focusing the message, especially FOH/BOH relationship. If you have any feedback, please DM! Thank you!

[The Renegade Cook @BeARenegadeCook]

Cheers to a great presentation Monday in Colorado @dhmeyer - enjoy the book!

Want to change everything at work? Be the nicest person in the kitchen. When people like working with you, it gets noticed.

Renegade Cooks are never victims of their shifts. They are masters of it. No surprises because they plan ahead.
