In episode four, we talk to Sarah Thompson. A culinary school attendee, who like a lot of our guests, has worked in multiple roles in restaurants and coffeeshops. She learned how to brew beer before heading off to New Zealand for a year to learn charcuterie. Since she's been back in the states, Sarah has been putting together all that she has learned under the moniker, Tall Poppy Projects, making delicious, mouthwatering, fatty biscuits and bagels and so much more. We talk about reciprocal collaboration within and outside of the food world and how personal history can inspire your goals. This conversation with Sarah gave us a larger view of how service workers are treated in other countries - like New Zealand - where Sarah worked for several years. But also that while people are provided better job security and better wages, it doesn't mean those countries aren't still problematic in their wealth distribution or their treatment of native people, immigrants, and people of color. We also touch on Adesola's favorite concept to shit on fusion food (read, most hated concept). How it is often synonymous with cultural appropriation and how prevalent that is in Philadelphia's restaurant scene. We dive into the controversy over Mission Taqueria's team of chefs uninvitedly inspecting the kitchen and questioning the head chef and owner of South Philly Barbacoa, Cristina Martinez and then copying her barbacoa recipe for their restaurant. Head chef and owner of South Philly Barbacoa, Cristina Martinez wrote about the experience in 2016 of the controversy over Mission Taqueria's team of chefs copying her barbacoa recipe for their restaurant. in an article called “Don't Call It Barbacoa” Eater has an article about the same controversy Sarah talked about the persisting racism that exists in places where people believe the concept has been wiped out. Please do yourself a favor and learn more about the Maori people. Sarah talks about her involvement in two local Philadelphia organizations that try to provide equity in the service industry and encourage collaboration. - 215 People's Alliance : a multi-racial collaborative dedicated to fighting for equity and justice in Philadelphia - Philadelphia Coalition for Restaurant Safety and Health : “ We provide education through intersectional sexual harassment prevention trainings, legal guidance on implementing anti-harassment policies, and resources on how workers can build solidarity and organize their workplaces.” You can find more information about Sarah, our podcast, and leave a comment about the episodes at our website: www.plantainsandgin.com/creativesondeck You can support us by following us on Instagram (@creativesondeck) and sharing our podcast with your friends.

It’s produce grown in the Central Valley and shipped to your supermarket, the dinner plate served at your favorite restaurant.

Well we will be joined by Denise Fuchs the founder and CEO of Bloombaes because Bloombaes was sparked by a quest to make long distance gift giving a little more special. When she couldn't find anything online beyond the gift delivery mainstays - flowers, gift cards, gourmet baskets, etc. - she decided take her favorite parts of those classics and create something new. The result was a handmade bouquet of chocolate truffles. It is beautiful, delicious, and thoughtful. A Bloombae is a handcrafted chocolate bouquet. It's a colorful combination of melt-in-your-mouth chocolate truffles and keepsake sola wood flowers, wrapped in smooth floral sheeting, and most importantly - made with love.

Cristina Martinez is an undocumented Mexican immigrant who came to America in order to pay for her daughter's college tuition. While working at a restaurant in Philadelphia, she met fellow cook Ben Miller. The pair fell in love and when Cristina came forward about her illegal status to the restaurant owners, she was fired. After years of hard work, Cristina and Ben opened South Philly Barbacoa, with Cristina at the helm cooking the food she grew up with in her native Mexico. In 2016 they were named one of the best restaurants in America by Bon Appetit. Tune in to this special episode with chefs, restauranteurs, and activists, Ben and Cristina.
