I have a very unique connection with today’s guest. I went to elementary school with him and he lived just down the street from where I grew up. He was in the grade ahead of me and I can’t say our paths crossed much back then but it’s funny how life can circle back and connect you again with someone (yet another amazing perk of this podcast).   Today’s guest is Casey Elsass who followed his calling to pioneer his love of adventure and food. He is one of the co-founders of Bushwick Kitchen which began in 2014 as a 30-day bet to start a company. And now their product is on the shelves of William Sonoma! IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS: Casey’s thirst for adventure “not wanting opportunity to slip by…that’s the kind of person I am” The insight he had to find “normalcy” after the first few years of starting up Recognizing the need for connection after experiencing work-induced solidarity Why creating a product from scratch feels vulnerable & requires bravery How Casey handles disappointment & success Casey’s typical morning routine MEMORABLE QUOTES FROM THIS EPISODE: “Success is the graceful execution of Plan B” “I think the only failure […] The post LPP #6 Honey Makes Success Taste Even Sweeter with Casey Elsass appeared first on Liveng Proof.

"The one through line of my early twenties was that there was no through line." After many years of random jobs and a prolonged stint at the Metropolitan Opera, Casey made a pledge to himself that he would establish his career path by the time he was 30. Food was always heavily involved in Casey's life, it was a love interest of his but always something in the background. That is until he and a friend set themselves a challenge to set up a company in 30 days. They developed a spicy honey with quality ingredients from the Hudson Valley, Bushwick Kitchen was born. Three years later, they now produce 7 products ranging from honey, maple syrup and hot sauce. Casey discusses the early challenges in his first entrepreneurial endeavor, how he rolled with the punches, and how all those random, unrelated jobs in his twenties aligned to mould the multi-dimensional entrepreneur that he is today.

On today's episode of THE FOOD SEEN, we tap Casey Elsass and his New Hampshire roots, to bring us into maple season and plenty of Sugar on Snow Suppers. Casey is the founder of Bushwick Kitchen, née Mixed Made, producer of Trees Knees Mountain Maple (Cinnamon & Spicy versions too). He's recently authored the latest Short Stack Editions: Maple Syrup, and wants you know, if it starts with “Log”, “Aunt” or “Mrs.”, it's not real maple. From trees in the Catskills Mountains, Casey will convert maple skeptics like maples cover starch into sugar, especially with recipes like Maple & Root Beer Baked Beans, Poutine with Spicy Maple Bacon, and Potato Doughnuts with Maple Glaze, all which celebrate New England (and Québécois) regional classics. Globally inspired dishes like Guinness Scones with Maple-Whiskey Butter and Maple Miso Wings which make you believe maple isn't just for pancakes anymore.
