At Noma, he met chef Christian Puglisi, who he joined as head chef with the opening of Restaurant Relæ in 2010, and remained there for a decade until the restaurant closed. In 2022, Jonathan opened Jatak, his first restaurant, created with local ingredients and inspired by the cultural heritage of his team. The name Jatak means “yes, please” in Danish. Jonathan has been recognized by the Best Chef Awards as a New Candidate 2023. Shari met Jonathan in December 2023 when she dined solo at Jatak's chef's counter, and then sat down with Jonathan at his restaurant on a return trip to Copenhagen in Spring 2024 to talk about his impressive career and more!

Today on our episode #397 of All in the Industry®, Shari Bayer's guest is Lee Anne Wong, Executive Chef and Owner of Koko Head Cafe in Honolulu, Hawaii. A native of Troy, NY, Lee Anne graduated from the International Culinary Center (ICC), formerly known as the French Culinary Institute, in NYC, and began her culinary training at Marcus Samuelsson’s Aquavit before playing an integral role in the opening of Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s Restaurant 66. She went on to work as the Executive Chef of Event Operations at ICC, during which time she was featured on Season One of Bravo’s Flagship Series Top Chef, and subsequently was hired as the series’ Supervising Culinary Producer for the next 6 seasons, helping to build the show into the powerhouse that it is today. Lee Anne has also appeared as a competitor on The Next Iron Chef, Chopped, and Tournament of Champions, as well as participated on Season 17 of Top Chef All Stars. In late 2013, Lee Anne moved from NYC to Honolulu where in 2014, she debuted Koko Head Cafe—an island style brunch house in the Kaimuki neighborhood—to popular acclaim, and was recognized on the cover of Honolulu Magazine, as well as in Bon Appétit and Food & Wine, among other publications.

In August of 2023, Lee Anne and residents of Maui were suddenly faced with wildfires, which devastated large sections of their homeland, losing the restaurant and hotel.

Today on our episode #395 of All in the Industry®, Shari Bayer's guest is Erick Williams, Chef and Founder of Virtue Hospitality Group based in Chicago, which includes Virtue Restaurant & Bar, Mustard Seed Kitchen, Daisy’s Po-Boy & Tavern, and Top This Mac & Cheese. Erick has carved a special niche in the restaurant industry with inimitable persistence, passion and drive. In November 2018, Erick opened Virtue as his first solo concept, nestled in the heart of the historic Hyde Park neighborhood on Chicago’s south side. The restaurant combines his love of Southern cuisine and his insatiable study of history and art as they relate to food culture. Erick and Virtue have been featured in a host of local and national media, and in 2022, Erick was named Best Chef: Great Lakes by the James Beard Foundation, making history as the first Black chef to win in this category. In November 2021, inspired by his experience providing takeout only during the pandemic, Erick opened Mustard Seed Kitchen in Chicago, a takeout and delivery-only concept featuring a menu of high-quality approachable meals. And less than a year later in August 2022, he launched a third concept, Daisy’s Po-Boy and Tavern which evokes the vibrancy of New Orleans through its most celebrated sandwich, located a few steps away from Virtue. Months after Daisy’s opened, Erick collaborated with Virtue's Chef de Cuisine Damarr Brown to open Top This, a delivery and takeout concept offering a variety of delectable mac and cheeses with delicious toppings. Erick’s Virtue team is now getting ready to open a new Mexican cocktail bar, Cantina Rosa, celebrating Mexican culture the same way Virtue has done celebrating Black culture in Hyde Park. Shari sat down with Erick for this conversation at Virtue in Chicago in June over the James Beard Awards weekend.
Today's show also features Shari's PR tip to focus on mental health; and Solo Dining experience at Asador Bastian, a Basque-inspired steakhouse from Chef and Owner Doug Psaltis, and Christian Eckmann; part of Eat Well Hospitality, a Chicago-based restaurant group from Doug and Chef Hsing Chen, located in the iconic Flair House in River North, Chicago, IL.

The name Wolfgang Puck is synonymous with the best of restaurant hospitality and the ultimate in all aspects of the culinary arts. Wolfgang was born in Austria. He began cooking alongside his mother at a very young age, and worked in some of France’s greatest restaurants, including Maxim’s in Paris, and the Hotel de Paris in Monaco. At the age of 24, Wolfgang left Europe for the United States, first working at the restaurant La Tour in Indianapolis, and then in Los Angeles, quickly garnering the attention of the Hollywood elite as chef of Ma Maison in West Hollywood. In 1982, Wolfgang opened his first flagship restaurant, Spago located in West Hollywood on the Sunset Strip. Spago was an instant success and culinary phenomenon. Today, Wolfgang Puck Fine Dining restaurants can be found around the world. In addition, this year, Wolfgang celebrated an Oscar milestone as he marked his 30th year catering for the event. Shari sat down with Wolfgang in Las Vegas at his restaurant Caramá at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino to talk about his impressive career, while she was in town for The World's 50 Best Restaurants 2024 in early June.

