Hillary Sterling, Ci Siamo

On today's episode of All in the Industry®, Shari Bayer's guest is Hillary Sterling, Executive Chef at Ci Siamo, which is part of Danny Meyer's Union Square Hospitality Group, and we are on-location at her restaurant, located in Manhattan West, NYC. Born and raised in Brooklyn, Hillary first felt the pull of the industry as a teenager bussing tables during summers in Montauk, NY. Her career has since led her through NYC kitchens, including Bobby Flay’s Mesa Grill, as well as Bolo; plus, Lupa Osteria Romana, and as chef de cuisine at Michelin-starred A Voce working under Chef Missy Robbins. Most recently, Hillary returned to her domestic roots as the executive chef and partner of Vic’s. At Ci Siamo, Hillary has created an ambitious restaurant centered around live-fire cooking and the understated excellence of seasonal ingredients. Today's show also features Shari's PR tip to celebrate the power of simplicity; Speed Round; Industry News Discussion on the 'delicore' street style trend; and Solo Dining experience at Veselka, a popular Ukrainian restaurant in NYC's East Village, established in 1954, that is currently donating 100% of its proceeds from borscht to help support Ukraine. Photo Courtesy of Hillary Sterling.Listen at Heritage Radio Network; subscribe/rate/review our show at iTunes, Stitcher or Spotify.
