TRUST BAE OPENS WITH ALL FEMALE CONCEPT LED BY FORMER TOP CHEF ALUM

The New Opening by Simple Venue and Sushi by Bou CEO Erika London and Celeb Chef Frances Tariga will Empower Female Chefs by Supporting Their Restaurateur Journeys

NEW YORK, March 6, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Simplevenue CEO Erika London announces the launch of its newest concept, Trust Bae (1204 Broadway, New York, 917-268-7268, www.trustbae.com), opening today on International Women’s Day, showcasing the cuisine and culinary point of view of leading, ambitious female chefs. This location features the first of many openings with a Japanese-style menu with Filipino flair from Celebrity Chef Frances Tariga (Top Chef, Beat Bobby Flay, Chopped). 

Akin to other Simplevenue concepts (Sushi by Boū, Sushi Suite, Fins and Scales, and Omakaseed), Trust Bae will be an intimate counter-style tasting experience guided by its chefs. However, with this new concept, each location will serve as an incubator of each woman chef’s unique culinary concept, providing an outlet to express their culinary journey in a safe, invigorating, nurturing space. 

Ahead of the launch of this first location, London enlisted television personality and entrepreneur Rachael Ray who will be supporting and mentoring each of the aspiring chefs.

“I am looking forward to guiding some of the next generation’s female cooks and chef powerhouses through their culinary journeys,” said Ray. “I believe in the power of building personal brands and leveraging them through the formation of new business models and I am excited to help scout and empower these up and coming talents.” 

Per a study by Altrata, women lead less than 7 percent of US restaurants and less than 5 percent are hospitality CEOs. 

Mentorships, advocacy and initiatives such as Trust Bae are crucial to ensure an increase in these numbers and seeing women advance in the hospitality space. This type of mentorship and advocacy is a small step towards bridging the gender gap in this industry and inevitably provides more opportunities for other women to express their culinary points of view. 

As the brand expands to new cities where sister restaurant Sushi by Bou is located in New York, Chicago and Miami, the new venues will highlight a talented woman chef in the kitchen while learning how to run and scale their own restaurant concept. 

London’s Simplevenue team behind the Trust Bae brand is comprised of a lineup of brilliant and skillful women, including; Trust Bae Executive Chef – Frances Tariga, Director of Marketing – Alexis Carranza, Regional GM – Amanda Mi, HR & Recruiting Director – Jessica Sanchez, Director of Hospitality – Monica Cabral and Interior Designer – Diana Romeo.

“Trust Bae’s mission is to entrust visionary women by giving them the space to leverage their unique personal and professional journeys to create distinct culinary experiences to be shared in a unique and intimate setting,” said London.
