"Anthony's workshops for Global R&D are the highest rated courses of all time in the history of MyLearning at PepsiCo. Clearly I'm a super-fan."
-Kyle Shadix, Innovation Director
PepsiCo
Anthony has a particular passion for, and expertise in, developing cocktail recipes featuring ingredients that would otherwise become food waste, as well as products sourced from sustainable and regenerative agriculture practices. He is on the Board of Directors for Yellow Farmhouse Education Center where he teaches a Farm Cocktails series, and he recently created a Food Waste Cocktail menu for The Global Foodbanking Network‘s teambuilding event in NYC.
"You gave us all such a huge gift. We’re not the same bartenders after our training with Anthony. The last thing any of us wanted was to be lectured by an overly academic know-it-all about something that’s ultimately supposed to be rooted in hospitality. What we got was the exact opposite. Anthony Caporale was a breath of fresh air. He met us where we were in terms of know-how and sincerely invested himself in helping us grow. I loved every single minute of that whole experience. I can’t thank you enough and don’t take this gift lightly."
-Cliff, Bartender
