At The Grey restaurant in Savannah, Georgia, an acclaimed Black woman chef and a food-obsessed White businessman are equal partners who're bridging their lived experiences-one meal, one conversation, and one business challenge at a time.Black, White, and The Grey is a story about the mission, trials, and triumphs of two individuals with little in common-acclaimed chef Mashama Bailey and media startup defector John O. Morisano-who came together to build what would be a special restaurant.Bailey and Morisano, co-owners of The Grey, tell their story in alternating fonts, explaining how they went from tentative business partners to best friends as they turned a dilapidated Jim Crow-era Greyhound bus station in Savannah, Georgia, into one of the hottest restaurants in the country, all while digging into their lived experiences with race, class, and culture through honest, unflinching discussions. As they reveal the rawness, vulnerability, and humanity that make their partnership so inspiring, they show how they've tried to bridge the deep cultural divide in America during a time when activated racism and raging classism are at the forefront of our national consciousness.In celebration of the food and drinks that bring people together, a recipe caps each chapter (21 in total)-from Country Pasta (with pork belly) to Salted Honey Chess Pie-peppering the narrative with food from their story. Everyone fascinated by food culture will savor the behind-the-scenes details of building and running a destination restaurant-in this case, one that is attempting to reshape cultural conversation beyond food.

“I’m trying to meditate one day but urgent thoughts keep intruding. Don’t forget to take cupcakes to school! I have to prepare for my presentation for the wellness conference! Is that lunch with the other moms tomorrow or next week? My to-do list is stampeding through my mind, trampling any chance of tranquility. I feel overwhelmed, yes, but there’s more: I feel…guilty. Guilty that I’m taking on too much, guilty that I’m not doing anything well, guilty that I’m giving short shrift to my kids, my husband, my job. And what about you, Mallika? a quiet voice asks. How are you shortchanging yourself?” Living with Intent is a chronicle of Mallika Chopra’s search to find more meaning, joy, and balance in life. She hopes that by telling her story, she can inspire others with her own successes (and failures) as well as share some of the wisdom she has gathered from friends, experts, and family along the way—people like her dad, Deepak, as well as Eckhart Tolle, Marianne Williamson, Arianna Huffington, Andrew Weil, and Dan Siegel. She also provides a practical road map for how we can all move from thought to action to outcome. Each chapter is devoted to one step on her journey and another piece of her INTENT action plan: Incubate, Notice, Trust, Express, Nurture, and Take Action. Chopra’s insights and advice will help us all come closer to fully living the lives we truly intend.

Through in-depth examinations of both men, Kahn separates fact from myth to present a truthful portrait of baseball and its participants at a critical juncture in American history.
