Hello fellow CPBS lovers! I wanted to step out of the kitchen for a moment and brag on my staff just a little.
Over the past couple of years, we tried to partner with our Hospitality, Restaurant, and Tourism Management Department with small (but awesome) success. The HRTM program is fairly new to the UNL system leaving the pool of candidates petite in number but growing rapidly. We decided that we would try again this year, since we had let it rest for a year.
Our partnership with our HRTM program did not disappoint! I had an amazing staff consisting of three HRTM students, one friend of a student, an HRTM grad from a different university, and a dietetics major from yet another university. Everyone of them was unique in education, tastes, and styles creating a kitchen that was never dull. One found a love of garlic (hehe). One decided that they didn't want to go back to their old job because it would be too boring (because everyday here is very different... kinda like a grab bag). One made authentic Italian food that was to die for. One learned a ton of kitchen skills totally applicable to cooking at home.
All of them, however, gained a lot of confidence and rightfully so. There is a very steep learning curve in a kitchen that is only open for 3-4 months out of the year, and I expected a lot out of them. They flew over that curve with no trouble and were amazing people on top of that. I'm excited and worried about next year... They've set the bar pretty darn high.
