Today?s guest is Nadia Caterina Munno, the glamorous Dolce & Gabbana-wearing gourmet known to millions of fans as The Pasta Queen. She?s built a following for her fashion-forward, high-energy recipe videos in which she shares the secrets to one classic Italian dish after another.

In this episode, host Kerry Diamond speaks with Nadia about the ?blasphemous lasagna? recipe on TikTok that inspired her to share her own videos, her love for Marcella Hazan, the grandmother who inspired her entrepreneurial journey, and why she?s a fan of Martha Stewart. 

They also talk about Nadia?s new line of pasta sauces, her recipes and tips for pastina, gnocchi, and pasta al sugo, and her advice for c-suite executives (Nadia was in marketing and PR before becoming The Pasta Queen).

Today?s guest is Chef Karla Hoyos, a long-time volunteer for World Central Kitchen and the founder of Tacotomia in Miami. The interview took place several weeks before the tragedy in Gaza in which seven of Karla?s World Central Kitchen colleagues were killed (if you?d like to contribute to the World Central Kitchen GoFundMe for the families of those killed, visit here).

Karla herself was in the region last year with the organization. Over the past several years, she has worked as part of World Central Kitchen?s disaster response teams in Bangladesh, Poland, Puerto Rico, Haiti, Spain, and beyond. 

At the same time, Karla was working to fulfill her dream of opening a spot in Miami that would pay homage to her Mexican upbringing. Last year, she opened Tacotomia in the Julia & Henry?s food hall and has used the opportunity to hire women and immigrants in need of work. Experience is great, she says, but not entirely necessary. Karla has three questions she asks her job candidates: ?Are you a good person? Do you want to learn? Can I trust you??

Stay tuned to learn about Karla?s roots in Mexico, how she became involved with World Central Kitchen, and what Tacotomia is all about.

?You gotta believe there?s a little magic sometimes,? says Liza Cólon-Zayas, who plays Tina on the hit series ?The Bear.? A native of the Bronx, Liza wanted to act from a young age and was encouraged by her family. After studying at SUNY Albany, she worked in theater and appeared in everything from ?Law & Order? to ?Sex and the City,? but a major recurring role eluded her. Liza estimates that she?s been rejected thousands of times over her decades-long career. 

When Liza was finally cast as the scrappy sandwich shop cook in the pilot for ?The Bear,? alongside Jeremy Allen White and Ayo Edebiri, it turned out to be her big break. The show became a hit with critics and viewers and was recently renewed for a third season. ?I will never be casual about it,? Liza tells host Kerry Diamond. ?I know what it?s like to hustle and hustle.?

On today?s episode, Liza discusses why ?The Bear? resonates so deeply with the hospitality industry, preparing for the role of Tina, dealing with rejection, Christmas in Puerto Rico, why she?d be trapped on a desert island with Anthony Bourdain, and more.

This Friday marks the release of ?Wonka,? a musical starring Timothée Chalamet that tells the origin story of beloved candy maker Willy Wonka. To celebrate, we?re dipping into the Radio Cherry Bombe vault for our interview with the woman who inspired the original ?Willy Wonka? film, Madeline Stuart. 

Young Madeline loved ?Charlie and the Chocolate Factory? so much, she suggested to her dad that the Roald Dahl classic children?s book would make a great movie. Fortunately, for legions of ?Willy Wonka? fans, Madeline?s dad was director and documentarian Mel Stuart. He gave his daughter $50 for the idea and the rest is Hollywood history. 

Madeline joins host Kerry Diamond to talk about the story behind the movie, what it was like on set in Munich, the Quaker Oats connection, her father?s relationship with Dahl, the casting of Gene Wilder (over the stars of ?Monty Python? and others), and more. They also talk about Madeline?s career as a celebrated interior designer and her book, ?No Place Like Home: Interiors by Madeline Stuart.?

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. 

Want to read more about tipping culture? Here?s Vince Dixon?s Eater article.
