Stay tuned as she shares how her values made an impact on the success of her business!   Here are the things to expect in this episode: Agatha shares how she came from a social work background before starting her business. How did she use her business as a tool for social change? The various communities and nonprofits she works with. Entering a program for entrepreneurs who wanted to incorporate impact into their business. The impact of openly communicating your values to customers and clients. And more!   About Agatha:   Agatha Kulaga is the CEO & Co-founder of Ovenly. A lifelong baker turned entrepreneur, with a background in social work research and advocacy, she firmly believes in the power of business for social change. She continues to build a bakery empire while focusing on scaling progressive business practices and leading the company's retail and wholesale growth and expansion. It's no surprise she's been recognized as one of New York's most “badass” leaders in food by Zagat and as one of the Cherry Bombe 100. You can find her in Food & Wine, New York Magazine, Food 52, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and Vogue, to name a few.

In 2010, Agatha Kulaga and Erin Patinkin founded Ovenly, which they originally envisioned as a bar-snack business, providing bars with better alternatives to beer nuts and potato chips. Over the course of ten years, Ovenly transformed into a combination wholesale/retail bakery, with four retail locations and a healthy wholesale business selling to coffee bars and upscale grocers. By March of 2020 it had grown into a business with more than fifty employees and a new, about-to-open location at Kennedy Airport. Then, when the pandemic struck, it had to close up shop both as a baked goods retailer and as a wholesaler. And in what Agatha called the most heartbreaking decision she has had to make as a pro-socially-minded businesswoman (many of their employees were people who have faced high hurdles entering the workforce), Agatha and Erin had to lay off just about their entire staff. On this episode of Special Sauce, we get to hear the Ovenly story in Agatha's own words.  Once you hear Agatha tell her story I'm sure you'll want to do something about the situation she and the hundreds of thousands of small food-business owners, and their millions of employees, find themselves in. I urge you to visit the Independent Restaurant Coalition's website to find out what you can do.  -- The full transcript for this episode can be found over here at Serious Eats: https://www.seriouseats.com/preview?record=453144

Agatha Kulaga and Erin Patinkin are the co­-founders of Ovenly, an award-­winning bakery based in New York City known for inventive flavor combinations that thoughtfully meld sweet and savory with a touch of spice. They are authors of the best­-selling cookbook Ovenly: Sweet and Salty Recipes from New York's Most Creative Bakery. Inspired by the Eastern European flavors of their youths, they create recipes that are complex but not complicated, and that play on tradition (think currant­ rosemary scones and pistachio ­cardamom quick bread) in creative and unique ways. With backgrounds in social justice (Erin) and social work (Agatha), the two are not only focused on building a national brand, but also in developing ethical business practices with a focus on job development and environmental sustainability. They aspire to be the first bakery to scale profits and social impact while maintaining quality and craftsmanship. Ovenly has a flagship bakeshop located in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, with a second shop in Urbanspace Vanderbilt, and is also one of the leading wholesalers of artisanal baked goods in NYC.

In her role, Kim focuses on creating energy, excitement, and inspiration throughout the retailer’s locations through curated partnerships, the Pop­In@Nordstrom series of pop-­up shops and a new in­-store boutique SPACE. Kim and the Creative Projects team aims to create new, interesting and unique experiences for customers and introduce them to the best up ­and­ coming brands and new talent. A prominent figure in the fashion industry, prior to joining Nordstrom Olivia was a founding member of and Vice President of Creative at Opening Ceremony where she was responsible for the retailer’s leadership in merchandising and store planning, art direction, and collaborative projects. Kim is a longtime champion of emerging designers, which is evident in her brand selections in SPACE and Pop­In shops (where you might find Brother Vellies sitting next to Rodarte). In 2015, Kim was selected to join the prestigious ANDAM jury, which supports young designers, and has also played an essential role in launching emerging designers such as CFDA nominated brands as Suno, Pamela Love, and Patrik Ervell.

On today's episode of THE FOOD SEEN, Agatha Kulaga and Erin Patinkin met at a food-focused book club, became drinking buddies, then hoped to rid the world of bad bar snacks, introducing new faves like maple thyme pecans and spicy bacon caramel corn. They now serve some of Brooklyn best sweet and salty baked treats at Ovenly, seamlessly mixing in savory components en route to becoming one of NYC's most creative bakeries. In their premier cookbook, Agatha and Erin reflect on their past Polish inflected upbringings, only to find their flagship store firmly set in the Greenpoint section of Brooklyn, surround by smoked meat shops serving kielbasa, and dishing out doughnuts better known as pÄ…czki. Their unique blend of old world ideas with new world flavors, like Brooklyn Blackout Cake using Brooklyn Brewery's Black Chocolate Stout, and cheddar mustard scones, explore the boundaries of baking, all while extolling the simplicity of a salted chocolate chip cookie. This program was brought to you by Rolling Press. “We really enjoy playing with flavors and we'll test things out until they work and they're delicious.” [10:24] —Erin Patinkin on The Food Seen “There was never a question like should we keep doing this? What the hell are we doing? This is crazy!” [14:41] —Agatha Kulaga on The Food Seen
