LANI HALLIDAY AND JARED HOWARD: BRUTUS MEETS HONEY BUNNY
Brutus Bakeshop's Lani Halliday and Honey Bunny's Chicken's Jared Howard share how they came to be part of the Black Entrepreneur Series at Maison Yaki in Brooklyn as well their thoughts about allyship, reparations and empathy. Lani's Maison Yaki pop-up kicked off the series with her sensational gluten-free, vegan pastries and savories, including her now iconic pop tart. She tells us why her food matters in this moment and beyond. Currently at Maison Yaki, Jared Howard is cooking fried chicken, biscuits and his take on Mid-Atlantic cuisine in his first ever time running a kitchen at the age of 41. One of these guests has a mysterious, movie-ready backstory you won't want to miss, one has roots in Southern agriculture and both have fascinating takes on how to make their businesses thrive now and in the future.
