“If the walls could talk, they would probably say ‘Sit a spell, sit down, have a cocktail. Talk to your neighbor.' One of the things that's really special that hasn't changed about High Hampton is the sense of ‘love your neighbor'. Get to know who's at the inn with you while you're here. Sit out in the lobby and play board games together. Walk the lake trail together. I think there's something really special about the people who are here, who come as strangers and leave as friends, and then continue to come back.” We're in great company with Scott & April Franqueza, Executive Chef & Pastry Chef of the iconic High Hampton Estate. A part of the National Registry of Historic Places, this American treasure recently was thoughtfully restored by the Beall family behind Blackberry Farm, and is ready once again to welcome another century of guests. Before coming to Blue Ridge Mountains to create the culinary focused and craft filled landmark for the High Hampton community that they've curated today, Scott and April left accredited culinary careers in New York City in search for a slower way of life - a slower way of sourcing and cooking food. They found themselves in good company working with the Beall family for many years across Blackberry Farm and Blackberry Mountain's renowned dining destinations before saying “yes” to lead this new adventure.  As we celebrate the Fourth of July, Scott and April surprise us with so many sweet stories and savory details in how they are making this celebrated destination and dedicated community their home.  Top Takeaways [1:50] A glimpse into the fairytale storybook, or shall we say cookbook, that tells the love of a baker and a chef who met at the Culinary Institute of America in New York many moons ago.  [7:05] April & Scott's early culinary careers were humble and hungry. To steal a line from Frank Sinatra, “If you can make it there, you'll make it anywhere; it's up to you, New York, New York.”  [10:30] At Blackberry Farm, the Beall Family welcomed April & Scott with southern charm to their sprawling farm in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains, inviting them to take part in crafting their impeccable service and outstanding cuisine, as one of the most celebrated small luxury resorts in the world.  [19:40] After several years of renovations, High Hampton reopened in 2021 with a sense of familiarity, a feeling of homecoming, a welcoming energy that was complimented with added and elevated amenities.  [22:25] Discover modern luxuries and family traditions abound across the estate, snuggle up next to a roaring fireplace with a board game or lace up your tennis shoes for a round of pickleball, enjoy an afternoon of fresh air on the golf course or sneak into the wine cellar for a wine tasting.  [28:30] Dine In Good Company Scott & April across an assortment of restaurants, from fine dining to casual lunches, quick bites that turn into grand gatherings, each featuring classic, regional cuisine, re-imagined for a new era of travelers. [35:00] How the team at High Hampton is cultivating future hospitality and culinary talent while also building small businesses through the relationships with their local community. [42:40] There's always something to celebrate at High Hampton from 4th of July fireworks and summertime family movie nights to apple cider donuts after the Thanksgiving Turkey Trot, from warm baked cookies with Mrs. Claus by the fireside to a Champagne and caviar toast at midnight on NYE.  Notable Mentions Café Boulud by Daniel Boloud Per Se by Thomas Keller Magnolia Bakery Dominique Ansel  Chef Gavin Kaysen Chef Aaron Bludorn Chef Frank Stitt Glenn Roberts of Anson Mills Evan Chender, The Culinary Gardener Banner Small-Batch Butter Sunburst Trout Farms Providence Farmstead Simpson's Meats Western Carolina University  Whiteside Brewing Co.

Where did they come from? Why do they remain so popular?

Welcome, everyone to the Mona Lisa Monologues, Today's Women Shaping History. I am Lisa Ross Faust, your host for this powerful new series. Our focus is, women who have broken the glass ceiling, have worked in a man's world, or simply climbed their way to the very top, in any industry. Real stories, real-life conversations. It's all about finding the masterpiece within.Today we have Dee Patel joining us and she is the first female Managing Director of the iconic Hermitage Hotel in Nashville Tennessee. Everyone in Nashville knows Dee; she's been awarded the Woman of Influence by the Nashville Business Journal and the Outstanding Woman Hotelier of the Year. She's also a stakeholder within her community and serves on several boards: The Tennessee Hospitality & Tourism Association, Historic Hotels of America, the Nashville Downtown Partnership, the Nashville Chapter of the Les Dames d'Escoffier International, which mentors and supports women in hospitality just to name a few and she is most proud of the hotel's 10-year partnership with The Land Trust for Tennessee.Dee recently took on an important role in organizing the Centennial Celebration of Women's Suffrage in Nashville where it all happened 100 years ago. I bet you didn't know Tennessee was the swing vote back then. Dee will give us a little history lesson, we'll hear about the hotel, what they have been doing during this pandemic, of course, the women's suffrage celebration and we'll find out what it was like moving from England to Mississippi as a young girl, and how an independent Indian woman from the UK, figured out how to land a seat at the table. We'll even get a little celebrity juice, some girls chat, and a very moving narrative of what she is teaching her children. She does it all, while at the helm of such a majestic property, and as far as I'm concerned – she is the queen.   A lady of distinction, let's roll out the red carpet for Dee Patel….
