How to Feed a Netflix Film Set | On the Job | NYT Cooking

What does a film crew eat on set? In this episode of “On the Job,” Priya Krishna shadows Concetta Scottodicarlo, a master of one of the most essential, yet often overlooked departments on set: craft services, or “crafty.”

Whether the set is tucked away on a soundstage or sprawled across a busy Midtown sidewalk, Concetta and her team are there — fueling the cast and crew with meals, snacks, beverages and the highly appreciated sweet treat (a time of day she calls “Candy Lollapalooza”) throughout long, demanding shoot days.

We meet Concetta on the set of “Best of the Best,” a dance comedy film from Netflix starring Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, Priyanka Kedia and Hasan Minhaj. Concetta, who owns and operates her own company, is responsible for feeding more than 130 members of the cast and crew. First to arrive and last to leave, Concetta makes sure that everyone on set stays nourished, caffeinated and ready to roll.
