Episode Details

Chefs are the “Heart” of the Heart of the House. They run our kitchens, nurture, and develop the skills of prep and line cooks, and most important create and deliver the cuisines that bring guests to our restaurants. In this episode of the Restaurant Rockstars Podcast, I’m speaking with Brandon Boudet, Co-owner and Executive Chef of Little Dom’s of Los Angeles and the new Little Dom’s Seafood in Carpenteria. Listen on as Brandon shares: - Bringing his New Orleans roots and cooking inspirations to one of the world’s most competitive restaurant markets - The importance of leadership style and his training philosophies - Skillsets and personality traits of the best staff - Creating ways of coping with labor challenges - Best advice for operators now moving forward And of course, the pivots. Chef Brandon shares the impact of Little Dom’s streetside “Deep Fried Turkey Feasts” on Thanksgiving and the success of selling market and retail items to satisfied guests. Don’t miss this. ROCK On!
