I have a great family of cooks and chefs-my son and daughter in law are chefs, and my other kids are fantastic cooks and bakers, and my husband is also a great breadsmith...just got to love it. Love baking, cooking, reading, anything ocean, mountain or river related. I am a teacher, mentor, and friend to many in the industry. I tell it as I see it. I like to work hard, play fair and don't put up with bullshit.
I hope your Thanksgiving was good, and that the rest of the Holidays treat you well. We're gearing up for the start of our winter season; the next two weeks are busy with holiday parties, then opening and training at Mammoth and Old Faithful Snow Lodge.
We've got a couple of chefs here who are starting to pursue certification. From our conversations during your visit here, we'd like to talk about coming to Oregon to work on practicals. We'd like to discuss time between our winter and summer seasons, toward the end of March and beginning of April. If there's any time frame along those lines that would work for you and the school there, we'd love to hear about it, and start making travel plans and practice plans. We appreciate any help you and your chefs there can provide for us. Let me know...
Happy Holidays to all of our friends in Oregon. Mike Dean
Chef Tina,
Congratulations on your CEPC, and thanks so much for all of your advice and wisdom during your visit to Yellowstone to check our Apprentice program. I hope you enjoyed your visit to the park, and we appreciate the offers of assistance with our program and certifications of our chefs. As I said during our meeting, I think the greatest benefit for our chefs is to hear a consistent message about ACF, certification, and professionalism from someone other than me or Chef Chapman! Thanks again for everything, and we'll have to keep in touch. Chef Mike Dean.
Hi back Tina , sure miss our dinners and talk. I wish I could have put in for one of the spots on the team but I just can't right now. I am glad the school is doing great I knew it would. I will come visit soon I promise. Take care and say hello to all.
