Hanna Lee Communications’ Hospitality Forward Podcast spotlights the voices shaping the hospitality, food, and travel industries. In Episode 115, hosts Hanna Lee and Michael Anstendig sit down with Florence Fabricant, longtime food and wine writer for The New York Times, to discuss her more than 50-year career in journalism and the evolution of restaurant culture.

Fabricant reflects on her path into journalism, from her early work at The East Hampton Star to joining The New York Times, as well as the changing food landscape and the rise of farm-to-table dining. The conversation also explores her newly published memoir, Salty, Not Sweet, which traces the personal experiences and influences behind her career, alongside practical advice for pitching media and building relationships with journalists.

With more than 13 cookbooks and decades of industry insight, Fabricant offers a perspective on the people, places, and shifts that have shaped food and hospitality.
