When I step onto the mat, I feel fear, but I remember the countless hours spent in training that helped unearth strength I didn't know I had.

Minneapolis has a 200-year history of embracing newly arrived immigrants, leading to a remarkably diverse food scene that utilizes the region's agricultural bounty.

Baking cakes started out as a college hobby. I'd make them for my sorority sisters and, once word got out, the broader Dallas community.

If you don't get your stuff together, you're not going to graduate with your friends. After struggling through high school, the then-17-year-old Ramdass wanted to ensure she would graduate with her friends. Heading to a local Barnes and Noble bookstore, Ramdass had one goal: Buy a book, because at that age, she had never read a novel from start to finish.

The James Beard Foundation Awards have long been considered one of the most prestigious awards in the food and hospitality industry, recognizing outstanding restaurants and chefs from across the country.

Few founders get to revisit the decisions they made when they first scaled their company the way Jaclyn Johnson did. Johnson bootstrapped Create & Cultivate from a side project in 2012 into a multi-million-dollar media and events platform for ambitious women, then sold a majority stake to private equity in 2021 in a deal valued at about $22 million. Three years later, after watching the company struggle under new ownership, she did something far rarer: She bought it back.

I've achieved all this while flying nearly every 'red flag' that people say is antithetical to a successful academic career. I am a woman, am young-ish for an academic, have three children (now aged 9, 12 and 14), have moved internationally for my education and career, have worked in industry and now work in interdisciplinary research.

"A cultural shift was needed on the job sites-not only in the minds of the workers, but also in the physical layout of a site. It may sound trivial, but placing two porta-potties at a build site instead of just one that everyone uses-measures like that are important for developing an inclusive culture."

The expense, return on investment, and volume of investors needed to make it a reality did not make sense. I thought, 'maybe it's time to do something new.' The amount of money you need to run a restaurant in Brooklyn or Manhattan at this point is so crazy. If you fail, the loss is massive. Here, we were able to do a major renovation, we have a 100 bottle wine list, and we can use the ingredients we want and serve them at a decent price point because our overhead is not as bad.

Media buying refers to the process of purchasing advertising space across various platforms, including social media, search engines, and traditional media. It's about strategically placing ads where they will reach the target audience effectively.

These leadership changes are not just about new faces; they signify a shift towards culinary creativity that prioritizes sustainability, local sourcing, and unique flavor profiles. As industry leaders, these chefs are setting the stage for a culinary renaissance that will engage diners and elevate their dining experiences.

Historically, architectural culture has been organized around narratives of singular authorship and individual recognition. These frameworks often obscure the collaborative nature of design and marginalize contributors who do not occupy positions of institutional authority. Women architects have long participated in shaping buildings, cities, and architectural discourse, yet their work has frequently been overlooked or attributed to partners, firms, or broader teams.

It's called the Protein Power-Up Shop and the premise is simple: bring along whatever you were planning to eat (or admit you were going to skip lunch entirely), then take a quick on-site "protein personality quiz" and walk out with a freshly-made, ready-to-eat meal that's much more grown-up than your usual noon-hour scramble. There will be truffle butter filet mignon, peanut Buddha bowls, parmesan and sun-dried tomato chicken penne, plus vegan options for plant-based lunchers.

Live Kitchen fosters encounters between humans and non-humans, creating an ecosystem of harmony that questions contemporary urban ways of living through art and food.

After releasing her cookbook Rambutan, celebrating the food of Sri Lanka and her Tamil roots, Cynthia Shanmugalingam opened a restaurant of the same name in Borough in 2023. Rambutan received rave reviews almost immediately and has built a rep for being one of the best Sri Lankan restaurants in town thanks to dishes like mutton rolls, saffron chicken pongal rice, and kottu roti with crab and chilli butter.
