The ability to speak well publicly comes into play often in the restaurant industry. Restaurant managers and owners need to represent the venue and often the company anywhere from a community board meeting, public hearing or vendor meeting, to company-wide meetings or a meeting with a team. Speaking comfortably and confidently with conviction, passion and integrity will go a long way toward achieving company and personal professional goals.

How to Make Saltwater Taffy
Saltwater taffy originated on the East Coast in Atlantic City, New Jersey. While the beach community is credited with the candy's origin, there is some debate as to when and why it was made with briny water. A widely believed account is that a big storm hit Atlantic City in 1883, which caused the ocean water to surge into a local candy store, soaking a stash of taffy. The shop rebranded the batch with the name “saltwater taffy,” which was trademarked in 1923, and the iconic beach town treat is now prevalent in summer destinations on both coasts.
