EATiQuette founder, presenter and co-owner David Rothschild jokes that he was “born into the restaurant business,” since, while his mother was pregnant with him, his father was a partner in an Upstate New York lodge. Some of David's earliest memories are of crawling around commercial kitchens. He’s still more comfortable entering a restaurant through the kitchen door. David has more than 40 years of experience in the restaurant industry, as a manager, server and service trainer. He's worked at major resort and restaurant properties in New York, New Mexico, Michigan and Arizona. As an instructor in the Culinary Arts Program at MetroTech High School in Phoenix (Arizona) from 1988 to 2003, he was responsible for the operation of a student-staffed coffee shop, fine dining room and banquet facility. At the request of another MetroTech instructor, David developed his first etiquette lesson in 1989. The goal was to introduce high school students to proper dining etiquette and to help them feel comfortable in both social and business dining situations. In the summer of 1998, David first began offering his etiquette seminars (renamed EATiQuette) to the public, businesses, colleges and culinary training programs. He has presented to more than 500 groups ranging from preschoolers to Fortune 500 executives. Some 12,000 participants have been impacted by this unique workshop. David was a finalist in the Society of American Cuisine's Year of the
Waiter program and was nominated for Arizona Vocational Teacher
of theYear
in 1997 and 2000. The MetroTech Culinary Arts Department was the 1995
Vocational
Program of the Year in Arizona. David is a member of the American
Association of Family & Consumer Sciences and has served on
numerous Arizona high school and college culinary program advisory
boards. David regularly presents dining etiquette and table service
training at St. Mary’s Food Bank Community Kitchen. David and his wife, Barbara, co-wrote a weekly dining
etiquette column, Ask Mr. EATiQuette,
that ran for two years in The
(Biloxi, MS) Sun Herald’s Marquee entertainment section. David is regularly consulted as a restaurant service and
dining etiquette expert by national and international media. He
is also a regular contributor to Native
American Casino and other industry publications. |
