Episode 149: The End of Restaurants as We Knew Them with Corey Mintz

Corey Mintz is a freelance food reporter (New York Times, Globe and Mail, Eater, and others), focusing on the intersection between what we eat with business, politics, farming, ethics, land use, labor, education and culture. He has been a cook and a restaurant critic. For his long-running column Fed, he hosted 192 dinner parties, featuring politicians, refugees, criminals, artists, academics, acupuncturists, high-rise window washers, competitive barbecuers, and one monkey. He is the author of two and a half books. He lives in Winnipeg with his wife and daughter. In the episode we discuss his new book: The Next Supper. We talk about the responsibility chefs have on ensuring cooks are able to leave when needed for better career opportunities. We then discuss how unrealistically expensive it is for most people to stage, immigrant restaurants, gig economy jobs and much more.  Link to Corey's Book/Website: https://coreymintz.ca/ Twitter: @coreymintz Instagram: @coreymintz Line Cook Thoughts Blog/Merchandise: linecookthoughts.com
