YOU’RE A WHAT?

RESEARCH CHEF When Anne Albertine gets creative in the kitchen, millions taste the results. As a research chef, she mixes good taste with good science, creating recipes for Taco Bell restaurants at its corporate headquarters in Irvine, California. Her tacos, chalupas, and burritos fill the menus of more than 6,500 restaurants. “My team and I make restaurant quality food that can be mass produced,” says Anne, “so the culinary quality—the freshness, taste, and texture—has to hold up.”

Research chefs, also called product development or food innovation chefs, create new foods for restaurant chains, coffee shops, and food manufacturing companies. They blend culinary training with a knowledge of food science. “As chefs, we can make food that tastes good and has visual appeal,” says Anne. “We can weave flavors together.” But research chefs also understand food preservation, mass production, and the technical terms used by scientists. And they use this knowledge in their recipes.

by: Olivia Crosby

Research chefs get ideas for new menu items from many different sources. They often use the results of customer surveys to determine what customers crave. Suggestions are general. They might include requests for a large portion size, a low price, or a certain flavor, such as smoky or sweet. Research chefs give the ideas substance by creating several different recipes to match these characteristics. “My job is to create options,” says Anne. For every product that makes it to the public, researchers cook up 30 to 100 alternative recipes that never make it out of the laboratory. Research chefs also find inspiration by following trends in consumer tastes. They sample the menus of fine restaurants, often traveling abroad to stir up their creativity. And chefs read culinary magazines and study cookbooks, searching for recipes to modify. With a set of food qualities in mind, research chefs start experimenting with ingredients. Anne often begins her day with a trip to the grocery store. “I pick up fresh ingredients,” she says, “then go play in my test kitchen.” She might try different styles of chopping, compare grilling an ingredient with frying it, or contrast vacuum-packed ingredients with frozen ones. In one recipe, Anne was striving for the just right level of spiciness and the best type of cheese to give a toasty flavor. She uses her technical expertise to pick in-

gredients that will taste good when cooked in bulk, under the real world conditions of a restaurant.

Original Art: Nicolle Wardle

Anne’s recipes also need to be convenient. To make a burrito that was portable, for example, she decided to grill it. The grilling process seared the burrito so it would stay closed, even when it held more food than the other burritos did.

Vol. 20 Issue 1001 August 14 - August 21, 2015

A research chef’s test kitchen is similar to the kitchen of any professional chef, with heavyduty mixers, salamanders—tools for browning the tops of food—and other gadgets. But a research chef’s kitchen is designed for precision. Graduated cylinders stand in for measuring cups, and scientific balances that are accurate to the milligram replace the standard countertop scales. Large-batch recipes have to be detailed and accurate so that they can be reproduced in every restaurant. “We strive for quality and consistency,” says Anne. At each stage of development, recipes are tested with customers. In the first testing

session, a focus group of customers might choose among 50 or more pictures and written descriptions of possible menu items. “I let the customers tell me what they like,” says Anne. “I’m cooking for them, not myself.” Eventually, focus groups taste samples of the most appealing of the proposed foods. Responses are taken during experiments conducted in sensory labs by food scientists and marketers. Anne observes and learns from these experiments. “People might say a product is too messy, too spicy, or too expensive, so I tweak it,” she says. “With food, small changes in ingredients can make a dramatic impact.” When Anne isn’t fine-tuning recipes, she meets with other members of the staff. “Development is a collaborative process,” she says. Financial experts check a recipe’s profitability. Market researchers confirm its popularity. Food scientists concentrate on food safety and other considerations. And training and operations managers ensure that the restaurant crews will be able to make the food quickly and well. Meetings like these highlight nonfood-related skills that research chefs need in their jobs: good communication skills and the ability to persuade. “You have to prove your hunches,” says Anne. She gives evidence that her ideas will be successful, especially when they require a large monetary investment, such as new restaurant equipment. Research chefs who work for food manufacturers instead of restaurant chains perform slightly different tasks. They help food scientists develop flavor additives and prepared and frozen foods. They consult with restaurant chefs to learn what they need and explain flavor possibilities. If the restaurant wants a lemon flavor, for example, should it be acidic, sweet, or peely? Should it be liquid or dry? Research chefs translate the specifications of the restaurant into the technical language of scientists. Research chefs also test food scientists’ products, using them in recipes to make sure they taste good. To gain their unique mixture of skills, most research chefs earn a degree in culinary arts from a school accredited by the American Culinary Federation. And they take additional classes in food science and chemistry. Anne received a bachelor’s degree in general science and worked in consumer product development before following her love of cooking and getting her culinary arts degree. After graduating, she completed several internships with chefs experienced in fine dining, an experience she recommends highly. “Intern with as many different people as you can,” she says. “It’s important to learn differ-

