When Katherine Miller was first asked to train chefs to be
advocates, she thought the idea was ludicrous. This was a group
known for short tempers and tattoos, not for saving the world. But
she quickly learned that chefs and other leaders in the restaurant
industry are some of the most powerful forces for change in our
troubled food system. Chefs are leading hunger relief efforts,
supporting local farmers, fighting food waste, confronting racism
and sexism in the industry, and much more. In At the Table, Miller
shares the essential techniques she developed for the James Beard
Foundation’s Chefs Boot Camp for Policy and Change. Readers will
learn how to focus their philanthropic efforts; pinpoint their
audience and develop their argument; recruit allies and support
action; and maybe most importantly, grab people’s attention in a
crowded media landscape. Miller also shares the moving stories of
chefs who used these skills to create lasting change. Tom Collichio
became one of the world’s most respected voices on ending hunger.
Bakers Against Racism recruited more than 3,000 people to
participate their global bake sales. Chefs from around the country
pushed Congress to provide financial relief to the restaurant
industry at the height of the Covid pandemic. At the Table is
filled with inspiration for anyone who has ever wanted to make a
difference outside the four walls of their restaurant. And most
importantly, it offers proven methods to become a successful
advocate. You don’t have to be a celebrity chef to change the
food system; you just need the will and the tools in this unique
guide.
