The issue of sexual harassment in the food and beverage industry. On this week’s show, we talk with Brett Anderson, reporter at The Times Picayune in New Orleans who broke the John Besh story, then speak with two women - both of whom are chefs working within successful companies - one in Chicago, the other in New York City - and hear from them about what they feel the industry needs to do to right the ship. Dana Cree, pastry chef for the Publican in Chicago stops by to talk to us about the story she wrote recently for Food & Wine Magazine, then Amanda Cohen, the chef and owner of Dirt Candy in New York City talks with us about her online essay that ricocheted around the industry.
