On the road: Restaurants in Chicago, IL and Oxford, MS shine in MenuMasters Spotlight LEARNING FROM OTHERS: INNOVATION, INSIGHT, AND IDEAS FROM INDUSTRY LEADERS
If you checked in with Served in July, you’ll remember that we brought you Chook - A small fast-casual chain in Denver, Colorado. This month we are excited to share the third and fourth installments of content captured from the partnership between Nation’s Restaurant News , and Ventura Foods - The MenuMasters Spotlight Series . The NxtGen Network team had the honor of playing a part in the telling these stories and it’s a privilege to share the end product with our community. The first chef we are highlighting is Beverly Kim , Chef-owner of Parachute restaurant in Chicago, Illinois. Chef Kim is no stranger to the spotlight as a James Beard award-winning chef, non-profit founder, and a wife and mother. This quaint yet refined restaurant has a laid-back vibe with brick walls adorned with vintage records and old radios. From the staff to the decor you’ll feel like your having an dinner and drinks with a high-school friend and reminising about simpler times. The next chef is chef-owner to a fast-growing restaurant chain, Big Bad Breakfast , with it’s flagship location in Oxford, MS. Chef John Currence finds joy in feeding his community with delicious breakfast items and even caters menu items to trending local foods near his locations. When you go, make sure to find the clown painting... there’s one in every restaurant! Thank you to Nation’s Restaurant News and Ventura Foods for creating this opportunity for us to share insights from the commercial restaurant industry to our educational foodservice community. Stay tuned for more on this series as they continue to release conversations with chefs from around the country.
