FANDANGO Catering's Executive Chef Jesús Lumbreras-Calvo announces that as of Summer 2010 his company will only use chefs and event staff with culinary school training.
A graduate of the prestigious Scottsdale Culinary Institute in Scottsdale, AZ, Chef Jesús believes that only a culinary school training and the drive and passion that lead people to attend culinary schools produce the kind of chefs that can work successfully to create great catering and events.
"We want people who are passionate about food and who understand the classic French method of training that is the basis for all the good U.S. and European culinary schools." As Chef Jesús points out, with chefs with a culinary school training, it's not necessary to explain terminology, methods, or procedures to them; they already have been trained in the classic French culinary methods and are prepared for anything he asks of them.
FANDANGO Catering has hired several LeNotre Culinary School graduates this year and continues to work with LeNotre for its staffing and event needs since it is the only Houston culinary school based on the classic French system and run by French chefs. "Our LeNotre grads have the kind of passion and desire for culinary excellence every day, every event that we look for. Since I am European, I know that they are getting an excellent training in the classic French methods because the LeNotres and their master chefs at the school took their training in Europe."
