With nearly three decades of experience as a private chef, Chef Jacqueline Bruno takes us through her culinary journey. She traces her love for food back to her father-in-law, Francesco Paolo Bruno, a trailblazer who introduced Italian espresso to America. Partnering with her husband, they managed a thriving restaurant in San Francisco's Italian community and later established a successful coffee roastery. Chef Jacqueline also delves into her role as a restaurateur and tasting room chef at the California Caviar Company. Discover how she uses her passion and expertise to unite communities through the power of food.   Listen to this brand new episode of The Private Chef Podcast on: Apple -  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/culinary-passion-food-exploration-and-cultural/id1648363134?i=1000642622014 Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/episode/1SBxapTavWr7jXnru7Amdd Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hq8e63mfc9M Connect with  Jacqueline Bruno LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacqueline-bruno-b0373431/ This episode is brought to you by FultonFishMarket.Com, the most trusted name in seafood.  Visit the official website, www.fultonfishmarket.com and explore their incredible selection of seafood and let your clients experience quality that has captivated palates for generations.

Besides living with them, you're coming in there and you're actually giving them what's going to either keep them healthy or just satiate them for the moment." "People don't eat herbs. They don't understand that herbs are natural MSGs. That's what I like to say. Put some parsley in it, it'll freshen it up." "If you're a good private chef, you're going to have daily gratification because your food goes to that table by your hand and no one can deliver your food better than you." "I think parents can be incredibly instrumental in the success of their children's marriages because they will know all the secrets of the downfalls of their kid and how the partner can balance those weaknesses and provide strength for them." "I feel like food is really the common thread that can unite us as a human race, as opposed to a particular race." "I want them to treat me like a human being, not like a machine, not like a servant. I want to be treated with respect. That's all I want." "I've learned to love myself and I think chefs need to learn to love themselves and not allow themselves to be abused." #theprivatechefpodcast #privatechef #chef #cheflife #podcast #newepisode  #diversity #exploration #culinarypassion
