NEW
YORK, July 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The
hospitality industry just got a little more connected with the
launch of The meez Network, a content network that curates
hospitality knowledge in one place.
Founded by Andrew Friedman,
author and host of "Andrew Talks to Chefs," and Josh Sharkey, founder/CEO of meez and host of
"The meez Podcast," The meez Network emerged from their shared
passion for industry innovation and storytelling. Responding to
audience feedback and the industry's need for centralized content,
they integrated their podcasts into The meez Network's inaugural
lineup.
"Imagine a place where the best hospitality insights, stories,
and updates converge in one accessible space. That's exactly what
The meez Network offers," says Sharkey. "It's about creating a
central hub where professionals can find quality programming
without searching through endless options."
In 2022, at meez's annual team summit, Sharkey hosted a fireside
chat with chef Wylie Dufresne, which
was both entertaining and educational. Inspired by its success,
Josh recorded interviews with other industry professionals, leading
to the creation of "The meez Podcast."
Soon after, meez sponsored "Andrew Talks to Chefs." This
sponsorship led Friedman and Sharkey to develop The meez Network,
expanding on their original shows' content, style, and mission.
"I've watched the field become impossibly crowded over the last
seven years," says Friedman. "The meez Network will serve
hospitality professionals by identifying the right mix of quality
content to suit their needs and interests."
"The meez Podcast" will leverage Sharkey's industry expertise to
focus on cutting-edge culinary practices and entrepreneurial
insights. Meanwhile, "Andrew Talks to Chefs" will continue its
in-depth biographical interviews with culinary luminaries.
Beyond its flagship shows, The meez Network's inaugural podcast
line-up includes Industry Only at the Cheese Store hosted by
store owners Dominick DiBartolomeo
and Andy Wang, Restaurant Unstoppable hosted by
Eric Cacciatore, and The Simmer,
hosted by Kristen Hawley, Founder of
Expedite, and Brandon Barton, CEO of
Bite.
"We want The meez Network to be the place you go to find
solutions, distractions, and laughs," said Friedman. "Our goal is
to build a place for hospitality professionals to learn from each
other, share stories, and connect over shared experiences and
lessons."
All pre-existing shows that are part of The meez
Network will continue to be available individually on major
podcast platforms, including Apple, Spotify, and Stitcher.
