The restaurant industry is one of the few places in America where workers from lower-class backgrounds can rise to positions of power and prestige.

At the Table
The Chef's Guide to Advocacy
Price:
CA$39.95
ISBN: 9781642832372
Pub Date: September 2023
Imprint: Island Press
When Katherine Miller was first asked to train chefs to be advocates, she thought the idea was ludicrous. This was a group known for short tempers and tattoos, not for saving the world. But she quickly learned that chefs and other leaders in the restaurant industry are some of the most powerful forces for change in our troubled food system. Chefs are leading hunger relief efforts, supporting local farmers, fighting food waste, confronting racism and sexism in the industry, and much more.
In At the Table, Miller presents the essential techniques she developed for the James Beard Foundation's Chefs Boot Camp for Policy and Change. Readers will learn how to focus their philanthropic efforts; pinpoint their audience and develop their argument; recruit allies and support action; and maybe most importantly, grab people's attention in a crowded media landscape. You don't have to be a celebrity chef to change...
