Over the course of 18 months, participants attend four intense, three-day sessions that incorporate lectures from certified master chefs, roundtable discussions, homework assignments, field trips and in-kitchen work. Tuition for the program is sponsored by Hormel Foods. For more information, visit www.ceipinfo.com.

ABOUT THIS BLOG
Why a blog? There has been no easy way for those of us "in the business" to express opinions and ideas about running restaurant chains. While "blogging" is a new experience for me, sharing my thoughts on the restaurant industry certainly is not! (As those of you who know me are aware!) I invite you to ask questions and add your own observations. I'll try to respond at least once a week, if not more. Lastly, my thanks to WD Partners for supporting my desire to do this. Dennis
