Celebrity chef Alison Roman opened her brick-and-mortar grocery store First Bloom in the Catskills in 2023 and plans to open a second location in Brooklyn later in the year.

Amy opens video with Alison Roman — and Leonard, her enormous cat — in Alison's kitchen. They discuss First Bloom, Alison's independent Catskills grocery store she opened in 2023 without a full plan, and her upcoming Brooklyn expansion. The conversation takes a delightful detour through co-op culture (both agree they'd never participate), and Alison describes her habit of offering unsolicited butcher-shop cooking advice to strangers — only to be dismissed 80% of the time as 'just a lady.' Amy likens it to being a doctor on a plane nobody asked for. Alison speaks warmly about Greta, describing her as one of the hardest-working, kindest, funniest people she knows, with a natural hospitality energy. She then offers her question for Greta: how has working in restaurants shaped her as an actor? Amy reveals she too was a restaurant person — a waiter for years in New York — before the pair wrap with artichoke preparation advice and a fond goodbye to Leonard.
Celebrity chef Alison Roman regularly pipes up at butcher shops to save strangers from terrible grilling decisions. Eight out of ten times, they are completely uninterested. She compares it to being a doctor on a plane who nobody asked for.
