On this week’s GoalChat, we had a palette-cleanser conversation; I talked about the business of food with Celebrity Chef Katie Chin, host of Bagels & Banter Jessica Fishenfeld; and founder of BakeBot.ai and Bakespace Babette Pepaj. In addition to extoling the virtues and universality of food, the panel swapped food memories, disaster stories, and more.
Why Be in the Business of Food
- Jessica: Bagel and bagel adjacent opportunities
- Babette: It’s a super niche, food is something people need every day
- Katie: It brings together the most loving, kind people
Bonus Benefits of Working Food-Adjacent
- Jess: Connecting to my culture
- Katie: You get to meet so many awesome people
- Babette: We have helped many charities through our food events
