On this week's edition of Culinary Confidential, Christina Cates celebrates the strength, creativity, legacy, and hospitality that family-run food businesses have to offer, by featuring three inspiring guests whose brands are built on parent-child relationships.

Linnie and Morgan Gold, the mother-daughter duo behind NOSH NYC, have turned candy into a personalized experience by specializing in custom candy gift boxes and 'candy grams', blending premium treats with playful designs. From sour gummies to rich chocolates, NOSH NYC delivers joy in every box. Their secret ingredient? The Golds' bond as co-founders of a women-owned business.

Misty Skolnick is co-founder of Uncle Jerry's Pretzels, an artisanal brand of pretzels based out of Lancaster County, PA, alongside her father Jerry. The two have spent over three decades crafting crunchy, all-natural sourdough pretzels with integrity and grit.

Their stories are ones of resilience, tradition, and staying true to their roots in this changing food landscape - proof that teamwork as a family can truly elevate a business and deepen its purpose in ways that trends cannot.
