We'd like to give a special shout-out to our Hospitality Management sponsor BRG Hospitality.

Known for Domenica, Shaya, Luke Restaurant, Willa Jean and August, the hospitality group is home to James Beard Award winning chefs, and critically acclaimed service.

The restaurant group's mission to serve from the heart and give to the community aligns with the Education Foundation's mission of fostering growth and passion for the culinary arts.

“BRG Hospitality is a long time supporter of the LRAEF," said Jonathan Baynham, Executive Director of the LRA Education Foundation. "Their continued support shows that they are dedicated to investing in the future of our industry. We are glad to welcome them back to our management competition sponsor.”

BRG's Restaurant Recruiting Manager Elizabeth Montero was highly impressed by the student presentations last year, and looks forward another year of critiquing what concepts come to the table.

"We want to foster their growth, and excitement and passion for everything that we are excited and passionate about," Montero said.
