Episode 35: New American Cuisine prepared by New Americans: Emma's Torch Restaurant in Brooklyn

Kerry Brodie, founder and executive director of Emma’s Torch, joins us at the mic. Emma’s Torch is a nonprofit restaurant, café, and catering business in Brooklyn, New York that provides culinary training and job placement services to refugees and survivors of human trafficking. Kerry and her restaurant have been featured in world renown media such as the New Yorker, Rachel Ray, the New York Times, and Vogue Magazine, to name a few. Kerry walks us through the process of how students can enter the program, what happens, and where they can go after they graduate the program. Kerry, having had no business background or knowledge, was able to pursue a dream of empowering individuals over the one thing that brings us all together: food. Gordon Ramsey or Kerry Brodie? I vote Kerry!
