ALWAYS LEARNING

Chef Gage has built a culture of growth, championing internal promotions and launching an annual Culinary Boot Camp that brings hands-on training to hourly teams. He’s deeply committed to mentoring. In fact, new chefs call his campus the “gold standard.”

A DESIRE TO INSPIRE

Chef leads with the heart of a teacher, showing up every day to serve both his team and his guests. He employs 500+ student workers, most of whom are international students. Creating culturally rich dining experiences, he makes students feel seen, connected and at home.

THE SECRET SAUCE

Gage focuses on building relationships, community and lasting impact. Here’s an example: What began as packaged meals for one team on campus grew into a customized Training Table program that serves made-to-order meals cooked right in front of more than 450 athletes.
