One price.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI'm Timothy Susanto — Head Chef running F\u0026amp;B across a 450-room dual-property hotel, brewery and conference venue, about $15M a year through the kitchen. I'm not a consultant. I don't run an agency. I write these guides between shifts, based on what's actually working on my own pass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eYou're already buying guides one at a time.
