Hillary Dixler Canavan, restaurant editor of Eater, joins host Kerry Diamond to talk about the debut book from the famous food media outlet, “Eater: 100 Essential Restaurant Recipes From the Authority on Where to Eat and Why It Matters.” Hillary shares how the cookbook—and Eater’s seven-book deal—came to be and how the restaurants in the book were chosen. She also shares her journey from theater to restaurants to Eater, and talks about some pivotal food media moments she was involved with, including the one that led to Cherry Bombe’s Jubilee conference.
