Please join me in congratulating Jay Hibbert and Mike Carlson on their achievement of Partner Team of the Quarter for Q1 – 2018.

Jay joined Biaggi’s in May of 2014 and is coming up on his 4^th anniversary with Biaggi’s. Mike joined us just a brief year later in September of 2015. Together, these two have weathered many a restaurant storm and, after a perilous career with Mac Grill prior to joining Biaggi’s, these two are some of the best in “Guerrilla Restaurant Management”. Their war stories are some of the best that I have ever heard! Needless to say, these guys are true Brand Ambassadors for Biaggi’s. They’ve seen the other side of restaurants and appreciate what a great company we are to work for. Our Carmel location has not been without it’s challenges; from opening this restaurant, we have had to endure extreme traffic and construction concerns. Now, almost 6 years later we are thankfully and gratefully on the other side. Jay and Mike have always showed up with smiles on their faces and a Mountain Dew in their hands, ready to dig in to get the job done. Congratulations again Jay and Mike!

PS – Good luck in Vegas Jay!

Chelsea is one of the most dedicated people I have had the pleasure to work with.  What she has done in quarter one exemplifies great leadership.  She decided, after we lost our CP, that she was going to learn our kitchen just like a CP would.  She immersed herself doing everything she could to educate herself on the full operation of the kitchen. She got her hands into everything!  This was all done during the most challenging time in our kitchen, as she was short a CP and a sous!  She constantly worked six days a week, and never complained.  We didn’t lose a single member of the kitchen staff, and I know her management team all raised their game to follow her lead.  This week, our new Chef Zach Link will arrive in Omaha.  I am so excited to see where Chelsea and Zach can take this restaurant. 

Chelsea, you continue to impress me. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication.
