Samantha Sherman: From the Crazy NYC Hospitality Industry to Opening a Popular Hampton’s Granola Business
Listen now
Description
Katie hosts her dear friend, Sam Sherman, of The Hampton Grocer, to gush about all things Hamptons and New York City dining. Sam tells her story of working in the restaurant industry in Manhattan for almost a decade prior to opening her booming Hampton’s granola company. Previously, she worked front of house for both Mario Batali and Tom Colicchio (sometimes serving over 300 guests in one evening!), as well as for famous event planner, Marcy Blum. Once the pandemic hit, Sam was out of a job and needed to pivot. She started grocery shopping for families in the Hamptons and selling her mother-in-law’s granola recipe at farm stands. Much to her surprise, the granola immediately took off and she’s never looked back. Currently, Hampton Grocer is in over 250 retailers selling their classic flavors, as well as seasonal flavors including their Fall Tahini, Apple, and Cinnamon Granola in collaboration with Seed + Mill. Sam spills all the tea on who her most difficult NYC restaurant guest was, as well as what it was like to shop for luxury clients in the Hampton’s (let’s just say…not easy!).
