The Bluegrass Hospitality Group owns and operates the white tablecloth restaurants of Malone's, Sal's, and Drakes.  The Kentucky Cattlemen's Association and I conduct training's for the waiters and waitress that work in the restaurants of the Bluegrass Hospitality Group.  Alison Smith of the Kentucky Cattlemen's Association teaches them about the beef industry, nutritional value of beef, along with the differences types of beef (traditional, grass-finished, organic, etc), and I instruct them on the conversion of muscle to meat and demonstrate a carcass fabrication, showing them where the beef cuts they sell come from on the carcass.  The Bluegrass Hospitality Group greatly appreciates these training and have indicated that consumers greatly appreciate the knowledge of the wait staff.
