Camilla Marcus is the Chef/Founder of west~bourne in SoHo, co-founder of Relief Opportunities for All Restaurants (ROAR) and founding member of the Independent Restaurant Coalition (IRC). Camilla loved food and restaurants from a young age, but realized her passion for the hospitality industry while in culinary school when she figured out that food/restaurants are really the meeting of art and commerce. Camilla has worked in many roles at restaurants across New York City, opened up a place of her very own and has become a true leader and advocate in the industry. Camilla chats with host Danielle about the important societal and economic impact of restaurants, building coalitions to support independent restaurant owners during the pandemic, how restaurants can support inclusivity and diversity within the industry and how we can rethink hospitality and the labor structure as a whole.
