Oct 13, 2026: Voices from the Kitchen: A Conversation with Lisette Nieves and Chef Marc Meyer

What happens when we look beyond the plate and listen to the people who make our food possible?

Join us for a special book talk featuring Lisette Nieves and Chef Marc Meyer exploring Voices from the Kitchen and the stories, experiences, and people that shape the culinary world.

Kitchens are places of creativity and connection, but they are also workplaces shaped by leadership, opportunity, culture, collaboration, and the people whose labor keeps them moving. Voices from the Kitchen brings those human experiences to the forefront, inviting us to think more deeply about the people behind the food we enjoy.

During this conversation, Lisette Nieves and Chef Marc Meyer will take us beyond the pages of the book to explore the stories and ideas that inspired it. Together, they’ll discuss the realities of working in the culinary industry, the importance of listening to the people within it, and what their experiences can teach us about leadership, community, and creating workplaces where people can thrive.
