Foodservice Education

Over the past several days, I’ve been fully locked in—creating late into the night, often until 3:00 a.m., after finishing my full-time workday.

My focus has been on making meaningful changes to Foodservice Education and expanding into the subjects I’m most passionate about passing down to the next generation of foodservice professionals.

In just a few days, more than 80 new videos have been uploaded, along with a major redesign of the channel and several updates to how our content is organized, presented, and packaged. The goal behind all of it is simple: make the education easier to find, easier to navigate, and capable of reaching more people across the industry.

At this point, I need to give myself a mental reset, so I’ll be taking the rest of the week away from creating.

I hope you take some time this weekend to explore the channel, check out the new videos, and look through all of the changes that have been made.

Thank you for continuing to watch, learn, support, and grow with Foodservice Education.

Enjoy your weekend. I’ll be back refreshed and ready for what’s next.

Several new videos are currently in development, but this one is especially important.
Understanding how contamination actually occurs in a foodservice operation is one of the most valuable lessons we can teach. This video breaks down the everyday actions and mistakes that can lead to contamination—so you can recognize the risks, understand why they matter, and most importantly, learn what not to do in the workplace.

Food safety starts with awareness. The more you understand the risk, the better prepared you are to prevent it.

Foodservice Education

It is truly an honor to serve as your instructor here at Foodservice Education and to share the knowledge and experience I’ve gained throughout more than 22 years in the foodservice industry.

For years, I wanted to find a way to give back to this industry and continue educating beyond the walls of a traditional classroom. YouTube gave me the opportunity to turn that vision into something much bigger than I originally imagined.

To our new subscribers, our supporting members, and those who are just discovering Foodservice Education—welcome. I’m grateful you’re here.

The idea for this platform began while I was teaching culinary arts at the high school level. Since leaving the classroom, this community has continued to grow, but my mission has remained the same: **educate, mentor, support, and prepare the next generation of foodservice professionals.**

One of the most rewarding parts of my career is running into former students who are now working and building careers in this industry. Hearing someone call out, “Chef Pesce!” years after they sat in my classroom is a reminder that great education can leave an impact long after the lesson ends.

That is exactly what I hope to continue building here.

Whether you're preparing for a certification exam, advancing your career, training a team, or simply becoming better at your craft, I want Foodservice Education to be your new online classroom setting where you can learn from the expert.

9 MORE LIGHTNING ROUND SHORTS ARE LIVE!

Think you know the material? Put your knowledge to the test.

Each question gives you just 15 seconds to lock in your answer before the reveal. See how many you can get right—and how quickly you can respond.

After years in education, one principle continues to prove itself: repetition builds retention. The more we see information, hear it, and actively recall it, the stronger our understanding becomes—and the faster we can apply that knowledge when it matters.

Head over to the Shorts tab or Lightning Round playlist, challenge yourself with the 9 new chapters with questions, and drop your score in the comments how many you got correct.

Don’t just study it. Practice it until you know it.

A New Look. The Same Mission. An Even Bigger Vision.

This new design was built intentionally, using more than four years of channel data, audience feedback, and experience to make our educational resources easier to discover and our growing community easier to navigate.

And we’re just getting started.

Every week, new foodservice professionals, students, instructors, chefs, managers, and operators join this community. Our mission remains simple: make high-quality foodservice education accessible and create a lasting impact on the next generation of industry professionals.

Behind the scenes, an incredible amount of work goes into this channel. Many nights I'm working on Foodservice Education until 3:00 a.m., while also balancing an 80-hour workweek in food sales.

Why?

Because after 22 years in the foodservice industry, I believe the knowledge I've gained is worth sharing. This isn't simply a subject I teach—it's an industry I'm passionate about, and mentoring the next generation is one of the reasons I continue investing so much into this platform.
