This week, Chelsea is sitting down with award-winning chef Mashama Bailey to look at women in the food industry – the progress we’ve made toward equality and what needs to happen next.

Mashama is the executive chef and co-founder of The Grey restaurant and The Grey Market in Savannah, Georgia and two new restaurants in Austin, Texas. She trained in New York and France, and spent many years cooking at restaurants in New York, including Gabrielle Hamilton’s Prune. She was the first African-American chef to be featured on an episode of Netflix’s Chef’s Table, and she and her business partner John O. Morisano are the co-authors of the memoir-with-recipes, “Black, White, and The Grey: The Story of an Unexpected Friendship and a Beloved Restaurant.”
