What is the New Kitchen Culture Promise and How Can You Support It?

Cooks Who Care

Working to foster positive change, Philadelphia (USA)-based Cooks Who Care , a US-based organization dedicated to supporting the health and wellness of the Food and Beverage Industry, just launched its New Kitchen Culture Promise Campaign. Led by Chef Maria Campbell , the campaign’s goal is to create happier, healthier, safer and more inclusive restaurant workplaces for all. 

After working closely with a team of advisors – 40 industry leaders from around the world – the Cooks Who Care team identified nine Problem Patterns that are common in kitchens across the globe. They have also created a list of steps that businesses can take to begin to address these problems and communicate with their teams, starting tomorrow. Food establishments are invited to select three Problem Patterns that are relevant to their kitchens and to share how they are already addressing these issues or how they plan to start doing so. Cooks Who Care will then use their social platforms to share the stories of people who are committing to make positive change.

“We want to highlight businesses that are leading by example,” says Chef Campbell. “Our industry needs to change and it needs inspiration that change is possible. We want to share stories of people and places that are making the Food Industry better for everyone. It can be done, if we work together.”

In this episode number 67 of The Business of Food Travel podcast, we speak with Rico Mandel. In 2001, when the dotcom bubble burst and then September 11 hit, Rico's marketing business collapsed. After some soul searching, he decided to enroll in culinary school, an experience that changed his life. He worked in restaurants and catering, while building his contact networks and continuing marketing work in the hospitality industry. This eventually led him to create Miz En Place, an ecommerce platform that delves into the world of gastronomy through artisanal food and beverage products, experiences, and stories.
