For someone who was told multiple times as a child, "I would pay to watch you eat," it was a relatively long and winding road to a professional life in food for Jesse Galdston. After myriad jobs in his early 20s (everything from SAT tutoring to research on subseabed nuclear waste disposal), he graduated from the University of Chicago Law School and practiced law in both Chicago and Boston. It was in Boston where Jesse finally gave in to the calls to take up food as a profession, as opposed to just an all-consuming hobby that occupied all of his non-working hours. Starting by stocking shelves and driving deliveries at Formaggio Kitchen Cambridge, a world-class cheese shop and gourmet store, Jesse quickly rose to become a cheesemonger, specialty buyer, cheese cave manager, and senior class instructor. Following a detour into the beverage industry to sell Shacksbury Cider, Jesse was intimately involved in the design and planning for FireFly Farms Market Baltimore at Whitehall Market where he is currently the general manager.
