Throughout this season, we've been exploring immigrant narratives around food: roles in food systems, labour, and diasporic food stories. Part of this is making sense of the “ish” elements to identities through food, which my guest this week, Renato Poliafito, does beautifully.  Renato is a James Beard-nominated restaurateur, pastry chef, cookbook author, designer, and entrepreneur based in Brooklyn, NY. After a graphic design and advertising career, Renato pivoted to food, training as a barista to learn more about the industry, eventually opening Baked in 2005. This kicked off a culinary renaissance in the waterfront neighbourhood, resulting in several cookbooks, a line of mixes, granola, bakeware, a location in Tokyo, and multiple James Beard nominations. After over a decade at Baked, Renato embarked on a new project. He opened Ciao, Gloria in Prospect Heights in 2019, a daytime café and neighbourhood bakery steeped in his Italian-American upbringing and heritage. Inspired by the monthly pasta events he did briefly at Ciao, Gloria, pre-pandemic, Renato opened a sister concept on Vanderbilt Avenue called Pasta Night, a casual pasta concept, in October 2024. He is also the author of Dolci!: American Baking with an Italian Accent, his first solo cookbook featuring Italian and “Italian American-ish” cakes, cookies, pies, and pastries for any occasion. In this conversation, Renato explores how he infused his culture and background into Ciao, Gloria, and Pasta Nights, how he switches between his Italian and American heritages to build their menus, and his perspectives on creating community in Brooklyn and Italian-American eating experiences that speak to American-style dining.

Gabrielle Bendiner-Viani has spent 20+ years working to understand what's in a neighborhood by asking the question, ‘Where would you take someone on a guided tour of your neighborhood?' In her 2024 book, The Cities We Need: Essential Stories of Everyday Places Viani walks us through the tours she participated in from dozens of her neighbors in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn and Mosswood in Oakland, CA, two cities she and her family spent time getting to know intimately. As a photographer, urbanist and keen storyteller Gabrielle brings to our attention important considerations that truly make you think hard about what makes a neighborhood.  What it means to be a part of a place or really what makes our everyday lives worth living.   Our conversation made me think hard here at the Are We Here Yet? podcast about what kind of a society we want to build and who we want to be in the decades ahead.  How can we learn from our mistakes?  How can we appreciate the micro-moments that make our lives in a neighborhood worth living and how do we steward a place to provide that for all citizens?    You know a book and a conversation is good when it leaves you asking more questions than providing answers.  And our conversation with Gabrielle was just such an experience.

Over the past 20 years, Gabrielle Bendiner-Viani has taken the question, “what, and who is the city for?” directly to the streets of Prospect Heights in Brooklyn and Mosswood in Oakland, asking locals to take her to the places that matter to them. A visual urbanist, co-founder of the interdisciplinary studio Buscada, and widely exhibited photographer, Bendiner-Viani holds a doctorate in environmental psychology from the Graduate Center, CUNY.--Intro/Outro: “Elevator,” by The Cooper VaneDiscussed:Prospect Heights, Brooklyn, NYMosswood, Oakland, CAPrior urbanists of “placework”:-         Jane Jacobs-         David Harvey – The Right to the City-         Henri Lefebvre – Le Droit à la Ville-         Kevin Lynch – Image of the City-         Christopher Alexander – A Pattern Language-         Mindy Thompson FulliloveDiana Lind – The Human Doom LoopThe Anti-Social Century, Derek Thompson, The AtlanticContested City, Gabrielle Bendiner-Viani

Hello, and welcome to another episode of the podcast. Today, on the podcast, I have an interview with Renato Poliafito. Renato is a James Beard-nominated pastry chef, restaurateur, cookbook author, designer, and entrepreneur living in Brooklyn, NY. After a career in graphic design and advertising, Renato traded in his laptop for an apron. In 2005, he opened the Red Hook flagship location of Baked, kicking off a culinary renaissance in the waterfront neighborhood and leading the wave of the new Brooklyn food movement. After more than a decade, Renato left Baked to get in touch with his roots. In 2019, he opened the doors of Ciao, Gloria in Prospect Heights. Renato was born to Sicilian immigrants in Queens and sees the restaurant as the ultimate expression of his Italian and American dual identities. His fifth cookbook, Dolci! American Baking with an Italian Accent is the book we talk about today. We discuss Renato's memories of his Italian/American heritage, his early love-hate relationship with Italy, favorite Italian and American sweet treats, skill at creating mash-up recipes, the inspiration for Dolci!, and his tips for home bakers who want to achieve delicious and successful baked goods and sweet treats in their kitchen.  Things We Mention In This Episode Ciao Gloria and Renato Poliafito Dolci: American Baking with an Italian Accent Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat by Samin Nosrat The Complete Cook's Country Cookbook

Eli Sussman is a meme lord, cookbook writer, a very funny guy and restaurateur with a few big hits under his belt — notably the contemporary Middle Eastern Samesa and Gertrude's, a Jew-ish style diner in Prospect Heights. We first became aware of Sussman before he opened Gertrude's with partners Nate Adler and Rachel Jackson  a year ago. His Instagram account is chock-a-block with hilarious if-you-know-you-know service industry in-jokes, satire and original memes that skewer more famous restaurateurs. More recently, he has also now launched a video interview show called “Talkin' in the Walk-In,” where he interviews his contemporaries inside restaurant coolers. Here, we discuss the first year of Gertrude's, his viral micro-fame and growing up in the Midwest. We talk about culinary trends and his pet peeves about customers. And he gives us his personalized food tour of Brooklyn and beyond.   Brooklyn news and views you can use: bkmag.com Email: hello@bkmag.com Follow along on Facebook: Brooklyn Magazine Twitter: @brooklynmag Instagram: @brooklynmagazine Follow Brian Braiker on Twitter: @slarkpope

Today my guest is Author Kitty Zeldis. Once an aspiring bun-head (ballet dancer,) she went from publishing almost 40 children themed books and short stories and her last novel, The Dressmakers of Prospect Heights was about a Jewish Prostitute in New Orleans… We cover her journey from one to the other, and lots of stuff in between. She talks about rejection letters, balancing editors and her own vision, and gives some great advice to aspiring writers. How writing novels damaged her reading them, she is often caught up evaluating and rationalizing things in the book that she is simply trying to read and enjoy. She has finally mastered emojis, but fears it may be passe and too late to be cool.

They discuss the exploitation of workers and huge markups for consumers from traditional Christmas tree companies, New York State of Pine's democratic centralist model for decision-making, the question of scale, and the importance of working with and getting to know working-class people as communists and socialists.

Chef and serial restaurateur Greg Baxtrom is behind acclaimed Prospect Heights staples Olmsted, Maison Yaki and relative newcomer Patti Ann's Family Restaurant and Baker. A little over a week ago he launched a fourth restaurant — in Rockefeller Center. He joins the podcast today to discuss his mini empire and how discovered he wanted to be a chef in the first place — turns out learning how to make beef stew in the Boy Scouts had something to do with it. We talk about his resume, which is impressive by design (Per Se, Blue Hill at Stone Barns, etc.) and he walks us through his many pandemic pivots. Baxtrom breaks down the culinary scene at large, food trends that bore him, learning to not be one of those asshole chefs and where he eats when he's not working, which is not very often.   Brooklyn news and views you can use: bkmag.com  Email: hello@bkmag.com  Follow along on Facebook: Brooklyn Magazine  Twitter: @brooklynmag  Instagram: @brooklynmagazine  Follow Brian Braiker on Twitter: @slarkpope
