Cracking Gender Barriers in Food Media + Tzatziki Sauce with Andrew Galarneau

This episode of Women in Food is unique as one of the rare times I interview a “man in food” — food writer and journalist, Andrew Galarneau. During this conversation we dance between topics like an innovative take on cooking eggs to the complexity of gender inequality in the culinary industry. Andrew lays bare what he sees is the sobering truth of women's underrepresentation in professional kitchens and the obstacles they face, from systemic discrimination to the difficulties in establishing their own ventures.

Along the way, we take a short culinary tour through Buffalo's diverse food scene, as Andrew shines a light on the importance of supporting immigrant-owned eateries. He also shares some super practical advice for those in the food business on making their mark with media professionals and the importance of clear communication with strong business acumen. Andrew tops it off with his story and accompanying recipe for Yiayia’s Tzatziki Sauce.

This was a serious yet enlightening dialogue, providing insight into both the joy of gastronomy and the critical issues that shape the industry. Tune in for this rich blend of flavorful stories and essential conversations on the path forward for women in food