ent techniques and to build contacts in the industry.” The Research Chefs Association offers certification to research chefs who have culinary education, 3 to 5 years of experience in both research and culinary arts, and a passing score on the certification exam. The Association also offers a culinary scientist certification to those who have a bachelor’s degree in food science, at least 8 weeks of accredited culinary education, research experience, and a passing score on a written cooking exam. The Research Chefs Association had almost 1,400 members this year, but the number of research chefs may be higher or lower than that number because not every member is a research chef and not every research chef is a member. According to a survey taken at the association conference in 1999, earnings varied widely for research chefs, but many experienced chefs earned between $70,000 and $90,000 per year. This suggests that research chefs often earn more than other chefs do. The Bureau of Labor Statistics does not collect data on research chefs. The benefits of working as a research chef extend beyond earnings. Unlike restaurant and cafeteria chefs, who usually work weekends and evenings to prepare meals and supervise kitchen staff, most research chefs work standard business hours. And although they have deadlines to meet, research chefs usually work at a more relaxed pace than their restaurant counterparts. The chance to be innovative adds spice to the job. “I’m always looking for a new way to achieve something in a recipe,” says Anne. And when a recipe succeeds, research chefs share it with a wide audience. “I love seeing a product go national,” Anne says. She also enjoys seeing people eating and liking her creations—and if people discover what her job is, they often tell her which of her menu items are their favorites. Knowing that her creations are popular adds zest to Anne’s work, but the work itself is what she likes best. By mixing a passion for food, a knack for science, and a flair for creativity, she wrote a recipe for a career she loves. Olivia Crosby is a contributing editor to the OOQ, (202) 691-5716.

F E W C A N B E M A R I N E S. EVEN FEWER CAN LEAD THEM.

CAN YOU? TAKE THE NEXT STEP TO SEE IF YOU QUALIFY. CONTACT THE HOUSTON OFFICER SELECTION OFFICER TODAY AT 713-842-3029.

What do you do? I work in the cafe of an academic building at the University of Illinois. I do it all: grill, cook, work the cash register, work in the dish room, and supervise student workers when my boss isn’t available. But my job is mostly using the grill or the oven to fix precooked foods like grilled chicken breast, canned beef stew, and frozen mac and cheese. Our hard-boiled eggs come already boiled and peeled. In my job, I don’t fix anything that uses a recipe, so all the food I make is already prepared. How did you get this job? The specifics about the job were not advertised. It was just advertised as a food-service position. The ad didn’t even say where it was on campus. But I wanted to work at the university because it has great benefits, and I wanted to get a foot in the door. Once you get a job at the university, you can move around. There’s a lot of opportunity.

August 14 - August 21, 2015

Any surprises along the way? No. My job is everything I was hoping it would be. What are your future career plans? I plan to retire from here, and even then, they’ll have to push me out the door! I absolutely love my job. I have a wonderful boss and great people to work with.

I took the civil service test [required for state workers] and got a perfect score. Then I had an interview, and I got the job. That was 4 years ago.

And I love the customers. Of the 150 who might come in on a given day, we’ll only have about 3 who are not in a good mood. But when they see you smile, they cheer up. By the time they leave, they’re in a good mood, too.

What else prepared you for your current job? I’ve always worked in food service, 15-plus years now. I worked over 9 years in the kitchens of two hospitals.

What’s your best advice? Always give great customer service. If you can’t give good customer service, you’re not in a good job.

While I was working at one of the hospitals, I earned a food safety certification. I took a 2-day class and had to pass a test at the end. The test covers things like the proper temperature for storing food, procedures for cleaning equipment, and food borne illnesses. When I passed, I got a certificate from the state public health department. Having the certification helped me get this job, because I was the only applicant who had it.

Officer_Sword_3.64x4.39_Houston_Jobsparx.indd 1 Vol. 20 Issue 1001

What was your first job? As a teenager, I worked in a fastfood restaurant and discovered two things. One, I liked it. And two, I was comfortable with it. I like cooking, and I like working with food.

5/26/15 11:47 AM

I learned that from working in the hospitals. I would see all these people, these families that had been through so much, and I realized that if you smiled and treated them with kindness, you just made a difference in their day—a positive difference.

ASK DIANA Q: I used to work in a motel in Fort Worth as a night auditor, & I would like to work at one of the Galleria area hotels. I think it sounds like so much fun. I only worked at the motel for 3 weeks, but I think I should include it on my resume. The problem is that the manager and I did not get along, and he fired me for being late three times. I haven’t been late at any job since then! Do you think I should include it, or do you think the manager might say that I was fired? It’s been 5 or 6 years, & he may have forgotten me. He’s actually one of the owners and is still there. -Houston, Texas Reader A: Even if the manager has forgotten you, your records are in the database. That means that he can look up your info at any time. It’s hard to hide things like this in 2015 when every company keeps records that are easy to access. Your choices are to include it because previous hotel/motel experience might be a plus; or omit it because it was only 3 weeks, & you might get a bad reference. I don’t think 3 weeks experience will matter to a prospective employer in that industry. You were barely trained, & then you managed to be late 3 times. Because your experience was short and a long time ago, I would say not to include the

