Summary

Hosted by Kerry Diamond Produced by Catherine Baker and Jenna Sadhu Edited by Jenna Sadhu Music by Tralala, “All Fired Up” Once upon a time, Annie Shi was a newbie in the world of restaurants. She and partners Clare de Boer and Jess Shadbolt opened King in downtown New York with limited experience and resources, but an abundance of optimism and naivete. Thanks to their hard work and a little help from industry heavy hitters like Jonathan Waxman and Vicki Freeman, King became one of the most celebrated spots in the city. Late last year, Annie, Clare, and Jess opened their second restaurant, Jupiter, in Rockefeller Center, and are busy bringing their brand of hospitality and cuisine to a new neighborhood and clientele. Annie chats with host Kerry Diamond about growing up the child of Chinese immigrants, moving from finance to food, and becoming a first-time mom in an industry that’s not compatible with family schedules. They also talk about the upcoming King cookbook and a potential future solo project that would tap into Annie’s heritage.
