Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. 317: Finding Your Place with Gina Hoover
Q: Do you think that NA cocktails have a place on the menu?
Hoover says they do, noting that removing alcohol opens up opportunities to explore flavor and mouthfeel. She says bars should give spirit-free options thoughtful consideration and price them for the work involved.
Ep. 317: Finding Your Place with Gina Hoover
Q: What would be most helpful in our industry?
Hoover says hospitality professionals need support, especially because many enter the industry through necessity and may lack confidence. She points to Need Advice as a mentorship program that helps answer questions and support workers.
Ep. 316: Creating Change Through Cuisine with Chef Imani Jackson
Q: Can you explain to the listeners why this was an important path, first of all, for you to take? Second of all, exactly what does Blewish look like on the plate?
Jackson says Blewish grew from her desire to create an intersectional identity for a restaurant space near George Floyd Square. It combines Black and Jewish food traditions through dishes such as Bubby Balls, latkes, and brisket sandwiches.
Ep. 316: Creating Change Through Cuisine with Chef Imani Jackson
Q: How did studying human rights and justice shape the way that you view the actual act of feeding people?
Jackson says food is common ground that helps humanize people and bring them together across cultures. Her travels and studies reinforced the value of sharing meals, listening to understand, and learning from one another.
Ep. 315: Leading with Vision with Liz Lease-McCaffrey
Q: Can you tell our listeners what's your role today?
I am the Chief Revenue and Marketing Officer for Domaine Serene, overseeing the commercial business across Oregon and Burgundy properties, including Domaine Serene, Evanstad Estates, Chateau de la Cré, and Maison Evanstad.
