Internationally celebrated Chef Jet Tila has made a name for himself in the food & beverage industry. The immigrant son turned Food Network success is set to deliver a keynote at Bar & Restaurant Expo that will offer first-hand insight on his journey, trending topics, and strategies for ensuring ease when it comes to introducing new menu items. The keynote titled, "From Rags to Dishes: 5 Lessons in Leadership and Success," will be held on Tuesday, March 28 from 11 am–11: 45 am.
Chef Tila recently sat down with Millennial Magazine to discuss his inspiring story as well as to share valuable insights on current food & beverage trends and restaurant best practices.
Millennial Magazine: What are your thoughts on the current food and beverage trends, and where do you think the industry is heading next?
Chef Jet Tila: Overall, international food/ethnic/global cuisine aren’t foreign any longer. With Gen Z and younger, these are the foods they want to eat every day, heck we all do! So, we must reshape the delineation of cuisines. Ready-to-drink (RTD) beverages, especially wine/cocktails/spirits, will continue to dominate. Fancier suburban food because I see city people migrating to the burbs.
What is the best advice you can give someone who wants to open a restaurant in 2023?
Check yourself before you wreck yourself…really do your homework…write an airtight B plan and have people you trust poke holes in it.
