Camilla Marcus is redefining restaurant culture with her popular New York restaurant West~bourne which pays homage to her California upbringing. “Accidentally vegetarian, decidedly wholesome,” it is on track to become the first zero waste certified restaurant in Manhattan. A departure from traditional hierarchical restaurant organizations, everyone in West~bourne is cross trained to perform all jobs, including doing the dishes. The result is a culture of passionate employees who subscribe to the company’s tenet of curiosity. Join me for an enlightening chat with Camilla to find out why she believes almond milk is on its way out, why she thinks heirloom mushrooms are the next kale and why you should start carrying a handkerchief.   Produced by Dear Media.
