Podcasts about first prize pies

So thrilled to have Allison Kave on the pod this week!  Allison was the co-founder of one of my favorite Brooklyn establishments, Butter & Scotch, a feminist bar and bakery.  She talks about her first career in the arts, starting her one woman operation, First Prize Pies, her passion for craft cocktails, and eventually moving into the brick and mortar world with Butter & Scotch.  Allison is now pursuing her dream of living in Paris by combining her love of dessert, cocktails, and France in an innovative new delivery concept, Izzy's Paris.  Thank you to Allison for sharing her path, the reality of opening her business, and her entrepreneurial hustle in her next endeavor. To connect with Allison you can find her at: https://allisonkave.com or @allison_kave on instagram Also shoutout to the lovely Sophie Erskine - if you need a fantastic art director or marketing lady who will take your brand to the next level, you can connect with Sophie at https://www.sophieerskine.com/

Here’s a trendy food concept that people are eating—and drinking —up.  Cake and cocktails.  And it doesn't stop there. Meet Allison Kave - Queen of baked goods and booze, Co-owner of Butter and Scotch, a hit Brooklyn eatery that’s all rage for activists and feminists alike, prize winning pie designer and maker, author of  First Prize Pies and cowriter of the Butter and Scotch Cookbook. She joins author and chef Rozanne Gold to share why the artistry of her food and drink shouldn’t surprise you (given to other titles she’s claimed: art historian and gallerist), creating a business model combining feminism, activism and community building with great food and warm hospitality, and her recipe for what might be the most remarkable pie crust ever made.

Allison Cave, along with her business partner, came up with a novel concept — they own a bakery and bar all in one called Butter & Scotch.  It's designed by women with women in mind.    Their goal: to create a safe place where women would feel comfortable stopping in after work, to sip a few cocktails and eat birthday cake. Femmenist and inclusive, they also wanted to run a business that had social impact (one dollar of of every drink you purchase goes to Planned Parenthood). Clearly they didn't just create another restraunt bar, they created a community.       Raising the funds to take on such a project was a whole other matter. Allison has a lot to teach entrepreneurs and women in particular about obtaining friends and family rounds, Kickstarter campaigns and government loans.    I ask her specifics: how she started her business (literally baking for weekend markets), how hard it was, what she learned about raising money, and what she would do differently.  She is open about her experience , self aware and talk about how difficult it was to find life / work balance, measure success and manage teams.    If Allison isn’t accomplished enough, she also has published two cookbooks, Butter and Scotch and First Prize Pies.    You never know how it's going to go with a guest.  I fell in love with Allison the moment she walked into the studio.  If you also watch this segment on Facebook Watch you'll see how likable she is AND you’ll get a good look at the cover of her cookbook. PS. I've tried their iconic cake.  That's a lie.  I ate half the slice at Butter & Scotch and the other half I planned to take home but I happily finished that baby on the subway platform. #noregrets.    Without further adieu --   www.butterandscotch.com Instagram @drunkenbakers

This week's episode features the amazing, talented and ridiculously smart baker/entrepreneur Allison Kave. Owner and head pie genius at First Prize Pies, Allison is also one half of Butter & Scotch (with partner Keavy Landreth) and thanks to a successful Kickstarter campaign, they will be opening Brooklyn's first Craft Cocktail and Dessert Bar in 2014. In addition to discussing her upcoming cookbook First Prize Pies, Allison and I talk about having famous brothers respectively and how hers had a close brush with death thanks to an Asian hornet sting while traveling around Vietnam. WARNING - your mouth may water as much as mine does during the interview. Due to a sound issue, the podcast we were planning on posting today got shifted back so despite my saying that this is episode 5, it is indeed episode 2. We're still getting on our feet here at Lunch With Legs so please be patient with us as we get used to this new-fangled stuff...
