Regenerative Baking #28: Jenny Dorsey on State-Run Restaurants

Jenny Dorsey (@chefjennydorsey) is a professional chef, author, speaker, and researcher on food politics and social justice. She’s currently based in Singapore as a Fulbright-National Geographic Research Scholar studying the impact of government policies on hawker centres, and recently earned her Master’s in Education from Harvard’s Graduate School. I was introduced to her work years ago when her nonprofit, Studio ATAO, announced they were making a Food Systems 101 curriculum. She also makes really great, informative short-form videos on social media about everything from why sodas are fizzy and always served cold, to what vegetables can tell us about national security, to Heated Rivalry and the gendered politics of pleasure.

In this episode we get into some of her research on Singapore’s hawker markets, the argument for state-run restaurants, why Starbucks isn’t a true third space, how the design of a professional kitchen can actively work against you, using VR to enhance a dinner experience, letting people fulfill job roles based on their strengths and capabilities and not necessarily their experience, and so, so much more.