Today on our episode #393 of All in the Industry®, Shari Bayer has a special show in honor of Naomi Pomeroy, an award-winning chef and restaurateur, who tragically passed away on Saturday, July 13, 2024, in a tubing accident in Oregon at age 49. As a tribute, we are sharing Shari's recorded interview with Naomi from June 3, 2022, focusing on her chef advice for Shari's book, Chefwise: Life Lessons from Leading Chefs Around the World (Phaidon, Spring 2023), which Naomi is a contributor to. The New York Times stated that Naomi was a "chef who made Portland a dining destination," and described her as "a self-taught chef with an irreverent streak whose high standards and generosity of spirit made her the culinary matriarch of Portland, Ore." As a Portland-based chef, Naomi's ventures have included Family Supper, Clark Lewis, Gotham Tavern, and Ripe Cooperative. Her time as chef and owner of Portland's beloved gastronomic shrine Beast from 2007 to 2020 made her one of the region's most successful chefs and earned her the 2014 James Beard Award for Best Chef Pacific Northwest. Naomi was selected as one of America's Best New Chefs by Food & Wine in 2009, and also appeared on multiple cooking competition shows, including as a contestant on Top Chef Masters and Iron Chef, and as a judge on Top Chef Knife Fight and Bobby's Triple Threat. She published her first book in 2016 entitled Taste and Technique, Recipes to Elevate Your Home Cooking, with Jamie Feldmar. In addition, during the pandemic, Naomi became involved in the Independent Restaurant Coalition (IRC). Shari is grateful for Naomi's friendship and contribution to Chefwise, and to be able to share their conversation today, where they discussed many topics in her book, including leadership, business, team, work-life balance, and fundamentals. Our sincerest condolences to Naomi's family, friends and team. Naomi, you will be greatly missed. #RIP
Today's show also features Shari's PR tip to say yes, inspired by Naomi; and Solo Dining experience from 2016 at Beast in Portland, Oregon.

As a tribute, we are rebroadcasting our episode #253 with James, which originally aired on Wednesday, June 3, 2020, when Shari spoke with him remotely during the trying times of Covid.

James was also working with Shari’s publisher Phaidon on a new book to tell the story of his restaurants at 70 Pine and his life growing up and cooking in NYC.
Shari was honored to know James, and call him a friend. He was not only an extremely well-respected leader, but he had a beautiful soul, and the ability to make others feel special. His incredible legacy will live on. Our deepest condolences to James’ wife Kelly and their children Gavin and Avery, and everyone who loved James too. Thank you, James, for sharing your story with us, and the wonderful memories. You will be greatly missed. #RIP

Today on our episode #370 of All in the Industry®, Shari Bayer is joined by Barkha Cardoz, a culinary entrepreneur, who is the Founder of Cardoz Legacy LLC, and Co-Creator of FC + B&B Masalas, as well as the Co-Founder of The Young Scientist Foundation.

On today's episode of All in the Industry®, Shari Bayer is on-location in Ann Arbor, her college town of The University of Michigan (#goblue!), with her guest Ari Weinzweig, the radical CEO and co-founding partner of the Zingerman’s Community of Businesses, which includes the legendary Zingerman’s Delicatessen, which opened over 40 years ago, in addition to 13 other businesses (all around the Ann Arbor area), with more than 23 managing partners. Recognized by Inc Magazine as one of “The World's 10 Top CEOs (They Lead in a Totally Unique Way);” by the James Beard Foundation as one of the “Who’s Who of Food & Beverage in America,” and the recipient of a Bon Appetit Lifetime Achievement Award — Ari has charted a new path for creating and growing a business. Rather than replicate the original, and now iconic, Zingerman’s Delicatessen, Ari and his partner Paul Saginaw made the conscious decision to create very different businesses, with their own managing partners, that would instead replicate the original Zingerman’s values, which Ari has continued to expand upon and write about extensively. He is the author of the four-part series Zingerman’s Guide to Good Leading, as well as a public speaker and writes a weekly e-newsletter. Today's show also features Shari's PR tip to be radical; Speed Round; Industry News on The New York Times article, "The New Reality for College Dining Halls: Dozens of Dietary Restrictions" by Priya Krishna; and Solo Dining experience at the latest location of NY culinary and cultural icon, Russ & Daughters, in NYC's Hudson Yards neighborhood.

