it's inspiring to speak with organizers in food and hospitality who see feeding their communities as a key step towards equity and justice. I loved this conversation I had with @chefjennydorsey of @StudioATAO on the role restaurants play in gentrification

Also, big plug to @StudioATAO's free Gentrification Toolkit, which Jenny and I spent most of our interview talking about. It's full of great tools and discussion topics for restaurant and media folks to reflect on their role in changing neighborhoods

Usher, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, and Julianne Hough will host competition series âThe Activistâ.

I wrote about a new restaurant thatâs deepened divisions in Ridgewood, what it could mean for longtime residents, and the fight over gentrification and the neighborhood's future: âYou are either for it, or youâre not â there is no in-between." grubstreet.com/2021/04/rolosâŚ
