Last Saturday, we were honored to join forces with the NYU SPS Tisch Center of Hospitality and Dana Beninati (Dine With Dana) for the inaugural Celebrating Black Leadership in Hospitality event, led by our CEO, Chip Wade. This gathering brought together over 80 students, industry professionals, and business leaders to highlight diverse pathways to success in hospitality. From insightful panels to meaningful networking, the event underscored the power of representation, mentorship, and community in shaping the future of our industry. A special thank you to NYU, our panelists, and all the organizations who made this event possible. And, of course, a huge shoutout to our meal sponsors—Gramercy Tavern, Daily Provisions, Shake Shack, and Joe Coffee Company —for bringing the hospitality to life. We look forward to making this an annual tradition!

Join Danny Meyer and the USHG leadership team on March 24–25 for a two-day workshop on hiring and leading with hospitality. Walk away with actionable strategies to foster loyalty, strengthen teams, and drive business success.

Yesterday, we had the privilege of hearing from three extraordinary chefs: Chef Payson Stultz – CDC of Lilia, Chef Gabrielle Hamilton – Chef & Owner of Prune and author, and Chef Amanda Cohen – Chef & Owner of Dirt Candy. As part of our leadership cohort, which began with FOH leaders and has expanded to include BOH leaders from across USHG, we gather monthly to develop our leadership skills and learn from industry experts and our talented team. Led by Chef Hillary Sterling, the conversation centered on what it takes to define your own leadership and culinary style, the realities of launching and running a business, and how to foster an inspiring and inclusive kitchen culture. A huge thank you to Payson, Gabrielle, and Amanda for taking the time to share their journeys and expertise with us. Their words sparked meaningful conversations that will stay with us long after this session.
