    Story #059 - Dennis Littley
    Feb 24 2022
    Chef Dennis Littley started cooking at a very early age and drew his early inspiration from Graham Kerr, the Galloping Gourmet. After completing his training as a chef’s apprentice, he went on to work at white tablecloth restaurants, in corporate executive dining, and finally at an all-girls Catholic high school. After 3 years at the school, he created a Culinary Training Program that brought acclaim to the school and was used as a model for other schools around the country via the foodservice company he worked for.After retiring from professional cooking, Dennis became a food blogger, where he would become known as Chef Dennis by his fans and readers worldwide. He has expanded that content creator role into a food & travel blogger, a chef speaker, a brand ambassador, and a digital strategist. This past year his blog had over 8.5 million page views with over one million followers on social media. A native Texan who lived most of his life in the Philadelphia area, Chef Dennis now resides in Kissimmee, Florida with his wife Lisa. He credits an old family friend Mama Jeanette with teaching him his core values and how to listen to food. His goal is to share his recipes and the best cooking tips to make his listeners feel more comfortable in their own kitchens and to help them find the joy of cooking!CULINARY SCHOOL AFFILIATION: Culinary Apprenticeship, Culinary EducatorWebsite – https://www.askchefdennis.comEmail – dennis@askchefdennis.comInstagram – http://www.instagram.com/askchefdennis Sign up for the Food Media Network newsletter & email list: https://foodmedianetwork.com/contactFree Culinary School Stories Recipe eBook: https://bit.ly/culinaryschoolrecipesElite Personal Chef: https://www.stephanieheller.com RATINGS / REVIEW: If you enjoy this episode or the podcast overall, please consider leaving a short review and ratings on Apple Podcasts / iTunes if you have an iPhone or iPad.

    Story #053 - John-Michael Collins
    Oct 23 2021
    Chef John-Michael Collins was born in San Diego, CA and from his earliest memories growing up he can remember a life full of abuse, including physical, mental, and sexual. John-Michael tried to end his life at the age of 10 though thankfully his grandparents stepped in to rescue him from the foster system. Due to this traumatic upbringing, he never believed in himself, nor though he deserved anything good, which he believes is what set him up to make a lot of bad choices throughout the early parts of his life.These bad choices are what eventually caused him to end up in Federal Lockup for several years. While incarcerated, John-Michael ended up in the kitchen, starting in the dish room. However, he was a fast learner and quickly moved up the ranks to become the number two cook and the person who prepared the food for the officer’s mess dining room.Once released, he found himself at a halfway house in Washington, DC with suggestions to seek out and apply for formal culinary training at the DC Central Kitchen (DCCK). He eventually applied, was accepted, and ended up graduating. After completing his training, he accepted a multi-week internship at The Ritz-Carlton, Pentagon City, which eventually turned into full-time employment.Chef Collins still currently works for the Ritz Carlton as a cook one but is looking forward to the next step in his culinary journey as he applies for various sous chef positions within the Marriott Company. However, an even more important goal for John-Michael is to become a beacon of hope for those coming behind him, and to continue to give back to his community by bringing people together through the avenue of food.CULINARY SCHOOL AFFILIATION: DC Central Kitchen, Washington, DCEmail – jmcollinsdc@icloud.comFacebook – https://www.facebook.com/johnmichael.collins.940LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-michael-collins-61627a172/DC Central Kitchen – DC Central Kitchen“Pineapple Academy" FREE Trial & Course Information Link - https://my.pineappleacademy.com/signup/business/?referral_id=H6UQTHIBPL6KT68FSign up for the Food Media Network email list / newsletter - https://foodmedianetwork.com/contactFree Culinary School Stories Recipe eBook: https://bit.ly/culinaryschoolrecipes“Introduction to Podcasting for the Hospitality Professional” course - https://foodmedianetwork.com/courses/RATINGS / REVIEW: If you enjoy this episode or the podcast overall, please consider leaving a short review and ratings on Apple Podcasts / iTunes if you have an iPhone or iPad.
