Samantha Sherman: From the Crazy NYC Hospitality Industry to Opening a Popular Hampton’s Granola Business

Katie hosts her dear friend, Sam Sherman, of The Hampton Grocer, to gush about all things Hamptons and New York City dining. Sam tells her story of working in the restaurant industry in Manhattan for almost a decade prior to opening her booming Hampton’s granola company. Previously, she worked front of house for both Mario Batali and Tom Colicchio (sometimes serving over 300 guests in one evening!), as well as for famous event planner, Marcy Blum.

Once the pandemic hit, Sam was out of a job and needed to pivot. She started grocery shopping for families in the Hamptons and selling her mother-in-law’s granola recipe at farm stands. Much to her surprise, the granola immediately took off and she’s never looked back. Currently, Hampton Grocer is in over 250 retailers selling their classic flavors, as well as seasonal flavors including their Fall Tahini, Apple, and Cinnamon Granola in collaboration with Seed + Mill.

Sam spills all the tea on who her most difficult NYC restaurant guest was, as well as what it was like to shop for luxury clients in the Hampton’s (let’s just say…not easy!). Tune in to hear some stories that will make you laugh out loud and for an exclusive discount code for Hampton Grocer Granola!

Our Shows
Over 50 & Flourishing
Welcome to Over 50 & Flourishing, the show for any woman who feels like she lost her compass in the sea of midlife. I’m here to tell you it’s never too late to change your course and awaken the healthy, wise, and wonderful woman within. My name is Dominique Sachse, and I love to ask questions, which was why I spent nearly three decades of my life in the TV news business. I also started a YouTube channel in 2014 to connect intimately with my community, and I took an even deeper dive in my book Life Makeover - Embrace The Bold, Beautiful and Blessed You. I’ll be the first to say, I’ve made mistakes, and I’m not afraid to be vulnerable and learn from them. I mean let’s face it, this stage of life can be complicated. Children are moving out, relationships are being examined, our parents are aging, and we’re having to manage all of this along with our menopause! It’s easy to lose sight of ourselves, but can I just say.. we matter. So, whether it’s finding ways to enhance and celebrate our own beauty, taking bold steps toward living our best life in the second half of life, finding ways to be healthier, happier, and more spiritually connected, I will bring you thinkers and innovators who share the same passion of flushing out these ideas. It’s my goal to leave us all feeling inspired, thought and intent-driven, and with a sense of purpose in whatever we pursue. Let’s celebrate growing older together and embrace our Prime. It’s our time!
