Food safety

Brad Smith

• Started in the food business age 14 doing dishes.
• First food handling job age 16.
• Culinary arts degree mid 80's.
• Tried to run away from the food business.  Coined the term 'restaurant refugee' 😏.
• Went back to school for Environmental Health.
• Over a year later I found out this degree gets you a job as a health inspector....And found myself back in the restaurants 🙄.
• Been a health inspector since 1991.

Fate had already decided I belonged in the food business.  49 years later I got no complaints.  It's been a fun ride 😉.

Sort of a love / hate relationship at times, but I'm happy it was the 'bug that bit me' for a career.

Now I find myself living in paradise coasting through my final working years with the best clientele in the state of Michigan (!)
