Watching any number of popular cooking shows on TV, it’s fairly common to see chefs in a rage, spewing one sort of emotional outburst or another. That sort of stress might be enough to send most folks running, but not Camilla Marcus. Recalling her own encounters with angry kitchen staff as she worked her way up in the restaurant industry, she could do nothing but laugh if a chef berated her for something as innocuous as a carrot. This sort of fresh perspective was what helped her to develop west~bourne, a restaurant and market place where staff members rotate through all roles in order to learn and get a holistic perspective of how the business is run. Though the restaurant is temporarily shuttered during the pandemic, the wellbeing of her coworkers is ever at the forefront of Camilla’s mind. In that spirit she has partnered with Robin Hood to found ROAR, providing financial aid for NYC restaurant workers to provide some much needed relief in these tough times. Thanks for listening!

Camilla Marcus is redefining restaurant culture with her popular New York restaurant West~bourne which pays homage to her California upbringing. “Accidentally vegetarian, decidedly wholesome,” it is on track to become the first zero waste certified restaurant in Manhattan. A departure from traditional hierarchical restaurant organizations, everyone in West~bourne is cross trained to perform all jobs, including doing the dishes. The result is a culture of passionate employees who subscribe to the company’s tenet of curiosity. Join me for an enlightening chat with Camilla to find out why she believes almond milk is on its way out, why she thinks heirloom mushrooms are the next kale and why you should start carrying a handkerchief.

Our first episode of the season focused on a more traditional route of funding through investor relations with Camilla Marcus. Today we’re going in a different direction of raising funds by exploring the path to opening Mae and Yonder here in PDX with Chef/Owner Maya Lovelace. Maya successfully crowdfunded her restaurant and we sat down to chat in special live episode of Opening Soon. Maya was an Eater Young Gun and Eater Portland Chef of the Year in 2016, a Zagat National 30 under 30 in 2017, a JBFA Rising Star semifinalist in 2017 and 2018, and a StarChefs Rising Star in 2018. Her restaurants draw on her family heritage in Appalachia with Yonder hitting on southern classics, and Mae a refined approach through a tasting menu personally delivered by the chef herself.

Let's talk about money honey. One of the most requested topics following last season was to talk more about financing options for new restaurateurs. Restaurants have notoriously slim margins and chefs aren’t known to have huge salaries. So how do you fund your project and what are potential investors looking for in your business plan? Our guest today is Camilla Marcus, Founder and Owner/Operator of West-Bourne, an accidentally vegetarian and decidedly mindful eatery in SoHo with a triple bottom line mission. Before opening West~Bourne, Camilla was the Director of Business Development at USHG, and worked in real-estate investing at Colony Capital and CM Group. Camilla is also an active Angel Investor and a co-founder of TechTable Summit. Opening Soon is powered by Simplecast.

New York produces 12,000 tons of waste every day. Out of that 12,000 tons, only 17 percent gets recycled. Soon, we will have more plastic than fish in our oceans. In this no-nonsense conversation, the President of the United Nations General Assembly, María Fernanda Espinosa, and west~bourne founder Camilla Marcus, discuss solutions small and large to plastic pollution. Who is responsible for weaning society off its toxic addiction to plastic? And who should bear the brunt of regulation: consumers, corporations, restaurants, or manufacturers? Dare I Say is a podcast from HarpersBAZAAR.com that sits in on unfiltered conversations between the most influential women of our time—those daring to make the difference we deserve.
On today's episode of THE FOOD SEEN, west~bourne was born out of Camilla Marcus' bicoastal love of her birth and adopted cities: Los Angeles and New York. An artist in her own right, Marcus instead studied law, investment, and business development, knowing that “what you need before a restaurant, is a location”. After some time as Director of Business Development for Union Square Hospitality Group, she was finally ready to navigate the New York City real estate market, in hopes of bringing a mindful, “accidentally vegetarian”, zero-waste all-day-café to the scene. But there's so much more that goes into her nourishing menu of chia puddings, yogurt bowls, crispy corn tacos and “Mushreubens”. It's all about giving back; a percentage of all sales go to a local nonprofit that educates and trains in-need neighbor youth for jobs in hospitality, in which she hires directly from. Because that's the west~bourne way. The Food Seen is powered by Simplecast. Photo courtesy of west~bourne, by Nicole Franzen

There are apps for almost every piece of the dinning experience. There are apps to recommend restaurants, buy the reservations, document the experience and paying for the meal. Non-industry folks, who have the idea to build a better experience for themselves and fellow diners, are developing most of the new restaurant technology. In-studio guests Camilla Marcus and Lauren Hobbs, founder of the Techtable Summit happening this September, talk about the need for the restaurant industry to become more engaged in developing their own technology.
