Rita Jammet of La Caravelle Champagnes/Wines - Chief Bubble Officer

Rita Jammet has led an exotic and charmed life as the co-owner of the acclaimed La Caravelle restaurant for 20 years, as the proprietor of La Caravelle Champagnes / Wines, and as the mother of three accomplished sons (one of whom is the cofounder of Sweet Green). Rita has been an inspiration and role model for women in hospitality for decades. It’s frankly no surprise she’s now known as the Chief Bubble Officer of her company, and if New York were to have an ambassador of hospitality, Rita Jammet would be it. As well, she was "knighted" on June 17, 2019 by Madame Anne-Claire Legendre, the French Consul General in New York in the Ordre du Merite Agricole for her outstanding contribution to French Agriculture, Gastronomy, Champagne, and wine.  This prestigious award was created in 1883 and is second in importance only to the Legion of Honour. Rita joins author and chef Rozanne Gold to share her story.
