THROUGHOUT YOUR EXPERIENCE IN THE FOOD INDUSTRY, HAVE YOU NOTICED A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN KITCHENS THAT ARE RUN BY MEN VS. KITCHENS THAT ARE RUN BY WOMEN? IF SO, WHAT WAS THIS DIFFERENCE, AND HOW DID IT IMPACT THE OVERALL ENVIRONMENT WHILST PREPARING FOOD?

Yes – they were different for many years.  I would think at this point most kitchens of good or great restaurants are both respectfully and professionally operated.  Many years ago – this was not the norm.  I found women-run kitchens to be respectful of each other, more willing to teach, and more supportive of the environment and local products.  Keep in mind though that the last time I worked in a kitchen that was not mine was in 1989.