On today's episode of All in the Industry®, our host Shari Bayer has a special episode in honor of the late, legendary Gael Greene, who passed away this past Tuesday at her home in Manhattan. She was 88 years old and the cause was cancer. As a tribute to Gael, we're rebroadcasting our Episode 150 with Gael, aka Insatiable Critic, which originally aired on August 2, 2017. Shari was incredibly honored to have Gael on her show as she was truly an icon in the hospitality industry. Gael, who was the original restaurant critic of New York Magazine for four decades beginning in 1968, the year of the magazine’s inception, reinvented the art of the restaurant review with sass and sensuality. She was famous for many things, including her taste, her elaborate hat collection and her intimacies, as well as her incredible work in the restaurant community serving, up until her passing, as chairwoman of Citymeals on Wheels, a New York charity she helped create in the early 1980s to provide food for the elderly.

On today's episode of All in the Industry®, host Shari Bayer's guest is Ellen Bennett, Founder & Culinary Creator of Hedley & Bennett, a Los Angeles-based handcrafted apron company. While working as a line cook at Bäco Mercat and 2-Michelin starred Providence in LA, Ellen realized the drab, essentially disposable aprons that served as their uniforms needed a major upgrade. She continued working both line cook jobs and threw herself into growing her apron business, spending time at farmers markets on the weekends and busting into kitchens and introducing herself to chefs from all over. Her approach has always been a straight up hug and real talk. R&D happened in real kitchens and she was able to really listen to what was needed to make a better apron. Aprons led to chef coats which led to work shirts. Hedley & Bennett now makes aprons in a ton of different styles, chef coats for men & women, work shirts, kitchen linens and the MISE knife bag, outfitting over 6,000 restaurants, operating a direct-to-consumer retail business and selling via wholesale partners including Williams Sonoma, Sur La Table and Whole Foods. Ellen has collaborated with brands across categories, with events or products in collaboration with Vans, Samsung, Pellegrino and Parachute Home.

When Claudia was named Outstanding Pastry Chef by the James Beard Foundation in 2000, it was a well-earned recognition of the new chic, sophisticated, unfussy and casually graceful style she introduced - and continues - in her classically inspired, seasonal desserts and pastries.Claudia’s craft and approach to ingredients reflects the time she spent working in restaurants in New York (Jams, Union Square Cafe, Montrachet, TriBeCa Grill, and Gramercy Tavern) and in Paris (Fauchon).

Connie, a dedicated triathelete, has always had a passion for cooking (particularly Italian).

Pam has never forgotten the wholesome, homemade bread and treats of her childhood on the North Shore of Long Island. It’s not just a tremendous fondness for desserts that runs in her family, but also the joy of baking them and sharing with the ones you love. Like Connie, she is also a competitive athlete and, before the two met and came together to start Levain Bakery, she worked for legendary fashion designer Norma Kamali.Today's show also features Shari's PR tip, Speed Round, Industry News discussion, and Solo Dining experience at Odette in Singapore.

For example, Titlit aprons are made with lightweight waxed cotton that is also spill-proof and waterproof. These goods are the chef or chef wannabes answer to looking good and getting the job done, all with a local slant. Because, let’s face it: It’s not really Hammer time.

With an easily managed program, you can provide high-quality training and empower your staff to represent you and your concept the way you would.
Mr. Dana A. Koteen, Managing Partner
“I got my start in the restaurant business at sixteen years-old working as a busboy and host. After all this time you can bet I’ve been through a lot of training, whether as a trainee or a trainer.
As the Service Director of Maialino, I was responsible for training an ever-changing staff of 50 for a restaurant that is open for three meal periods every day of the year. While struggling to keep up-to-date information in the minds and mouths of my staff, I realized something: the restaurant industry has no standard for training our staff. Unlike our reservation and POS systems, we’ve never upgraded the paper training packet to a digital system that is easy to use for both the trainee and the trainers.
At the time, I knew my friend Michael had a started a company that was doing something with training for restaurants, but didn’t know much about it. Fast forward one year later and we have Restaurant Reason.
Our mission is simply to make it easy to train restaurant staff so they can create exceptional guest experiences and increase sales.”

At the end of every recipe, Justin “breaks the law” by adding a seemingly discordant flavor that takes the combination to a new level. This program was brought to you by EscapeMaker.com.

“If a chef or a kitchen sends out an extra dish – that’s fine. I almost never say no to it – unless it’s a complete bank breaker.” [07:00] “My biggest peeves in restaurant in New York are overcooked chicken, share plates, general up selling on the part of the floor staff and the practice of not seating incomplete parties.” [09:00]
“All restaurant reviewers typically focus on what’s new. For every critic – how new is too new? Can you reasonably write about a new restaurant after 3 weeks? A month? 6 months? Restaurant reviews are unlike any other form of criticism because the product is never the same. Every restaurant meal is a different product and a different experience. When you go to a restaurant you’re not really buying a meal you’re buying a memory.” [13:00]
