Episode description
Dan is live on stage in Memphis with famed local restaurateur Karen Blockman Carrier! Karen grew up Orthodox Jewish in Memphis, and she wanted to be a painter. But after a chance meeting with a caterer in a smoke-filled bathroom stall in New York City, she decided to focus on food. Karen shares the twists and turns of her life, from a disastrous day working for Martha Stewart, to reinventing the Memphis dining scene with eclectic restaurants in an old Victorian home and a former hair salon, to a private chef gig for Tom Cruise.
The Sporkful production team includes Dan Pashman, Emma Morgenstern, Andres O’Hara, Jared O'Connell, and Giulia Leo. Publishing by Shantel Holder.
