This week, I am joined by Gardy Desrouleaux, the Owner and Managing Partner of Craft Food Halls. Craft Food Halls prides itself on the Attraction Formula that goes well beyond simple dining. Craft Food Halls is a place where differences fall away through intention, dedication, and innovation, and a love for good food, good drinks, and even greater conversation thrives.
During our conversation, Gardy shares the art of sous vide cooking, putting people first, and his passion for hospitality. By extending kindness to everyone he meets and injecting positivity into his ecosystem, Gardy shares that he can never retire from his true calling because there are so many people to help along the way.
Through Gardy's infectious positivity and friendliness, it is evident that Gardy encourages those around him to think better, feel better, and do better. We also discuss the importance of reprogramming and reframing your mindset, how to view challenges as opportunities for growth and innovation, and the power of mentorship.
Topics Discussed:
- The importance of cultivating strong relationships
- Perfecting the “art” and “craft” behind your calling
- Balancing flavor profiles through the “sous vide” technique
- How covid-19 created space for innovation & strategic growth
