Culinary Advisor
— Jeff Slough ~ The Tired Chef —
Boasting over 45 years as an Executive Chef, I've dedicated my career to the unique demands of country club dining. My extensive experience allows me to bridge the gap between member preferences and club requirements, focusing on areas like effective food cost management, maintaining high-quality standards, and promoting employee retention. Let's discuss how we can elevate your club's dining experience while meeting operational goals.
