Chef's Studio
Chef's Studio brings together the media and the top professional chef's to showcase their talents, and hear their views on curent and future trends in food service and hospitality. Created in 1995 to develop media and Promotional skills for culinary professionals and establishments Chef's Studio has become known aound the world for showcasing the talents and expertise of top chefs, and upcoming chefs. Chef's TV and Chef's Radio were created in 2003 in Washington, DC. Looking for a better, and lower cost location they, and Chef's Studio moved out of The National Press Building, to the banks of the Chesapeake Bay, on the Eastern Shore. We saw the future of television moving away from broadcast, and towards an interactive experience on screen sizes we laughed at years ago. Soon food lovers will be able to plug in their iPod and become immersed in a gastronomic experience, be it in their kitchens, or at a restaurant. But as we worked to create a sustainable plan we realized that many of our audience were spread around the world, and were looking for a more professional program feed than available on broadcast TV. |
Philly Chef's Studio Closes
July 1st, 2008 -- I have to admit that Philadelphia was a disappointment and despite the hard sell for businesses to move there, the end product just doesn't make the grade. Very much like their signature dish, The Philly Cheesesteak. We will miss the Reading Terminal Market, and the outstanding fresh food, but not the crammed aisles when the conventions dump their attendees there for lunch, at the same time the Catholic tours drop off all theirs. There are some good restaurants in Philly, and as you weave through the homeless begging on the street, and try and avoid being shot, or robbed the city can be quite friendly, but certainly not business friendly. The corrupt City Hall and the all powerful Unions make sure of the eventual decline, and death of this once great City. But saying that the logistics of opening in Orlando were just too expensive, and so we listened to the sales pitches and gave Philadelphia a try. On the positive side we learned a lot about franchising Chef's Studio and where the pitfalls were when trying to operate in an old Rust Belt environment. The Philadelphia Experiment will help us develop Chef's TV and Chef's Radio, but in a cost effective location.
