An All Day Bread Cafe: Opening Loaf Lounge

The pandemic gave and it took from us. Focusing on the upside to a worldwide pandemic may seem unusual, but in reality the covid era gave birth to some fresh ideas and many creative businesses. Some of those have since turned permanent. Our guests today are chefs Sarah Mispagel and Ben Lustbader of Loaf Lounge. Sarah and Ben have worked at many of Chicago’s best restaurants. The concept for Loaf Lounge was honed during a pop up during the pandemic. And now the bread forward cafe is delighting diners, including our family of bread enthusiasts on a recent trip to Chicago.

Presenting Copper & Heat: Zero Stars

Today we present to you an episode from one of our favorite hospitality insider podcasts, Copper & Heat. Listen in for an amazing deep dive into the world behind the Michelin guide... If you were to rate the Michelin Guide, how many stars would you give it? When Katy was working in the Bay Area in her early 20s, she would have given the Michelin Guide 3 stars, because those were the restaurants she felt like she had to work to learn about the most innovative and interesting food. How has that changed? In this last episode of our fourth season, Katy and Rachel dig into the history, the data, and the money behind the Michelin Guide in the U.S. with help from Krishnendu Ray (professor at NYU) and Beth Forrest (professor at the CIA). By the end of the research, Katy and Rachel had very different ratings for the Guide than what their 24-year-old selves would have given it. What about you?

Making the MáLà Project a Household Name With Amelie Kang

When I was running down my culinary goals I had hoped to head a NYC kitchen by the time I was 30. It seemed ambitious at the time and I was equally proud once achieved. But it pales in comparison to the drive and success of today’s guest. She can proudly say that she’s the owner of 3 restaurants with a fourth on the way, all at that same young age of 30. Our guest today is Amelie Kang of MáLà Project. At 23, Amelie opened the first location of MáLà Project in East Village, sharing the originality of her hometown Chinese cuisine, and has since opened two more locations in Bryant Park and Midtown East, with a fourth opening in Greenpoint coming soon!

How to Open an Approachable Neighborhood Chophouse With Chef Chris and James of Gus’s

If you’re involved in hospitality then you have, or maybe should have, read Danny Meyer’s industry guidebook to success, Setting the Table. One of the things you’ll garner is the importance of understanding a neighborhood, and of building a group of restaurants with easy access to one another. Our guests today may have flirted with Manhattan expansion, but found their 2nd restaurant calling was the neighborhood they’ve already started in. Chris McDade is the chef and co-owner behind Popina and Gus’s Chophouse in Brooklyn. Originally from GA like myself, and then finding his way into USHG kitchens in NYC. We also have Popina and Gus’s Chop House co-owner James O’Brien, also a USHG alumn who manages the FOH ops and beverage program for the group. Photo Courtesy of Teddy Wolf.
