In the fall of 2021, I launched the Prix Fixe Podcast, featuring conversations with people working in the culinary world. The first season’s eleven episodes cover a wide swath of characters that make up a catalog I’m proud to look back on.
I now have another big load of interviews on the way for you, underneath the official banner of “Season Two".” You’ll notice more of my voice in these episodes. And that is thanks to my friend and first guest, Katherine Lewin - who is the founder of BIG NIGHT a New York-based brick and mortar selling everything you need for an epic dinner party - food, drink, kitchenware, glassware, etc - all brilliantly curated from talented makers from across the world. The whole store - store is the wrong noun here, the whole “experience” that is Big Night is a triumphant reflection of her creativity is a personal inspiration to witness.
While attending one of Katherine’s in-person events at Big Night, I met Stacey Mei Yan Fang who chatted with me about her ‘50 Pies, 50 States’ project — a book chronicling her adventure in pie making through meaningful experiences shared with friends across all fifty states. I had to know more. We met up in Prospect Park amidst a dreamy summer rain shower to record an interview. It was a ton of fun to hear her perspective before the book’s launch. Since then, the book has been published and she’s been absolutely blowing up.
Both the episodes are available below or wherever you listen to podcasts.
