In a very candid interview, Sara Moulton talks about being kicked off the Food Network, losing her livelihood when Gourmet folded, and early hip-hop. Also, sexism in the 1980s: "...the French chefs didn't believe that women belonged in the kitchen. We were shut out. When I first went to New York, I had worked in restaurants for seven years, and I couldn't get a job. I wanted to learn. That was why I was so pissed off that when I went to Lutèce, The Four Seasons, all of those French restaurants, they wouldn't hire me." [Eater National]
