Description
For nearly 3 decades chef Peter Hoffman owned and operated the storied restaurant Savoy in New York City's SoHo neighborhood. In his first book, What's Good?, he intertwines his own story and that of the restaurant with notes on ingredients that take the reader through a year of growing cycles. It's a remarkable and beautifully written book and Peter's comments are a wonderful expansion of some key ideas and moments it contains.In The Line-Up, our news and commentary segment, writer and podcast producer Jacqueline Raposo discusses her recent Grub Street article advocating for a broader and more informed definition of "accessibility" in restaurants building on lessons learned during COVID.And as he does each week, Brad Metzer, founder of Brad Metzger Restaurant Solutions (BMRS), joins us to share a selection of positions that his firm is looking to fill.

Episode 2: Amanda Cohen: Amanda Cohen has been chef-owner of downtown New York City's groundbreaking vegetable restaurant Dirt Candy for nearly a decade. Dirt Candy began as a 350-square-foot labor of love and grew into its current, much larger home two years ago. Recently Amanda shifted to an all-tasting-menu format, so we thought it was a perfect time to check in with this always thoughtful, entertaining chef. (Fans of Andrew's prior podcast, The Front Burner with Jimmy and Andrew, will remember her as one of our most frequent and favorite guests.) Amanda takes us through her career, the unique challenges of being a vegetable-focused chef, the omnipresent turbulence of the hospitality business, and the joys of using her restaurant to support causes she believes in. by Andrew Talks to Chefs
