Welcome to Restaurant (R)evolution, our new miniseries dedicated to those doing things differently in the hospitality industry. In these episodes, Radio Cherry Bombe host Kerry Diamond will be talking to folks changing and challenging the rules of the restaurant world and learn what they’re doing and why.

Today’s guest is chef and restaurant owner Angie Mar of Le B in New York’s West Village. Angie famously closed her restaurant The Beatrice Inn after the landlord raised her rent too high, and opened Les Trois Chevaux, a fine-dining establishment, right next door. Last month, she opened a new concept there, Le B, and announced Les Trois Chevaux would re-open uptown. 

Angie joins host Kerry Diamond to talk about embracing change, leaning into creativity, leading with emotion, learning on the job, and more.

Klancy Miller’s brand new book, “For the Culture: Phenomenal Black Women and Femmes in Food,” spotlights more than 60 individuals shaping the hospitality world today, and pays tribute to the trailblazers who made it all possible, including Edna Lewis and B. Smith. Klancy joins host Kerry Diamond to talk about them, as well as some of the current trailblazers featured in “For the Culture,” from culinary creative Sophia Roe to wine and travel pro Julia Coney. 

Klancy also discusses the making of the book and her love of France, and she shares some remembrances of her late mother, Rose, who inspired her love of food and who Klancy calls “an architect of happiness.” “For the Culture” is dedicated to both of her parents.

Welcome to Restaurant (R)evolution, our new miniseries dedicated to those doing things differently in the industry. Over the next few weeks, Radio Cherry Bombe host Kerry Diamond will be talking to folks changing and challenging the rules of the restaurant world to learn what they’re doing and why.

Today’s guest is Amanda Cohen, chef and owner of Dirt Candy, the vegetable-forward restaurant in New York City. Amanda is known for her plant-forward cuisine, but she’s also made a name for herself as someone not afraid to take on the system, especially when it comes to gratuities. Because of tipping’s problematic realities, Amanda is resolutely anti-tipping. When she moved Dirt Candy to a bigger location in 2015, she set out to make things more equitable between her front and back of house, provide a true living wage, and show that there’s an alternative to the pervasive gratuity culture. 

Tune in to learn how she did it. Amanda also shares her advice on what to do if you’re thinking of opening a restaurant today and gives a peek at her upcoming fall menu.

We’re re-airing one of this year’s most popular episodes, our interview with Padma Lakshmi.

Padma is brilliant, fearless, and currently experiencing the kind of success her younger self could only dream of. The second season of her Hulu show, Taste The Nation With Padma Lakshmi, dropped this spring. In it, she examines America’s foodways and the history behind them. Padma is, of course, best known as the host of Bravo’s Top Chef, currently in its 20th season.* In April, Padma was named to the Time 100 List of the year’s most influential newsmakers and was featured in this year’s Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue—the one with Martha Stewart on the cover.  

*In June, Padma announced she was leaving the cast of Top Chef.
