Serving the Pandemic with Marcus Samuelsson
Politics of Food
04/14/21 • 50 min
The wake of the Pandemic of 2020 hit the restaurant industry with full force. Struggling restaurant owners asked for a bailout, but a sluggish and insufficient response from our government left them to fend for themselves, some closed their businesses forever, others hung on through the storm. Workers faced high rates of unemployment, and sometimes even dealt with wage theft. In this episode Cristina speaks with acclaimed chef, author and owner of Red Rooster Harlem about the effects of COVID-19 on his business, his neighborhood, and his mission to see them both survive and thrive moving forward. We also talk with Cristina’s sister, Roxana Gonzalez Martinez, about her personal experience as a server during this time and how it's affected her family and their livelihood - she'll also offer advice to those in the same boat.

Farming’s Pandemic

While many of us were isolated during the pandemic we watched news reports about how some of our nation's farmers were forced to dump their products when customers like schools and restaurants no longer needed the supply. Leave it to amazing, problem solving women like this week's guests to forge new connections and make good things happen for folks in their communities. Up first, State Senator Jessica Ramos of Queens, NY, joins Cristina and tells us about the partnership she co-created with upstate farms to provide food and goods to her neighbors in need. Then, Cristina speaks with Julia Coffey, owner of MyCoterra Farm in Massachusetts, who transformed her business overnight into an online distribution system that saved her business and supported other farmers in her community.

Restaurant workers are some of the most vulnerable people in the workforce, so how do we examine and destroy the culture of abuse when workers don’t feel safe reporting it? In the first half of the show Cristina talks with Eater.com Editor Monica Burton to discuss her experience writing about the movement. Then, Cristina talks to Trish Nelson who bravely shares her experience of abuse by her boss at New York City Eatery, Spotted Pig.

A Perfect Storm
Politics of Food

85% of food consumed in Puerto Rico is imported to the island. How does food dependence on the US mainland affect the relationship between the two? How does the addition of a Category 5 Hurricane affect an already perilous system? Cristina talks with Tara Rodriguez Besosa, an organizer and architect about creating a non-profit collective there called El Departmento de la Comida, and its mission to create agroecological concepts that can be used to create resilience through food sovereignty on the island and beyond. In the second half of the show Cristina talks with Chef Alejandro Perez, who started working with World Central Kitchen, an organization that responds to global emergencies, literally after Hurricane Maria hit and devastated his hometown. Chef also tells us what drives him to continue his work providing much needed food relief and comfort to survivors and aid workers on a global level with WCK.
