Mise en Place – the Podcast Thomas Haas
On this week's podcast I get to chat with return guest, amazing pastry chef, chocolatier, small business owner and opinionated guy, Mr Thomas Haas. We try and tackle some of the bigger problems that we see out there in our industry right now. Commodity pricing, macro economics of chocolate and food, seeing if there is much sense to be made in our very unnecessarily complex system of food. We also delve a bit into a favourite show topic and the exponential increase in tipping culture and how there doesn't seem to be an end in sight. I really enjoyed this chat as we got to the meat of some our industry's issues.
