What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?  I would like to be involved in all cutting edge cooking technologies and be instrumental in their introduction to the marketplace.
Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:  I see the foodservice operator as that of a manufacturer. Raw product comes in the back door, is processed, cooked, and then served as finished goods. The equipment items used in the process of manufacturer are no more than tools. The right tool will help the manufacturer produce more food, with better quality, and will increase overall profitability.
