“‘We are a great culinary nation now in America,’ says Jimi Yui, principal of YuiDesign, a restaurant design and hospitality consultancy with a specialty in kitchen design. 

‘Food literacy has skyrocketed in this country in the last 20 years, and the demand for good quality food at the restaurant table is uniformly higher today.’

‘The skill set required in kitchens is going to increase as our nation becomes more and more food literate and demands better and better products,’ Yui says. 

This presents a challenge in an already transient industry. 

‘In the kitchen of the future, this turns into how do we produce high-level cuisine without needing the highest skill set we need today?’”
