Hi, everyone, happy and I'm your host, Carrie Diamond. The Cherry Bomb team is taking a little break, so we're sharing our top episodes of 2021. Today, we'll hear from Mashama Bailey, the chef and co-owner of the Grey, who I spoke with this time last year.

she co-authored with her business partner, John Morasano, that was published a year ago, titled

0:44.1

Black, White and the Gray, the Story of an Unexpected Friendship and a Beloved Restaurant. It is a very

0:50.2

unique book. If you love reading about the industry, it's a perfect book for you, but it goes

0:55.1

way beyond the story of how this restaurant came to be. It touches on race, gender, and relationships

1:00.5

too. And Mashama and Janow go back and forth, each telling their side of the story. I've never

1:06.4

read a book quite like it, and I enjoyed it immensely. It's also a good book to read if you are thinking about

opening a restaurant, and I know some of you are. Stay tuned for my chat with Mashama. Thank you to

about beautiful bake goods and the creatives behind them, like Claire Safitz, who so many of you

know and love from YouTube. You can pick up a copy at your favorite local bookstore, magazine

shop, or specialty store, places like Fan Fan Donuts in Brooklyn Brooklyn or Ladisette Bakery in San Francisco.

Pick up a magazine and some bake goods. It sounds like the perfect outing. You can find a list of
