Host Sal Castaneda sits down with two of the Bay Area's most respected chef-owners, Tony Gemignani of Tony's Pizza Napoletana and Capo's, and Kathy Fang of House of Nanking and Fang, for a candid, behind-the-scenes look at the restaurant industry.

The panel features:



Tony Gemignani: Chef-Owner of multiple restaurants, known for his award-winning pizzas.




Kathy Fang: Chef-Owner and Author, known for modern Chinese cuisine.




We dive into what it's like to run a thriving restaurant, covering topics such as: the pressure on American restaurants to turn tables versus the European slow-dining experience; the business of managing big group dinners and buyouts; the impact and evolution of celebrity chefs; the contentious culture of food influencers and food photography ("feeding the gram"); the age-old debate over pineapple on pizza; whether a well-done steak is ever acceptable; the high cost and quality of food at sports venues; and the truth about secret family recipes.
