In this episode we talk to Meridith Ford, recovered actor, former food critic and food marketer, and now the owner of Cremalosa gelateria. She'll give us some insights on how hard it really is to be a food critic - hint: it’s not just about eating out.  And she’ll tell us how to make a new cocktail with gin and beautiful French liqueur - a martini she calls a “Flying High.” Meridith tells us how a degree in Food Marketing turned into a career as a dining critic, and how she pivoted when the pandemic shut everything down just a month after she opened her new shop.  It’s a sweeeeeet conversation, just like the gelato she makes every day!
