    I had the sincere pleasure of working with Chef Marcus Samuelsson at the Minneapolis location of Aquavit (closed 20 years ago) His nurturing management style was instrumental in making me the chef I am today. I can clearly see his style, influence, techniques and family style teambuilding in the eyes of the incredibly talented Chef Fariyal.

The breakdown of stations, roles, logisitics, cost managment, diversity in teams, uniform and morale, and joyful communication with each of the staff members was refreshing. It reminded me a little of my time working at Disney before returning back to New Orleans, but even more natural. She definitely could have her own show, personality, look and insight of DEI leadership in high end culinary in major cities; I loved it!
