Hosted by Kerry Diamond\nProduced by Catherine Baker and Jenna Sadhu\nEdited by Jenna Sadhu\nMusic by Tralala, \u201cAll Fired Up\u201d\n\nSarah Thomas never could have predicted her career path. She studied English Renaissance literature at Cambridge, worked as a sommelier at the highly regarded Le Bernardin restaurant after getting a surprise job offer, and then, at the suggestion of a friend, co-founded Kalamata\u2019s Kitchen, a platform that inspires children to experience the world through adventures with food.\n\nToday, Sarah is \u201cchief imaginator\u201d of Kalamata\u2019s Kitchen, and is helping children understand different cuisines and cultures, something she wishes existed when she was a young girl in the school lunchroom hiding the food she brought from home.\n\nSarah joins host Kerry Diamond to talk about the Le Bernardin dinner that changed her life, her love of books, the importance of saying \u201cyes,\u201d and lots more. \n\nThank you to Whole Foods Market, Chia Smash, and La Rossi Pizza for supporting today\u2019s show.
