Episode notes
In this episode of Burnt Woman, I chat with Gabrielle Smith. Personally, I love hearing about other cultures and grand adventures of moving to new places, so I loved hearing about Chef Gabrielle's experiences moving from the U.S. to Norway, back to the U.S., and then going from fine dining kitchens to a country club, and then male-dominated kitchens to female-dominated kitchens. Talk about cultural shocks!
And, whether you've been in the industry 10 days or 10 years, she's got some great advice for you and your career.
