How can refugees be helped to enter the US job market? And what's food got to do with it? We talk with Kerry Brodie about Emma's Torch, a Brooklyn restaurant that offers culinary training to refugees, asylum-seekers and victims of trafficking. We then visit with Thu Pham, an Emma's Torch graduate, at her new place of work, Lot 2 restaurant. We also get a chance to talk with Lot 2 owner Danny Rojo.
