Sitting in a coffee shop listening to a relative stranger tell her story, I was hooked. The story was the pivot of all pivots in a time when chaos ruled, and a virus had shut down life and seemingly hope… well not entirely. Everyone around the world suddenly reevaluating what their life’s purpose was, and then we cut to a family of three, a Uhaul and some hard decision to make in early March 2020. This is the story of a dream, upheaval, transition, and excellence in a period of a mere few months. Gives us pause for a little food for thought in this July edition of KARJAKA New York graced by the journey of Chef Jessica Masanotti.

Also featuring this rag tag crew as Kevin gets dirty with charcoal, Amanda grabs coffee, Kat messes with Met facades, Jeff illuminates in fashion verse, Alisha dumps the luggage, Craig talks LSD, and Nikki V drives it home with a playlist for your delectable delights. 

Dig in and satiate yourself with KARJAKA.
