My guest on this week's podcast is Brian Keyser, owner of Casellula, a cheese and wine focused restaurant in Hell's Kitchen neighborhood of Manhattan. Brian is a veteran of both the restaurant industry and the artisan cheese world, and I hope you enjoy and learn from hearing his story.
You can visit Casellula at west 52nd street and 9th avenue. It's a wonderful place to meet a friend, go alone for a glass of wine and a cheese plate, or catch a pre or post theater meal.

This episode is dedicate to Anne Saxelby, a woman I greatly admired and was honred to have worked for and learned from. Anne passed away unexpectedly on October 9, 2021, Anne was an incredible human being, mother, friend, entrepreneur and the woman behind Saxelby Cheese. Her friends and family have created the Anne Saxelby Legacy Fund in her honor, which provides training opportunities to financially distressed teenagers and young adults. Funds raised will allow youth to apprentice in sustainable systems and agriculture, domestically and abroad, the way Anne did. and enable youth participants to return home and have the same impact on their communities that Anne had in hers.