information. The one lesson you learned is to gentleman thought he was subtly asking if you be on time. You’re are older, wiser, and a better would have problems getting to work, but he was employee now! I hope you get the job you want. about as subtle as a brick. I’m not sure what the manager was asking when she wanted to know if Q: I have been interviewing for the last few weeks, you “partied.” She was so subtle that I don’t know and I have run into some questions that I just don’t what she wanted to hear. Was she asking if you know how to handle. I’ve gone online to see if these would miss work on Mondays? Was she asking if questions are even legal, and I don’t think they are. you did drugs or drank alcohol? Was she asking if An older guy asked me yesterday if I am married. I you would be a fun person? We all know that any answered yes, and he asked if we had more than one question about the applicant’s religion is totally car. I interviewed with a nice company last week, but out of line. I can think of no reason that it should the manager asked me casually if I ever “partied.” I matter to any company as long as you don’t have made a joke of it and said only with my children, but to work on the weekend. This kind of misogynistic, I don’t know what I should have said. I don’t drink biased questioning is a real red flag that tells you because my parents were alcoholics, but I don’t that you don’t want to work there. It makes it sound want to say that. Another woman asked if I go to as if the company is living in the distant past. If church. How do I deal with these weird questions? someone asks you a question that you know you -Bellaire, Texas Reader shouldn’t answer, follow Ann Lander’s advice and respond with, “Why do you ask?” And I have to tell you that I’m really curious: Why did they ask? A: You’re right. These questions are not allowed. It is always hard for me to understand why they If you have any questions about interviewing, hiring, are ever asked. I’d like to believe that we are or work, just email Ask Diana. I’d love to hear from becoming better people & more aware of recruiting you.

CAREERS NOW by Robin Ryan, Author of “Ideal Career Change”

ate your Job? Bored? Just dying for a change? Semi-retired? The average person will experience 5-7 career changes in their life time. That means going down a whole new career path in a new field doing something totally different. You don’t have to start at the bottom of the salary scale though. You can be smart like Peggy was. You can pick up on your old talents or go get new skills and put the two together. Peggy was a doodler. She’d spend her free time drawing animals, people and objects. Her parents had discouraged her from pursing an “art” career telling her she couldn’t make any money in it. She earned a college degree and got a job in a large company in the procurement office. She did just fine but hated the work. One day her boss assigned her to work on the committee for the new company-wide website + IT system upgrade. Here she met Tim. He was an illustrator and graphic designer using the computer as his tools for the art he created. Amazed she watched him work. Peg and Tim became friends and soon she found herself buying software and learning how to use it. She came to talk to me about finding a job as a graphic designer. That’s where we laid out a plan. So she took a couple of company classes and paid for a few on her own. She began to network with people inside her very large company who were designers. She went to HR and made connections there. Within a year, she’d landed a new job as a graphic designer and she actually got a pay raise too.

STEP #1 IDENTIFY YOUR SKILLS AND STRENGTHS Do some solid career exploration on the skills you enjoy using and are good at doing. These will be the foundation of your new career. There are online skills and strengths tests or just make a list. Do you like working with people? Helping others? Do you enjoy working with things like computers or flowers? Maybe you like organizing events? Make a solid list and eliminate anything you don’t find joy in performing.

STEP #2 WHAT SKILLS DOES NEW JOB NEED? Identify the job title for you next career. Maybe you know it. But if not, go online and do some research. Then look at Indeed.com and search out jobs and investigate what skills employers are seeking. You’ll be surprised to learn that you already have many of these sought after talents. Missing anything vital to perform you new career? Then go and get a course, read some books or take a tutorial and learn it so you can become marketable.

STEP#3 NETWORK! Begin to immediately talk to people in the field so you learn the language, the trends, the jobs, and insider buzz. You’ll also hear about job opportunities. Join the local professional association – these are gold mines for you to meet people to help you as you make your career change.

ning, managerial skills, etc. Add in any new training and all the previous experience relevant to being successful in the new career. Prep for the interview. Draw on previous work experience showing how you successfully solved problems and are creative and resourceful. Use the info you’ve gained from networking to prepare….and soon you’ll be working in your brand new career. © 2015 Robin Ryan all rights reserved.

The mikeroweWORKS Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that promotes hard work, supports the skilled trades, and challenges the persistent belief that a four-year degree is automatically the best path to take. The Foundation awards scholarships to men and women who have demonstrated an interest in and an aptitude for mastering a specific trade. Our focus is on supporting the specific skilled trades that help close the country’s skills gap and those that represent the significant bulk of our unfilled jobs. The Foundation has been instrumental in granting more than $3 million in scholarships to schools around the country, including Midwest Technical Institute, Tulsa Welding School, The Refrigeration School and Universal Technical Institute. One of the most important objectives of the mrW Foundation is to continually provide opportunities for financial aid to help those qualified individuals who are interested in learning a skill and mastering a trade. Toward that goal, we are continually creating a variety of scholarship programs with like-minded institutions and organizations. Each program has it’s own nuances but all are similar in that they intend to further Mike’s “PR Campaign for Hard Work.”
