black food folks

On today's episode of All in the Industry®, Shari Bayer's guest is Clay Williams, a Brooklyn-based photographer specializing in food, drinks and events.  Clay has over a decade of experience documenting the ins and out of our industry, shooting for The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, James Beard Foundation and more.  His photos can also be found in the book, 111 Places in Queens That You Must Not Miss. Clay is the co-founder of Black Food Folks, a fellowship of Black food and drink professionals, a place to come together and share information.  Since the pandemic, it's also become a virtual community gathering space and a media platform to amplify voices of those often ignored. Today's show also features Shari's PR tip - to persevere; Industry News discussion; and Solo Dining experience at Ollie's PIzza in High Falls, NY.

This dynamic duo is taking the food world by storm. Sicily Sierra and Mavis-Jay Sanders, partners in life and in business, are the founders of Food + People, a packaged goods company poised for growth that focuses on quality food, great flavor, and simplicity in the kitchen. They’re also the hosts of the IG Live show Drink Tank on @blackfoodfolks, where you can find them serving up candor and cocktails every Monday night. On today’s show, hear Sicily and Mavis-Jay share the story behind their company, their journeys through the world of food, and the details on their Maison Yaki pop-up launching today in Brooklyn. (They had us at meatloaf burgers.) We also get the details on their meet-cute story, which involves pricy pudding, food trucks, and the city of Los Angeles.
