The Restaurant Incubator
The Industry Standard's mission is to provide aspiring chefs with valuable strategies and tactics taken from my 30+ years in professional kitchens.
My name is Brandon Sharp. I worked for the best chefs in the country, earned seven Michelin stars of my own, and now own three restaurants, but The Industry Standard isn't about me; it's about you. I want you to stand on the shoulders of my generation and be a better chef than I ever will--and set your own standard.
