CHEF’S SPECIALS SHARE BEHIND THE-SCENES STORIES ABOUT HOW YOUR CHEFS CREATES SPECIAL DISHES AND SEASONAL MENUS.

Sharing behind-the-scenes stories about how your chefs create special dishes and seasonal menus can be a great way to engage customers and showcase the creativity of your culinary team. Here’s how you could approach it:

1. Chef’s Inspiration:

• Highlight their background: Share where your chefs draw inspiration from—whether it’s a childhood memory, a regional dish, or travel experiences.
• Local ingredients: If you use fresh, local produce, tell the story of how the changing seasons affect the menu and where ingredients are sourced.

2. Experimentation and Technique:

• Creative process: Show how a dish goes from concept to creation. Mention the trial and error involved, and the unique techniques used.
• Behind-the-scenes insights: Share fun anecdotes like how a dish evolved during testing, or the unexpected elements that became guest favorites.

3. Seasonal Menus:

• Adapting to seasons: Explain how the changing weather impacts the menu, highlighting dishes that celebrate the season’s flavors, like a pumpkin spice dessert for fall or a mango-based dish for summer.
• Chef’s favorites: Let the chefs share their personal seasonal favorites and why they love cooking those dishes.

4. Exclusive Ingredients:

• Special collaborations: If your chefs work with specific farms or suppliers, share that story. It could be about getting a rare spice or an artisanal cheese.
• Limited-time offers: Mention when certain ingredients are only available for a short time and how that makes the dish special.

You can use social media, your website, or even table cards at the café to share these stories with customers. It adds a personal touch and gets diners excited about trying the specials.
