Today’s guests are Janet and Jennifer Zuccarini, the dynamic, Toronto-born sisters who have each built inspiring, creative companies. Janet is the founder and CEO of Gusto 54 Restaurant Group, which includes celebrated spots like Felix in Los Angeles and Trattoria Nervosa in Toronto, and is a judge on “Top Chef Canada.” (Check out all of Janet’s restaurants here.) Jennifer is the founder and CEO of the lingerie and lifestyle brand Fleur du Mal, which has been worn by the likes of Dua Lipa, Doechii, and Tate McRae.
Janet and Jennifer join host Kerry Diamond to talk about growing up as the daughters of immigrants, the entrepreneurial spirit they inherited from their father, and the lessons they’ve learned from charting their own paths in food and fashion. They also share how their Canadian upbringing continues to influence their work and their bond.
Today is the third episode in our miniseries in partnership with Destination Canada, where we shine a spotlight on some of our favorite Canadian chefs, creators, and culinary stars. Don’t miss our past episodes with Eden Grinshpan and Amy Ho.
