Eric Ledezma joined our team right out of high school, from a job at McDonalds. He has always shown dedication to doing a job well done, and in the past year and a half went from server staff, to dishroom staff, and finally into food prep and our Culinary Tech position. He has helped us operate as a Green Team with an eye on cutting energy use and saving food waste. Last fall, when we had a shortfall in the Production Line, Chef Caitlin began to coach and mentor him into a Cook/Supervisor--and this week, in her absence, he took initiative and ran with it for our Ladies Service Board Luncheon. To date, every one of our Cooks has come from within the ranks of our servers: And through coaching, mentoring, and Chef-to-Chef moments; has excelled.
