About this episode
Marguerite Zabar Mariscal started as an intern at Momofuku in 2011, working her way through the influential restaurant group founded by David Chang all the way to the position of CEO, which she has held since 2019. On this entertaining episode, we speak about Marguerite’s journey from growing up a Zabar (that is, New York City grocery royalty) to running Momofuku’s sprawling restaurant and consumer packaged goods business, all while working side by side with the famously difficult and impossibly genius David Chang. It’s so good catching up with one of the brightest stars in the food world today. Also on the show, Matt shares about his recent trip to Palm Springs, California . Palm Springs has good food? Indeed! He shares his visit to French Miso Café , Bar Cecil , Billy Reed's , and some thoughts on the homes of Palm Springs via the amazing Mod Squad mid-century architecture tours.
