I say this because I just got back from eating at one of my favorite restaurants, Central One Restaurant. My wife and I have been going to this family-owned Greek Restaurant for over 15 years. Obviously, living in Hawaii now, we have had to take a break because it was too far away, so I was a little nervous that it wouldn't be as good as last time.
Thankfully, the food was just as good as the last time. The Avgolemono (lemon/chicken/rice soup) was amazing! The Saganaki (flaming cheese) was tasty and the Gyros were out of this world! If you get a chance, take the journey and go eat there while you are in town.
Well, you might ask, how does this all connect, besides making you hungry? Well, what is interesting about this place is that the menu looked pretty much the same as it has for 15 years, and the food was just as exceptional as it has been in the past. In talking to the owner tonight, he said that he has had the same chefs for over 20 years.
The keys to success for this restaurant are:
- consistency
- great food
- a friendly staff who get to know you
- and an experience like no other!
Even though we will all be inundated tomorrow at ISTE with the latest/greatest technology and Web 2.0/3.0 tools to use with your students and staff, and you might feel like you are outdated as a educator, there are still some basics to remember.
Great teaching, like great restaurants starts with a few keys to success:
- consistency
- building relationships with our students
- and an experience like no other!
So, while you might get overwhelmed tomorrow with the newest ideas, remember, Central One Restaurant, and know that the real keys to success for your students might already lie inside you.
Opa!!
