A conversation with Pat Gilles

Pat's Gym hosts a free class twice a week for the food service industry to support mental and physical wellness. Pat Gilles spoke about how one of his chef clients led to an understanding of the unique challenges of creatives in the food service industry especially as related to alcohol and drug dependencies. These classes, while available to the Dane County food industry, identify a partnership of two industries that felt the pandemic in similar ways and needed to reinvent themselves through very difficult times.
