 Defining yourself
Interesting thoughts.....how do you define yourself?
When I managed farmers market, essentially I was the voice of the market....when chairing a group, again I spoke for the group....not necessarily my personal opinion.
Recently a local leader of a national food group has taken to "critiquing"restaurants and chefs many times harshly and playing very select favorites with the hip popular 5......leaving all the stalwarts that have been around for many years in the dust. His blog/forum (also has links and at one point threads about his organization) in my mind not only reflect him but the organization......as he is the voice for the local chapter. He thinks differently and says his opinions are just that, his own.
One of the chefs I've recently talked to says that as exec chef he represents the restaurant......I can see that, his public face is not his own.
