INDUSTRY NIGHT: A WOMEN’S PLACE IS THE KITCHEN

Per usual there is so much there’s so much going on and I’ve been eating, drinking, rubbing shoulders and shaking hands — I have really found myself chatting with some of the very best and brightest in the Industry - including today’s guest. I really do love what I do. Let’s go down memory lane shall we? I mean if you follow me on insta than you see a lot of what I am doing but you know I want to chat about it!  And then I will be bringing on this week’s guest:Journalist-turned-director-turned-activist: Joanna James. Joanna thinks a woman’s place is in the kitchen and I agree!

Okay the DL on Chefs For Equality

You know Your girl loves high tea and I just hosted a tea party at Zinnia in Silver Spring.

Rosedale is the new spot by Ashok Bajaj. It is exactly what a neighborhood restaurant should be: casual, pizzas, salads and Frank Ruta’s roasted chicken,

Hungry? I didn’t event talk about my dinner at Dōgon, I’ll save that tasting trip until next week!

Joanna James is  behind the film A Fine Line and is also the Founder & President of MAPP — MAPP is a 501-C3 non-profit organization dedicated to transforming the landscape of the hospitality & culinary industry through mentorship, advocacy, purpose, and the power of women (MAPP).

Joanna likes to say, It shouldn’t be easier for a woman to be a CEO in this country than it is to be head chef and she is taking the standard, tearing it up into little pieces and demanding and effecting change - watch the full episode here or listen to it here.
