What's Happening?
Cherry Bombe, a magazine and media company focused on women in the food and drink industry, hosted its first Los Angeles Jubilee. The event took place in a downtown loft, attracting over 300 women. The Jubilee featured a series of interviews and discussions led by Cherry Bombe's founder, Kerry Diamond. Notable participants included Courtney Storer, culinary producer of 'The Bear,' cookbook author Molly Baz, and chef Nancy Silverton. The event highlighted the achievements of women in the culinary world, with discussions on topics such as gender inequality in restaurant kitchens and personal success stories.
Why It's Important?
The Cherry Bombe Jubilee serves as a platform to celebrate and empower women in the food industry, an area where gender inequality remains prevalent. Despite women making up 55% of restaurant and food service workers, only 21% of chefs are female. By focusing on women's stories and successes, the Jubilee aims to inspire and encourage more women to pursue leadership roles in the culinary field. This event also fosters networking and collaboration among women, potentially leading to new opportunities and innovations in the industry.
