Amy Brandwein is a six-time James Beard Award-nominated chef and restaurateur of award-winning restaurants Centrolina and Piccolina in Washington, D.C. An advocate for women in the culinary industry, Centrolina has a 100% female leadership team. Brandwein is a longtime member of Les Dames d’Escoffier, Lee Initiative, James Beard Foundation Women’s Entrepreneurial Leadership Program and Re: Her. In this edition of Voices in Food, Brandwein talks about the myriad reasons why there are so few female chefs in leadership positions and why representation at the highest culinary levels matters.
