Mashama Bailey and Johno Morisano Talk About Developing Trust and Reckoning with History - a podcast by Food & Wine Pro

When Mashama Bailey and Johno Morisano sat down for this conversation, they had no idea that their restaurant, The Grey in Savannah, Georgia, was about to make Food&Wine and Travel + Leisure's list of the world's best restaurants. To anyone who's dined in the converted, formerly segregated Greyhound bus station, that news may be a thrill, but not a shock. Bailey, a recent James Beard award winner, has come into her own, cooking food that encompasses her own family's Southern history, melded with the disparate and complicated influences of the region, her French training, and her time in New York City cooking at restaurants like Gabrielle Hamilton's legendary Prune. Together with business partner Morisano, Bailey reckons with the building and city's painful past, and builds a more inclusive future, plate by plate.
