31: On chef awards, food festivals and inclusivity in the dining world with chef Lina Caschetto and restaurateur Sabrina Goldin

In a time when award-winning chefs are giving up their Michelin stars and more and more diners use their everyday tools like Instagram to plan where to eat, what’s the value of the guidebook? Has Le Fooding’s merger with Michelin impact the direction of lists and rankings? I talk about this with guests Lina Caschetto, formerly the chef at Cantina, and Sabrina Goldin, the co-owner of Cantina, Carbon and the Asado Club. We also discuss food festivals, women in the industry and what needs to change to make dining a more inclusive business.
