What does it mean to be a fishmonger? Or perhaps a sommelier with a podcast? This week on The Morning After Jessie Kiefer and Jen Tullock are figuring it out with Ian MacGregor of The Lobster Place and Levi Dalton of Ill Drink to That!. First, Jessie and Jen revisit a classic Front of House segment. Then, they jump into with Ian- the Chief Fishmonger for The Lobster Place. Find out how Ians family industry got him into the business of hocking crustaceans. How has the evolution of New York Citys neighborhoods affected the retail and wholesale food world? Later, Levi chats with Jessie and Jen about drinking wine coolers and reading Wine Spectator. What made Levi take a break from being a full-time sommelier and start his own podcast? Finally, Jen and Jessie wrap up the show with the school lunch edition of Whats on the Menu at Chardonnays? Thanks to our sponsor, S. Wallace Edwards and Sons, and thanks to Idgy Dean for todays music! The neighborhood of Chelsea had evolved so much that it became evident that I couldnt keep our wholesale business there. Rolling tractor trailers full of lobsters up 16th street isnt conducive these days. [17:00] -- Ian MacGregor on The Morning After
