There are over 11 million workers in the restaurant industry, and the only voices heard are those deemed worthy by popular media.

With millions of these undiscovered, unrecognized, untapped potential leaders, that might currently be a line cook in Kansas City, a dishwasher in Denver, a bartender in Chicago, a server in Boston; if we invest in them, these are the people will be the foundation of success in five years, ten years, fifty years.

These professionals want to work with people and companies who they trust and who believe in them; and most companies are just trying to make the sale.  The companies that recognize this reality are going to thrive.

There have been historically great successes when looking at undiscovered, unrecognized, untapped groups to feed new ideas.

• Food Network launched in 1993 when no one was into food outside of the industry.  Food Network is now in 98% of American households with cable television and is international in reach

• Mike Rowe of Dirty Jobs fame created national interest in “everyday jobs.”

• When the TV show LA Law ran it created such interest in law as a profession that law school applications jumped 25%
