🎤 Speaking at the ProStart Career Expo
On Tuesday, March 5, I’ll be a featured guest speaker at the Colorado Restaurant Association ProStart Career Expo. This event is all about connecting young people with careers in the culinary and hospitality industries. My talk will focus on knife care and maintenance—because no matter how talented a chef is, their knife is the most important tool in the kitchen.
I’ll be sharing tips on keeping knives sharp, choosing the right blade, and how proper care extends the life of quality knives. If you’re a young chef or know someone interested in a career in the culinary world, this is a great event to attend!
