The Culinary Institute of America is partnering with the James Beard Foundation, Black Food Folks, S. Pellegrino Young Chef Academy and Fine Dining Lovers to create the Better Business survey. The survey will help respond to chef's needs in terms of training, education, career and business development, according to a press release.

The survey is open through Sept. 3 for U.S. chefs in all markets including hotels, bistros, fine dining and fast casual. Following the survey's completion, Better Business will publish the data in October and offer video masterclasses in November.

"Through our Open for Good campaign, we have been focused on helping independent restaurants build the capacity to come back stronger, more equitable, more sustainable, and more resilient. Hearing directly from the community on what support is most needed is critical in order to identify the most needed resource that will ensure the industry can survive, rebuild, and thrive for the long-term," Kris Moon, president and COO, James Beard Foundation, said in the release.
