TESTIMONIALS
MAKE A DIFFERENCE
“First let me say, Destination 10 and Chef Shawn are the best things that have ever happened to me in my life! I had no sense of purpose or passion for culinary until Chef Shawn and his team taught me to be more than just a line cook. Chef Shawn and the Healthcare Culinary Academy Program instilled pride and respect in our positions and duties. The lessons and compassion have stuck with me throughout my career.
Since completing the HCA, I have had the exciting experience of cooking for high-profile clients, as well as having a keen sense of detail on healthcare cuisine. I can’t thank DM&A enough for the impact you have made on my life. I aspire to acquire all the education and skills needed to become a DM&A Chef and be able to give back what was given to me.”

SIMPLY THE BEST
“He was simply the best ever! He was a great communicator, great at responding to emails, great at giving insightful feedback without being pushy and respecting others’ opinions, great at developing rapport with people he just met, equally good at improving quality of food and the process by which it’s produced, easy to laugh and keep everyone calm. It was truly a pleasure.”
