Liza de Guia had worked for ABC News and Plum TV when she launched food curated to tell stories about the artists and artisans who drive New York's food scene. She realized no one was making short documentaries about food on a weekly basis, so she decided to create the first of its kind. What began as a small video blog has since grown to partner with The New York Times, Food and Wine, Huffington Post and win numerous awards. Since 2009, Liza has single-handedly created over 200 short documentaries on the lives of hard-working food makers, farmers, fishers and chefs who’ve made it their mission to make good food.
