As we mark the one-year anniversary of the pandemic, now is a time to reflect on what we've endured. The audio I'm sharing today was collected in those first weeks of the pandemic, when restaurants, bars, and cafes sat dark and quiet across the nation. Owners were unsure if they would ever be able to re-open and hundreds of thousands had lost their jobs as millions were quarantining at home. You'll hear from chefs and restaurant owners from around the nation in their own words about the impossible and life-changing decisions they had to make as they adapted to the realities of COVID-19. And before we begin: I am working on a future episode of theLINE and I want to speak to you; if you are a front of house or back of house worker, whether you've been working or not working during the past year of the COVID pandemic, if you were fired or furloughed or decided to leave the hospitality industry or take a break. I want to hear your story about what the last year has been like for you. If you are willing to share your story and you'd like to speak to me, you can get in touch with me by emailing theline@heritageradionetwork.org. Or you can send me a DM on Instagram to @thesussmans. I would love to hear from you to connect with you and be able to potentially share your story on a future episode.In Part One, Stories from:Steven Satterfield - Chef/Owner Miller Union Atlanta @millerunionchefAlex Raij Founder, Chef, Owner Txikito, El quinto pino, La Vara, Saint Julivert Fisherie NYC @alexraij Andy Hollyday Chef/Co-Owner Selden Standard Detroit @chefandy42Dave Mancini Chef/Owner Supino Pizzeria Detroit @supinopizzeria Hannah Jacobs Co-Owner Babydudes Brooklyn @babydudes Dan Kluger Chef/Owner Loring Place NYC @dan_klugerMarina Michelson Co-Owner Paper or Plastik Cafe @paper_plastic And after the break, perspectives from:Aktar Nawab, Chef and Owner - Alta Calidad - NYC, New Orleans, Omaha @altacalidadbk @chefaktarMax Katzenberg & Greg Baxtrom - Co-Owner and Chef/Co-Owner - Olmsted and Maison Yaki Brooklyn @olmstednyc @nyhospcoalition Brent Kroll - Owner Sommelier - Maxwell Park Washington D.C. - @btkroll @maxwellpark_shaw @maxwellpark_navyyardCamilla Marcus Restaurateur - Westbourne NY - @camilla.marcus @westbourne @roar.ny @indprestaurants Whitney Otawka - Chef - Greyfield Inn - Cumberland Island, GA - @greyfieldinn @whitneyotawkaNate Adler - Owner - Gertie - Brooklyn NY - @gertienyc @natejackadler @leeinitiativeHeritage Radio Network is a listener supported nonprofit podcast network.

Hey hey, it's FR Today! First the news: slavery in the Thai fishing industry (0:29), abandoned grocery stores & food deserts (3:19), craft beer on the rise (7:40), & a magazine banned by NJ prisons (9:10).

This week on A Taste of the Past, host Linda Pelaccio is joined in the studio by Chef Alex Raij. Alex Raij and her husband Eder Montero are chefs and owners of Txikito, a love letter to the Basque country in Spain – a region whose cuisine is distinguished by excellence and simplicity in both ingredients and techniques. She is also the co-author, along with Montero, of The Basque Book: A Love Letter in Recipes from the Kitchen of Txikito.

What chef doesn't want their own cookbook? Capturing your recipes, ideas, and dishes between two covers makes the transitory permanent and--from a practical standpoint--can be a powerful marketing tool. We ask two-time author Sara Jenkins (of Porchetta and Porcena) and Alex Raij (of El Quinto Pino, Txikito, and La Vara), whose debut effort The Basque Book publishes in April 2016, about what it takes to conceive, sell, promote, and enjoy writing a cookbook. And, since both chefs cook cuisines of other countries in the United States, we also discuss how to make non-native food accessible to an American audience, in restaurants and on the page.

Alex Raij and her husband Eder Montero are the chef/operators of some of New York’s best Spanish restaurants, including La Vara and El Quinto Pino. Raij is currently working on her first book with Montero, Welcome Basque. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Alex Raij is chef and owner, along with her husband Eder Montero, of several popular New York City restaurants: Txikito, El Quinto Pino and El Comedor in Manhattan and La Vara in Brooklyn. Alex was voted Eater’s 2012 “Chef of the Year” and Bon Appétit named her among six ground breaking chefs in the feature, Women Chef’s: The Next Generation. Later – we meet Molly Culver, Brooklyn-based farmer and floral designer. She’s the proprietor of Molly Oliver Flowers and Co-Farm Manager & Field Trip Coordinator at BK Farmyards! This program was brought to you by Fairway Market. “I think about authenticity a lot and I want to be true to the cuisines, but La Vara is my most improvisational restaurant.” [06:00] “With La Vara, I really wanted to be able to celebrate Mediterranean flavors – they were flavors that were really speaking to me.” [08:00] –Alex Raij on Radio Cherry Bombe “I think of myself a farmer/teacher. I spend most of my time side by side with beginning farmers, but the income we make through our produce and flower sales accounts for over 35% of our whole budget.” [26:00] –Molly Culver on Radio Cherry Bombe

This week on The Food Seen Michael sits down with Sara Jenkins of Txikito and Alex Raij of Porchetta to discuss what it means to be an immigrant who cooks, the past and present of Italo-American cuisine, the truth or myth of our culinary ignorance in the 60s, and how cooking can be an act of love. They also recount their respective culinary histories, and what makes them want to live and work in the culinary world.
