Industry Insights: Built for Fort Worth's Food & Beverage Pros
The Culinary School of Fort Worth has partnered with the Fort Worth Food + Wine Foundation to support Industry Insights — a series built for the people who power our city’s restaurants, bars, and kitchens.
What is Industry Insights? Industry Insights is a recurring lunch-and-learn series designed specifically for food and beverage professionals. Each session brings in expert speakers to tackle the topics that actually move the needle in hospitality — from running a smarter operation to navigating the business side of the industry — over a shared meal that makes it easy to learn and connect with peers.
Held every other month, it’s a chance for chefs, operators, and hospitality workers to gain practical knowledge, exchange ideas, and strengthen the network that keeps Fort Worth’s dining scene thriving. A portion of proceeds supports the Fort Worth Food + Wine Foundation’s work in the community.
The next session

Monday, July 27, 2026 · 4:30–6:00 PM
The Fort Worth Club — 306 W 7th St, Fort Worth, TX 76102
Chef Carroll walks through practical ideas and exercises for training your sous chefs to step up — the kind of leadership development that pays off for the whole operation. [Optional: note that refreshments/hors d’oeuvres will be provided, if you’d like.]
Whether you’re a seasoned executive chef or just getting your footing, Industry Insights is open to anyone working in food and beverage.
