    Katherine Lewin of Big Night (S2)

    Meet Katherine Lewin. She is one of my oldest friends dating all the way back nearly 30 years ago, when we first met in preschool. She’s always been a kindred spirit, particularly when it comes to food. In high school, she had an encyclopedic knowledge of every worthwhile restaurant in our hometown - a characteristic which I thought to be extremely cool. After working in fashion and as the editor for a major food journalism outlet, Katherine opened BIG NIGHT - a New York-based brick and mortar selling everything you need for an epic dinner party - food, drink, kitchenware, glassware, etc. Everything is brilliantly curated from talented makers from across the world. While there are many choices out there to procure dinner party materials, it’s Katherine’s personal touch that sets Big Night apart. Katherine is the domestic goddess you want curating your home, your kitchen, your dinner party. She is also one of the most tasteful people I know. The whole store - store is the wrong noun here, the whole “experience” that is Big Night is a triumphant reflection of her creativity is a personal inspiration to witness. If you live in or are visiting New York City, make a point to check out either of her two locations in Greenpoint or the West Village.

    Jacqueline Blanchard of Coutelier and Sukeban (S1)

    Jacqueline Blanchard is a 10th generation Cajun from Bayou Lafourche in Southeast Louisiana’s Assumption Parish. Her family fled Nova Scotia during the Acadian exile and settled into the Lafourche Valley in the late 1700’s as farmers, and they’ve been there ever since. Cooking has always been in the fabric of her family - taking part in traditions such as crawfish boils in the Spring and the old Cajun boucheries each fall. Her star studded resume' includes working alongside the best of the best at Benu, Bouchon, and Blue Hill at Stone Barns, all while intensely traveling across Asia whenever her schedule allowed. In 2015, she moved back home to New Orleans to open Coutelier, a highly curated knife shop focusing on hand forged Japanese cutlery - a business decision she felt was based on the needs of her peers and fellow cooking community of South Louisiana. She and her business partner travel annually to Japan, sourcing the tools of this ancient craft they have come to foster an immense respect and understanding towards. Their goal is to support and promote the unrivaled focus of the multi-generation craftsmanship executed by Japanese blacksmiths who hand forge professional cutlery and tools for their culinary community. Her love for Japanese culture and cuisine and technique has deepened immensely along the way, and she will be opening her first restaurant, Sukeban in Spring of 2022.
