Welcome to Best Served, a podcast about Unsung Hospitality Heroes
Jensen Cummings is a fifth-generation award-wining Chef, Public Speaker and Restaurant Industry Strategist based in Denver, CO. He is the host of Best Served Podcast and Restaurant Idea Factory.
He is committed to reflecting on his own culpability in the status quo of the industry, to reimagining restaurant culture, investing in our unsung hospitality heroes and building a better mode, what he calls a Workplace Worth Working.
He began his career at 17 years old as a dishwasher. He spent the last twenty-plus years working across the industry from cook to server to bartender, Cicerone, Fermentationist, General Manager, Owner, Consultant, Podcast host, even kitchen burnout.
Now, Cummings is innovating F&B models with his three hospitality focused businesses, Workplace Worth Working development: Best Served Creative, new restaurant consulting firm: Angry Olive Consulting, and media and event production company: Fortune Cookie Concepts.
His company mission is to amplify the worth and work of those who feed their community. His personal focus now is to empower and educate future leaders of the industry and leave it better than he found it, for his children to have an opportunity to become the sixth-generation of the family to be of service.
