Do chefs or restaurants get The MICHELIN Guide stars? Do Michelin stars transfer with chefs to new restaurants if they leave, and do restaurants lose stars if a new chef takes over? They're all valid questions and there's often confusion over the right answers.

🍴 A Dash of History: The Birth of the Brigade System 🍽️ Ever wonder how restaurant kitchens operate so smoothly under pressure? Thank the Brigade System, a revolutionary kitchen organization method devised by the legendary French chef Georges Auguste Escoffier in the early 20th century. This system divides the kitchen into specialized stations or "brigades," each led by a station chef, ensuring efficiency, speed, and culinary excellence. 🔥 Culinary Efficiency Redefined - From the saucier to the patissier, each member plays a crucial role, akin to a well-oiled machine. 👨🍳 Legacy of a Legend - Escoffier's innovation transformed chaotic kitchens into orchestras of gastronomy, influencing how restaurants operate worldwide to this day. This slice of culinary history not only highlights the importance of teamwork but also the enduring impact of a single visionary on the global dining experience. #CulinaryHistory #BrigadeSystem #EscoffierLegacy #KitchenInnovation

Recently, I had the privilege of sitting down with Jaime Delgado for a podcast interview, whose journey resonated deeply with me. Alongside his family, he founded and built Adela's Italian Restaurant. His story of starting from scratch and tirelessly working to create a successful restaurant mirrored my journey of establishing a branding and media company that helps others share their stories and create lasting value. Telling Jaime's story—and the stories of other local businesses—is exactly why we do this. It's why Jacquelyn Underwood and I co-founded Arizona Ascent Magazine. Our mission is not just critical; it's transformative: to empower, educate, and activate the communities of Arizona by sharing the journeys of real people building something extraordinary. Your support, your patronage of local businesses like Adela's, is crucial in making this impact. At Arizona Ascent, empowerment begins with knowledge. Every issue provides tools to help homeowners, investors, and local businesses navigate the complexities of real estate and business in Arizona. We go beyond the surface, giving deep insights into the factors shaping our communities. Since its inception in October 2014, Adela's has become a beloved staple, not just part of Arcadia's vibrant restaurant scene. In our latest issue of Arizona Ascent, we dive deep into the three unique strategies that helped Jaime and his family carve a niche in an industry where many struggle. Check out the complete article and podcast interview to discover how Jaime and his family have shaped Arizona's culinary landscape.
