Mise en Place – the Podcast 8: Lina Caschetto

So amazing to have my favourite Chef and Sandwich artist on the Podcast today. Lina Caschetto has an inspiring story about finding her own way through life and through our industry. Her background in design and many years of working and honing her craft in Paris, has made her unassuming little sandwich shop one of the best bites of food in the city. I hope you enjoy her stories of adventure and fun, but always with a very strong backbone of tenacity and grit. And I can't say this enough. For a proper sandwich, go see her at her shop, Say Hey Cafe, you will be thankful I sent you.
