    Unpretentious Palate’s Industry Breakfasts

    Join Unpretentious Palate’s debut industry brunch series, an invite-only event where hospitality professionals will gather to discuss the industry’s most pressing issues and find ways to move forward together. Presented by Vulcan, each breakfast will feature networking and a panel discussion geared at strengthening relationships and the businesses that make up Charlotte’s culinary scene.

    August 19, 10 a.m.: Shifting the Focus from Hustle to Health

    The restaurant industry is known as a fast-paced, high-stress field–often at the expense of workers’ physical and mental well-being. Our panelists will discuss why hospitality is facing a health crisis and share practical steps to create a healthier, more sustainable workplace for all.

    Speakers: Sam Diminich of Your Farms Your Table, Juliet Kuehnle of Sun Counseling & Wellness and Dr. Melissa Jones of Priority Care, PC.

    September 22, 10 a.m.: Feast or Famine: How to Stay Financially Fit in Food Service

    Speakers: Gayle Cabrera of Truist, Kory Jeter of Cultura Properties, and Jon Dressler of Rare Roots Hospitality.

    Topics and speakers are subject to change.
