How Ivonne launched her career at Food+
For many, our Student Program doesn't just provide real-world experience: It opens the door to lasting careers.
For example, after completing a culinary internship, Ivonne joined the Food+ team as a line cook in the Bay Area and was soon promoted: first to lead line cook, and then to sous chef. In her time with Food+, she's explored diverse cuisines, helped open new cafe spaces and learned from skilled chefs.
Ivonne is excited to continue her Food+ career journey and experience further growth. “I can’t wait for a new experience to grow not only as a chef, but as a person,” she says.
Discover what drives Regional Executive Chef Fabio
After years in fine dining, Fabio was looking for better quality of life. “I used to do 16 hours a day, Saturdays, Sundays, holidays,” he says. At Food+, he soon found that work-life balance.
He started as executive chef of the Food+ site in Sao Paulo and soon took charge of operations in Brazil. More promotions followed: First to regional executive chef for Latin America, and then to regional executive chef for the Midwest, based in Chicago.
Fabio says joining the Food+ team not only led to the quality of life he hoped for, but also the chance to make an impact. “The nicest thing about this job is helping people achieve success,” he says. “When I help them be happy about what they are providing – whether it’s food or a service – that makes my day.”
