Missed our James Beard Panel?
Our most recent James Beard panel “It Takes a Village” navigated the challenges and triumphs of balancing parenthood with a career in the demanding restaurant industry. With our esteemed panelists, we explored strategies for achieving work-life balance, nurturing family connections, and fostering a supportive community within the culinary culture.
Research conducted with It’s Working Project informed our questions and led us to candid conversations about the struggles at the heart of this nationwide issue. The survey taken by national sample parents in the industry showcased how overwhelming and career-damaging the lack of access to childcare continues to be, a truth echoed by our panelists. Additional needs included flexible schedules, more benefits, mental health services, and more.
