Jess Shadbolt - Creating One Of New York's Most Loved Restaurants - The Advantages Of A Full Female Kitchen & Squeezing Bill Clinton's Ass!

In this week’s Go-To Mise en Place, we sit down with the brilliant Jess Shadbolt—co-founder of King and Jupiter, two of New York’s most adored restaurants—for a wide-ranging conversation full of warmth, wit, and wild stories. From serving Michelle Obama and Bill Clinton, to launching a restaurant with no cash but a fridge full of free samples, Jess opens up about the joyful madness of hospitality and the magic of doing things your own way. We chat about the pressures of Midtown versus the intimacy of Downtown, why her pasta with chicken livers flopped at one place and became a cult hit at the other, and how she and her all-female kitchen cultivate collaboration over ego. Jess also shares her go-to haunts in Brooklyn, why Sunday roasts are her “culinary diplomacy,” and how a quiet obsession with the perfect beans and vinaigrette turned into a five-year cookbook project. Whether you’re in the industry or just someone who dreams of opening a bistro with your best mate, this episode is full of stories that’ll make you laugh, gasp, and maybe rethink your croissant choice too. -------- Please leave us a great rating and a comment and share it with your friends - it really helps us grow as a show.If you're in the industry and are looking for the greatest POS system in the world than look no further as Blinq are tearing up the rulebook—no long-term contracts, no hidden fees, and no per-device charges.
