Mashama Bailey Of The Grey In Savannah On Mentorship, Her Paris Plans & Food With Meaning

It’s the final episode of our special Power Miniseries, and our guest is Mashama Bailey, chef and co-owner of The Grey in Savannah and the soon-to-open L’Arrêt in Paris. Mashama is a chef we’ve come to know and love at Cherry Bombe, and she’s one of the cover stars of our new Power issue. She has been the subject of a “Chef's Table” documentary on Netflix, has her own MasterClass on Southern cooking, and co-authored a memoir titled “Black, White, and The Grey: The Story of an Unexpected Friendship and a Beloved Restaurant.” Mashama joins host Kerry Diamond to talk about being a late bloomer in the chef world, the start of her mentorship era, her Paris plans, and why she would like to cook for Michelle Obama one day.  Our Power miniseries is presented by Veuve Clicquot and coincides with the new Power Issue of Cherry Bombe’s print magazine, out now. We spotlighted more than 100 women in the worlds of food, drink, and hospitality, including Mashama, who are using their power in interesting, inspiring, and innovative ways.
