Summary

Sohui Kim is the chef and co-owner of Gage & Tollner, one of the most celebrated restaurants in New York City. It’s also one of the most historic restaurants, as it dates back to 1892. The legendary Edna Lewis cooked there in the 1980s and ‘90s, the interior and exterior are landmarked, and many New Yorkers marked important moments there. Sohui, her partners, and her team are breathing new life into the space, earning rave reviews and spots on multiple best-of lists. But this latest incarnation of Gage & Tollner almost didn’t happen because of the pandemic. Sohui joins host Kerry Diamond to talk about the resilience and community support it took to re-open the restaurant. Don’t miss their chat! Thank you to Kerrygold, makers of milk and cheese from Irish grass-fed cows, and to Sir Kensington’s and their new Fry Sauce. Radio Cherry Bombe is recorded at Newsstand Studios at Rockefeller Center in the heart of New York City. Our theme song, All Fired Up, is by the band Tralala.
