Podcast Overview

Eating at a Meeting explores a variety of topics on food and beverage (F&B) and how they impact individual experience and inclusion, sustainability, culture, community, health and wellness, laws and more. The mission of Eating at a Meeting is to share authentic stories that illustrate the financial, social, emotional, and mental impact food and beverage have on individuals, organizations, and the earth. I see it being threefold: ● Help individuals and organizations understand how F&B impacts employee, customer and guest experience, the planet and the bottom line. ● Help those growing, producing, preparing, and serving F&B understand the duty of care they hold in food safety and inclusion as well as the opportunity they have to create experiences that are safe and inclusive. ● Support those with dietary needs by gathering their insight on eating at a meeting with dietary needs, helping them better advocate for themselves and educating them on the processes found on the other side of the kitchen door.

Designing Allergy-Friendly Menus Everyone Will love w/ Chef Karen O'Connor

<p>Here's the truth most event professionals don't want to say out loud: we often treat food allergy requests as a nuisance instead of a responsibility.</p> <p>This week — Food Allergy Awareness Week — I'm bringing a conversation to Eating at a Meeting LIVE that I believe every meeting planner, caterer, hotel F&B team, and event organizer needs to hear.</p> <p>I'm sitting down with Karen O'Connor, Executive Chef at Toronto's renowned Daniel et Daniel Catering & Events. Karen has spent more than 30 years building menus that don't just impress — they include. She's a CATIE Chef of the Year, past President of the International Caterers Association, and a sought-after speaker at Catersource who has led sessions specifically on designing allergy-friendly menus that work for guests and still deliver the wow factor clients expect.</p> <p>We're going deep on the operational side of food allergy management — how her team collects and communicates allergy information, how they build menus around common allergens like gluten, nuts, dairy, and soy without stripping out the soul of a dish, and what it really means to make guests with food allergies feel not just safe, but celebrated.</p> <p>For planners: this is about more than avoiding a reaction. It's about reducing liability, honoring your attendees, and creating experiences where everyone can be fully present at the table.</p> <p>For suppliers and caterers: this is your peer showing how it's done at the highest level.</p> <p>Come watch LIVE. Bring your questions. This is the conversation our industry needs.</p>

How Event Planners Can Save Lives: A Food-Allergic Guest's Perspective

<p>Food allergies aren't just a dietary preference. For millions of people, they are a daily negotiation with risk, anxiety, and belonging.</p> <p>This week is Food Allergy Awareness Week, and for Day 3 of Eating at a Meeting LIVE, I'm sitting down with someone who has been in the trenches of this conversation for years — Lindiwe Lewis, allergy advocate and host of the Behind the Allergy podcast.</p> <p>Lindi has lived with severe, anaphylactic food allergies for over 30 years. She's had reactions to entire food groups. She's navigated dining rooms where staff didn't wash their hands and restaurants where she felt like an inconvenience for asking a question. She's also experienced the flip side — places like Hawksmoor in London, where staff handled her allergies with confidence, care, and genuine kindness.</p> <p>The difference? It's everything.</p> <p>Through Behind the Allergy, Lindi doesn't just talk about what she can't eat. She talks about the anxiety, the isolation, the relationships, the travel, the identity of living with a condition that can turn a meal into a medical emergency. Her platform is a lifeline for the food allergy community — and a wake-up call for the hospitality industry.</p> <p>For those of us who plan, design, and serve food at meetings and events, this conversation is not optional. It's essential.</p> <p>If you've ever wondered what your guests with severe allergies are actually thinking when they sit down at your event table — this episode will tell you.</p> <p>Join us LIVE, bring your questions, and let's talk about what it really means to make every guest feel seen, safe, and included.</p>

Off-Premise Catering and Food Allergies: Why Event Safety Requires More Than Menu Labels

<p>A label on a buffet card is not a safety plan. And if you're relying on one to protect your guests with food allergies, this episode is for you.</p> <p>For Day 2 of Food Allergy Awareness Week, I'm bringing Executive Chef Jay Varga of The JDK Group Catering & Events on Eating at a Meeting LIVE — and we are getting into what food allergy safety actually requires in an off-premise catering environment.</p> <p>Jay is the 2022 ICA Chef of the Year, former Culinary Council President of the International Caterers Association, and the executive chef overseeing all culinary operations at one of central Pennsylvania's most decorated catering companies. He has executed flawless events for hundreds of guests at a time — and he knows better than almost anyone where the system breaks down when dietary needs aren't taken seriously from the start.</p> <p>Here is what I want every planner, venue, hotel, and event professional to understand: off-premise catering is not a restaurant. The kitchen travels. The team works in unfamiliar spaces. The volume is high and the timeline is unforgiving. Managing food allergies in that environment takes more than good intentions — it takes systems, culture, and leadership that starts long before the first guest arrives.</p> <p>Jay and I are going to talk about all of it. What real allergen safety looks like from the inside of a catering kitchen. How to design menus where the allergy-friendly plate is just as beautiful and intentional as every other dish. And what you — as the planner or the client — can do to be a better partner in protecting your guests.</p> <p>Join us LIVE and bring your questions. This is the conversation the events industry needs to be having every week — not just during Food Allergy Awareness Week.</p> <p>Every meal matters. Every guest matters. Let's make sure our events reflect that.</p> <p>What do YOU want to ask Chef Jay?</p>
