As the wife and business partner of longtime food safety advocate Darin Detwiler and co-host of Confessions of a Food Safety A**hole, Gennette Zimmer has spent the last 14 years experiencing the food safety world from a perspective never before represented at industry conferences: the person beside the professional. In this personal and often humorous talk, she presents the idea that how the people in your life hear, absorb, accommodate, and sometimes question the food safety landscape is precisely because they are outside the industry. Through stories from restaurants, conferences, conversations, and life alongside a food safety advocate, Gennette invites attendees to view the person who knows them best as someone who sees their profession from a different vantage point, and may be influencing their perspective in ways they may not fully realize.
