In a deliciously fun episode, Margarita interviews Keith Cohen, Owner of Orwashers Bakery. Orwashers is an iconic NYC Jewish bakery that's been around for 100+ years.
Together, they discuss the spirit of entrepreneurship, Keith's lessons on doing business, his Jewish identity, and of course, all things baked goods.
Make sure to visit Orwashers in NYC, and follow them on Instagram @orwashers . If you go, get the apple & honey cake (Margarita's recommendation).
