Soleil catches up with Oakland chef and restaurateur Preeti Mistry, and they chat about culinary school, how the food industry falls short of its meritocratic ideals, the culture of abuse in restaurants, and what it means to live your politics. Zahir gets really into the punniness of Mistry’s book, The Juhu Beach Club Cookbook. 

 

Produced by Juan Ramirez. Music by Blue Dot Sessions and AF the Naysayer.
