A Message from Chef Jordan Badgley
I just want to pop on here and give a moments of appreciation to my Discovery Cafe Team!
Khaymen - who rocks to the bone. Everything he creates and accomplishes meets everyone's standards and then some. Come try his Eggs Benedict, you'll be glad you did! Very upbeat a his willingness to learn is amazing to see!
Ashley - who always picks up what im throwing down, has excelled in taking on a lead position by helping an coaching the Disco Team! On top of creating and executing flavorful and photogenic food.
Michael Chung - who has come a great way in success. His work on the stove top sautéing and his deep beautiful searing expertise on the flat top never goes un-noticed. His attentiveness and willing to learn and grow, keeps his mind and heart focused!
Dipa - who has an open and warm heart brings sunshine and happiness not only to the crew, but to our guests as well! Her eagerness to learn and become a pro shines bright, like her smile!
Cecilia - Kind soul and the sweetest person anyone could meet. She gets everyone dancing as soon as a Beach Boys song comes on Spotify. She helps brighten the mood and can get anyone to smile, because hers is so honest and contagious.
Yi - Hard working, strong willed, and very determined to go the distance when ever needed. His cooperation in assisting another Cafe if they are short a team member is very much appreciated and someone we are very grateful to have!
Yinsong - Have you every a someone who is always skipping, smiling, and has glee pouring from her veins? Well that's Yinsong. Always two steps ahead of the Line Crew and the Experience Team when needing a re-up of clean utensils and vessels.
Yinsong and Yi maintain and exude professionalism in the Dish Room.
Thank You Discovery Cafe Team for making my job easier and fun!! I enjoy every single one of your souls, and I am truly glad we get to learn and grow together!
-JB
