Let Luke Holden of Luke’s Lobster Teach You the Ropes About Starting Your Own Food Biz

No wonder he's smiling.

Luke Holden has been busy these days expanding his mini lobster-roll empire and even going mobile. But that doesn’t mean he won’t take time out of his schedule to sit down with you and talk shop.

The Luke’s Lobster founder — along with Daniel Mancini of MamaMancini’s Meatballs, Amy Scherber of Amy’s Breads, Daniel Sklaar of Fine & Raw Chocolate, Jon Snyder of Il Laboratorio del Gelato, and Kelly Thomas of Kelso Brewery — will be a panelist on a discussion about starting one’s own food business. The panel will take place at JBF LTD, the James Beard pop-up in Chelsea Market, at 2:30 p.m. today. Liz Vaccariello, editor in chief of Every Day With Rachael Ray, moderates.
