Meet Executive Chef Richart Hartman, who has been spearheading The Palace Suites’ groundbreaking dining initiative, "365 in the 305." Drawing inspiration from a team brainstorming session that began with AI-assisted party planning, Chef Hartman and the culinary team realized technology could help unlock a year of unique menus with no repeats. With "365 in the 305," residents now “travel the world” through global flavors while still enjoying their favorite classics. It’s a fresh, joyful approach to dining that redefines what senior living cuisine can be.
