The Jubilee Episode

Cherry Bombe's Jubilee is the conference in THE food world. Amanda Polick has been before, took a few years off, and went back this year with an actual game plan and a lot of thoughts she's whispering to her friends later. This episode is her honest debrief: what worked, what left her wanting more, and what she walked away with that had nothing to do with any of the panels. In this episode: Why going in with a loose schedule and a short list of people she wanted to meet changed everything Her real talk on conference programming that stays too surface when the room is full of people who came for the inside baseball The Levain Bakery founders, copycat recipes, and the conversations she wished had gone deeper Why she cried meeting Grace Young and has zero regrets about it The follow-up moves that actually matter after a conference ends The best thing she got out of Jubilee wasn't from the talks. It was the face-to-face time, texting new connections already, and the moment she shared her novel idea and watched people get chills. Perfect for: food writers and creatives weighing whether a conference is worth it, and anyone who's left a big event feeling like they missed something and wanted someone to just say it.
