The work we are engaged in impacts the entire gamut of issues we face every day as operators of successful restaurants & hotels: from operations to marketing, from new construction to turnarounds and from executives and owners to managers and staff. Our work also spans across the multitude of segments from food trucks to QSRs's, from full-service to corporate foodservice and from hotel food and beverage to catering.

Relais Chateaux – #Travel Tuesday

Travel reviews that include phrases like God’s favorite hotel, Tranquility after the battle, and Out of a novel, make us pretty sure that a sabbatical from our daily lives may soon be in order.  More than 500 charming hotels in 60 countries (including North American destinations!) means that thanks to this recommendation from @Butterflydiary, we … Continue reading »

World’s Largest Stained Glass Ceiling – #Travel Tuesday

The largest stained glass ceiling in the world is in Melbourne, Australia, at The National Gallery of Victoria, which attests to the fact that Melbourne is a destination worth visiting.  Culinary buffs will enjoy a meal in the famous Collins Kitchen where the open kitchen concept lets you get up close and personal with superstar … Continue reading »

My Local Corfu – #TravelTuesday

Imagine the scene…an out of the way, multi-terraced restaurant perched on a cliff hundreds of feet high overlooking a bright blue body of water on which boats dart and swimmers frolic. A cool breeze gently moves the many colorful umbrellas as tourists sip refreshing native libations while they take in a spectacular sunset and nosh … Continue reading »

Pita Maha Resort, Bali – #Travel Tuesday

A prayer:  May we Eat, Pray & Love at the Pita Maha in Bali (http://bit.ly/kdZnZz), and please dear Lord, may Javier Bardem be nursing a broken heart in a villa nearby.  Pack your mala beads and head for the sophisticated perfection of these secluded villas overlooking the Tjampuhan valley.  The spiritual path has been a … Continue reading »

Claridges Mayfair Hotel, London – #TravelTuesday

We’ve been following @Gordonsguide on Twitter for a long time, so it’s easy to trust his recommendation of Claridges Mayfair Hotel, London.  This uber-sexy, art deco gem, made Condé Nast Traveller’s Gold List in 2010.  It’s everything a great hotel should be and a long-weekend there is enough to temporarily recover from the disappointing world … Continue reading »

Park Hyatt, Buenos Aires – #TravelTuesday

Were it not for our friend, @ThePointsGuy, we might never have come back from the Palmilla, but the Park Hyatt, Buenos Aires (http://bit.ly/dH5Fwc) is an excellent recommendation.  A trip here is about stepping back to a time filled with vibrant architecture, romantic décor and graceful elegance.  It’s eclectic Buenos Aires, and if you haven’t been … Continue reading »

One & Only Palmilla, Los Cabos – #TravelTuesday

The one & only Palmilla, Los Cabos, is recommended by @CaboJulie, and from the looks of it, we’d have to say she knows her stuff.  It’s hard to argue from our hammock which is tied above the place where the Pacific Ocean meets the Sea of Cortez.  We’d describe the endless list of special touches, … Continue reading »
