Bon Appétit Management Company

It's the last day of #chefappreciationweek, in which we're celebrating some of our #HeroesBehindTheFood. David Smigo, @bonappetit_cornell executive chef, is “the hardest working human I’ve ever met,” says General Manager James Richards. “He’s a culinary Mozart, and he’s also always polite and kind; he treats everyone with dignity and respect. When Dave is around, the wake is straight, the trains run on time, and the team is efficient and engaged.” Dave and James fed @cornellcollege students on campus until mid-June, earning Cornell’s Purple Rock Award for their efforts. Then they took care of students and repair teams in the aftermath of the derecho windstorm that ripped power and supply lines to the college — and all over Iowa. Now more than ever, “it is so important to make people feel at home, to inquire about their individual preferences and provide a positive memorable experience,” says Dave. “We must create purposefully, with the intent to provide complete nutrition.” Read more about Dave via 🔗 in bio! ...

San Francisco autonomous vehicle technology startup @Cruise has been working round the clock to support COVID-19 relief efforts, delivering donated meals and groceries to some of the city’s most vulnerable populations.

It’s #ChefAppreciationWeek, and we’re celebrating some of our army of #HeroesBehindTheFood! When the pandemic started, Executive Chef Alex Drumm and a small Bon Appétit @emersondining team continued to feed students, faculty, and staff (including the @emersoncollege President’s Office) who had to stay on campus, every day. They also served breakfast, lunch and dinner to 20 young adults in a homeless youth program, Bridge Over Troubled Waters. “Several parents have reached out to us and expressed how much they appreciate how Alex works with their students. He provides them not just with healthy, delicious, and safe food on a daily basis, but he also takes the time to get to know them,” says General Manager Dawn Sajdyk. “That intentionality especially comes through with how he interacts with our own team members. Alex is something special.” Read more about Alex via 🔗 in bio! ...
