James Young’s earliest memories are cracking eggs in a large mixing bowl at his family’s restaurant in suburban Chicago.
Forty years and a lifetime of food service and hospitality industry jobs later, Young has brought his experiences to Dickinson as he takes over as the general manager of Players Sports Bar and Grill.
His biggest challenge, he said, is establishing a consistency throughout the food and customer service aspects of the business.
“In my opinion, there are three things that are going to make a restaurant successful … good food, reasonable prices, excellent customer service,” Young said.
That, he said, and reasons for people to keep coming back.
