Today on our episode #378 of All in the Industry®, Shari Bayer is on-location in Phoenix, AZ with Angelo Sosa, executive chef of Tia Carmen and Kembara restaurants at the JW Marriott Phoenix Desert Ridge Resort & Spa. Angelo is a chef, restaurateur and author of Dominican and Italian descent, who spent years working under world-class chefs and restaurateurs, including Alain Ducasse, Jean-Georges Vongerichten, Stephen Starr, and Masaharu Morimoto. He is known for his bold cooking rooted in Asian flavors and techniques, bringing over 25 years of experience that has taken him from three-star kitchens in Europe to street food stalls in Thailand. In 2010, Angelo competed on season 7 of Bravo's hit show, "Top Chef," and later, "Top Chef All-Stars," quickly becoming a fan favorite. Many thanks to Angelo and the entire team at JW Desert Ridge for the warm welcome and hospitality! 

Today's show also features Shari's PR tip to take care of your people; Industry News on menu trends that define dining right now, via The New York Times; and Shari's Solo Dining experience at Lutece, a styish, cozy bistro from chef/partner Matt Conroy and pastry chef Isabel Coss in Georgetown, Washington DC.
