In our first collab episode with Women in Restaurant Leadership podcast, editors Callie Evergreen and Satyne Doner sit down with Caitlin Mateo, the director of kitchen operations and development at Founding Farmers—the farmer-owned, scratch-made restaurant group with locations across the DMV and Pennsylvania. We chat about her journey from anthropology to cooking and how she leads a kitchen team across multiple locations while keeping them engaged in the mission of the brand. Caitlin also shares her approach to menu innovation and how she balances flavor, ingredient sourcing, speed of execution, labor, and guest expectations.
