In this interview with Professor Brian Connors of Florida
International University, some of
the topics we discuss include:
His travels through the world of hospitality
and education, including stints at Cornell, and Johnson & Wales,
time spent in Ireland and at Michelin star restaurants in France,
and even a little bit of chef work on private yachts.
How Brian thinks about generalists and
specialists in the hospitality space and what you can do to apply
your unique skill set to a bar or restaurant career.
What Florida International University and
Bacardi are doing to explore the new face of hospitality during a
pandemic and prepare the next generation of chefs, bartenders, and
managers for the challenges they’ll face moving
forward.
Why Bar Project 2021 took a page out of the
tech industry’s playbook by incorporating a sort of hospitality
hackathon into their program.
Where Brian and I think the industry is headed
as we continue our march into 2021 and beyond.
