Podcast appearances and mentions of cherry bombe

Hey, listeners! Somewhere in my notes app is a list of people I'd like to interview for the podcast, and today I get to cross off one of those names–Youngmi Mayer. I've wanted to talk to Youngmi ever since I read her memoir, “I'm Laughing Because I'm Crying,” which I picked up after seeing her perform a stand-up routine at the Bell House in Brooklyn earlier this year as part of an abortion rights fundraiser hosted by Padma Lakshmi. Youngmi's set was heavy on audience participation and she somehow got three white guys to join her onstage for a bit about DEI. (Yes, Youngmi somehow made DEI funny.) I left thinking she was as subversive as she was brilliant. Fast forward to the book. This was a story about family, generational trauma, racial identity, and one very complicated restaurant business. (Youngmi was a key player in the history of Mission Chinese Food.) The book title starts to make sense early on. Youngmi joins me to talk about all of this. We also chat about the Slutty Cheff, “The Bear,” her one-woman show at Joe's Pub, and lots more. Thanks in advance for listening to the show and obviously, pick up Youngmi's book. Let me know what you think. –Host Kerry DiamondTickets for Jubilee L.A.Join the waitlist for our Summer Tastemaker TourSubscribe to Cherry Bombe's print magazineMore on Kerry: InstagramPast episodes and transcripts

Hi, listeners! Host Kerry Diamond here. Welcome to the show notes, and thank you for listening. If no one has told you lately, you clearly have great taste in podcasts. Today's guest is Substack queen, bestselling author & boy mom Caroline Chambers recorded live at Jubilee NYC, Cherry Bombe's annual conference. (Curious about Jubilee? Join us at the upcoming Jubilee in L.A.)My favorite thing about Caroline? She doesn't gatekeep. I've interviewed her a few times now, and she is always happy to spill all the details regarding her Substack and how she wound up with the NUMBER ONE SUBSTACK IN FOOD AND DRINK. Amazing. Here's the leaderboard if you need proof. (For Caroline's Substack success step-by-step, check out our pod from last year.) She also talks about being rejected by all the cookbook editors when shopping the proposal for “What to Cook When You Don't Feel Like Cooking,” which, of course, went on to be a major hit. That must have felt nice when the book made The New York Times bestseller list. (Cue the “Pretty Woman” big mistake scene.) Few more things. Thanks to Michelladonna of “Shop Cats” (happy belated birthday, M!) and Alice Ma of Mad Realities for introducing Caroline at Jubilee. Big thanks to Square for supporting our show and taking care of so many small businesses. Check out what they're up to at square.com/big. And go visit Este Restaurant if you're in Austin. Lastly, congrats to Caroline and her hubby on their new baby–their fourth boy! So many boys. If you have a Substack, I want to know about it. Email us at info@cherrybombe.com and put something funny in the subject line so we have no choice but to open your email. Join the waitlist for our Summer Tastemaker Tour.We have a print magazine.

Feminist icon Gloria Steinem was the keynote speaker at our Jubilee conference held in New York City this past April. An inspiration to millions of women around the world for her trailblazing work, writings, and protesting, Gloria was interviewed by her longtime collaborator Amy Richards. They discussed everything from the need for community to the current President to Gloria's goal of living past 100. While Gloria is not a foodie, as Amy pointed out, she did contribute to the food world during her time supporting farmworker activist Cesar Chavez and through her work to end gender discrimination in prominent restaurants. Gloria and Amy were introduced by author and activist Padma Lakshmi and her daughter, Krishna Lakshmi-Dell. Thank you to Square for their support.

Eleven years ago, Kerry Diamond launched Cherry Bombe, a magazine dedicated to raising a glass to women in and around the food world. Since then,  it's grown into a media empire that includes podcasts, conferences and a fan base known as The Bombe Squad. She joins The Bright Side to talk about doing things on her own terms and how she learned to listen to her gut.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

THE CHERRY ON TOP—Cherry Bombe is a full-course meal. Its founder, Kerry Diamond, created the magazine after working in titles like Women's Wear Daily and Harper's Bazaar, and after working for brands like Lancôme. And in the restaurant industry. She worked in restaurants at a time when everything culinary was in the ascendance in the zeitgeist.That's also when Diamond realized a key ingredient was missing. None of the brash rising stars at the table were women. She had also been hearing from women who found the going in that world challenging. This in an industry that is difficult for everyone to begin with. Out of this came Cherry Bombe.Today, Cherry Bombe is a full-fledged and rising media empire. It's a magazine, sure, but their menu also includes multiple podcasts and a series of wildly-successful events. Their community, called the “Bombe Squad,” meet each other on Zoom, at the events, and form a tightly-connected sisterhood of fans and evangelists for the brand.Diamond makes it sound like she built all of this without a blueprint, and maybe she did. But just like the best recipes, sometimes the tastiest things are the result of the happiest accidents. Print Is Dead (Long Live Print!) is a production of Magazeum LLC & MO.D ©2021–2024

“Focus on the big picture,” says Valerie Chang, the chef and owner of Maty's, a 150-seat Peruvian spot in Miami. For her, that means more than awards (like her recent James Beard nomination) and the future of her restaurant. It translates to taking care of her mental and physical well-being and implementing a new kind of hospitality that's focused on service not servitude. Valerie sat down with host Kerry Diamond in Miami to talk about her career, her family's restaurant group (which includes B-Side and her brother's soon-to-open Peruvian-Japanese spot, Itamae Ao. Valerie also shares what she's learned in therapy, her thoughts on being a boss, and Maty's menu highlights, including a twist on the traditional Oxtail Saltado and, for dessert, nostalgic sweet potato butternut squash doughnuts known as Picarones.Thank you to Kerrygold, Walmart, and Johnnie Walker for supporting our show. Hosted by Kerry DiamondProduced by Catherine Baker and Elizabeth VogtEdited by Jenna SadhuContent Operations Manager Londyn CrenshawThank you to Newsstand Studios at Rockefeller CenterRadio Cherry Bombe is a production of The Cherry Bombe Podcast Network.
