Thomas PastuszakGUEST
So really to fast forward it, going from Ithaca to New York was because I think I felt so passionately about wine.
Thomas PastuszakGUEST
And when I was all of a sudden there were hospitality opportunities coming up, like Tom Colicchio, chef was looking for somebody to run that wine program.
Thomas PastuszakGUEST
And my friend Robert, who was helping him to consult on his programs then, we met through wine tastings and through mutual connections.
Thomas PastuszakGUEST
And I think initially I was probably thinking, I would want to do something in hospitality, stay in the Finger Lakes and maybe create a few restaurants and, you know, do something with that.
Justin GurlandGUEST
Yeah.
Justin GurlandGUEST

Mm-hmm
Justin GurlandGUEST
... and his restaurant Craft in New York.

Adeena SussmanGUEST
I started seeing Melissa Clark's name on every cookbook of other chefs that I knew and admired and realized that cookbook co-authoring was a job.
Adeena SussmanGUEST
And I was like, who is this woman and why is her name on Danielle Boulud's book? Why is her name on Tom Colicchio's book? Everyone's book.
Adeena SussmanGUEST
And so...
Adeena SussmanGUEST
Another token fell and I said maybe I could do that job.

Okay, so if this whole Hungry business sounds like a good idea to you, you're not alone.

Dan BovaHOST
Not too shabby.
Dan BovaHOST
So, Jeff, how did that all come together?
