The four day examination has a very high failure rate, and Chef had this to say about the harrowing experience: \u201cIt unified us as a\u00a0team, we cried on each other\u2019s shoulder a lot. This exam was really about the journey, the victory to be shared by all of us.\u201d The group of Chefs faced a punishing daily schedule while at the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York. Each day included up to six hours of cooking\u00a0demonstrations, together with two separate written examinations, each encompassing a daily theme. Chef John completed the certification just in time to receive his BA in Culinary Arts and Hospitality from the New England Culinary Institute. Knowing his diploma was waiting for him was a great boost to his overall performance: \u201cI\u2019ve been taking up a lot at once, but it feels good to have accomplished so much as well.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right wp-block-paragraph\">November 21, 2016<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Archie Smyers from Seigle Caf\u00e9 is Back<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"109\" src=\"https:\/\/rossweb-uat.bus.umich.edu\/hospitality\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2015\/11\/group1-200x109.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-196\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sergeant First Class Archie Smyers, formerly a Chef Supervisor at Seigle Caf\u00e9, is back after spending more than a year in Dubai with the 182nd Forward Support Company.
