This week on the FoodCrush podcast, we caught up with Valeri Lucks, co-owner of Honeypie Cafe, SmallPie, Palomino and Comet Cafe about industry life, her career and exciting things on the horizon.
During our chat, we discuss Honeypie Cafe’s big move, the way Lucks is working toward fair compensation for both front and back of house employees and her full circle decision to re-assume ownership for Comet Cafe, a restaurant she and her brother Adam Lucks helped to transform in 2005 (and operated together for a decade). She also offers insights into what guests will be able to expect from the cafe when it reopens later this year.
