?You gotta believe there?s a little magic sometimes,? says Liza Cólon-Zayas, who plays Tina on the hit series ?The Bear.? A native of the Bronx, Liza wanted to act from a young age and was encouraged by her family. After studying at SUNY Albany, she worked in theater and appeared in everything from ?Law & Order? to ?Sex and the City,? but a major recurring role eluded her. Liza estimates that she?s been rejected thousands of times over her decades-long career. 

When Liza was finally cast as the scrappy sandwich shop cook in the pilot for ?The Bear,? alongside Jeremy Allen White and Ayo Edebiri, it turned out to be her big break. The show became a hit with critics and viewers and was recently renewed for a third season. ?I will never be casual about it,? Liza tells host Kerry Diamond. ?I know what it?s like to hustle and hustle.?

On today?s episode, Liza discusses why ?The Bear? resonates so deeply with the hospitality industry, preparing for the role of Tina, dealing with rejection, Christmas in Puerto Rico, why she?d be trapped on a desert island with Anthony Bourdain, and more.

This Friday marks the release of ?Wonka,? a musical starring Timothée Chalamet that tells the origin story of beloved candy maker Willy Wonka. To celebrate, we?re dipping into the Radio Cherry Bombe vault for our interview with the woman who inspired the original ?Willy Wonka? film, Madeline Stuart. 

Young Madeline loved ?Charlie and the Chocolate Factory? so much, she suggested to her dad that the Roald Dahl classic children?s book would make a great movie. Fortunately, for legions of ?Willy Wonka? fans, Madeline?s dad was director and documentarian Mel Stuart. He gave his daughter $50 for the idea and the rest is Hollywood history. 

Madeline joins host Kerry Diamond to talk about the story behind the movie, what it was like on set in Munich, the Quaker Oats connection, her father?s relationship with Dahl, the casting of Gene Wilder (over the stars of ?Monty Python? and others), and more. They also talk about Madeline?s career as a celebrated interior designer and her book, ?No Place Like Home: Interiors by Madeline Stuart.?

Welcome to Restaurant (R)evolution, our new miniseries dedicated to those doing things differently in the industry. Over the next few weeks, Radio Cherry Bombe host Kerry Diamond will be talking to folks changing and challenging the rules of the restaurant world to learn what they?re doing and why.

Today?s guest is Amanda Cohen, chef and owner of Dirt Candy, the vegetable-forward restaurant in New York City. Amanda is known for her plant-forward cuisine, but she?s also made a name for herself as someone not afraid to take on the system, especially when it comes to gratuities. Because of tipping?s problematic realities, Amanda is resolutely anti-tipping. When she moved Dirt Candy to a bigger location in 2015, she set out to make things more equitable between her front and back of house, provide a true living wage, and show that there?s an alternative to the pervasive gratuity culture. 

Tune in to learn how she did it. Amanda also shares her advice on what to do if you?re thinking of opening a restaurant today and gives a peek at her upcoming fall menu.

For more than two decades, Caroline Styne has been a force in the L.A. restaurant world. She and her business partner, Chef Suzanne Goin, opened restaurants including Lucques and a.o.c. that defined what we think of as California food today: small plates, market-driven menus, relaxed elegance, and organic wines. She?s a business whiz with a lot on her plate: she?s the President and Wine Director of her hospitality company The Lucques Group, which manages two a.o.c. locations, a baking business, two restaurants at The Proper Hotel in Downtown L.A., and the concessions for the 17,000-seat Hollywood Bowl. 

In today?s episode, Caroline talks with host Kerry Diamond about her career, her hospitality group, and how the L.A. restaurant scene is fairing in the midst of the writers? and actors? strikes. They also talk about something very close to her heart: L.A.

Once upon a time, Annie Shi was a newbie in the world of restaurants. She and partners Clare de Boer and Jess Shadbolt opened King in downtown New York with limited experience and resources, but an abundance of optimism and naivete. Thanks to their hard work and a little help from industry heavy hitters like Jonathan Waxman and Vicki Freeman, King became one of the most celebrated spots in the city. Late last year, Annie, Clare, and Jess opened their second restaurant, Jupiter, in Rockefeller Center, and are busy bringing their brand of hospitality and cuisine to a new neighborhood and clientele. 

Annie chats with host Kerry Diamond about growing up the child of Chinese immigrants, moving from finance to food, and becoming a first-time mom in an industry that?s not compatible with family schedules. They also talk about the upcoming King cookbook and a potential future solo project that would tap into Annie?s heritage.
