Jody's values and passions have guided her long career in the kitchen, her charity work, and her involvement in local and international communities. Jody earned a bachelor's degree in anthropology from Brown University, but a serendipitous meeting with Julia Child and Sara Moulton led her to Lydia Shire at Seasons, where she worked for four years on the line and then three years as sous chef for Gordon Hamersley at Hamersley's Bistro. Her second job was as an executive chef at Michela's, where she worked under Michela Larson. These experiences prepared her for the opening of Rialto, which she ran for 22 years before shutting in 2016.

Legal Crossing's group dining offers excellent food, service, and convenience. For more information, please contact our special events manager. The Berkowitz family opened a fish market in Cambridge's Inman Square neighborhood in 1950, giving birth to the Legal Sea Foods brand. Customers were granted "Legal Stamps" (forerunners of S&H green stamps) with their purchases at a related family business adjacent to the market at the time, a grocery store called Legal Cash Market. The name "Legal" became linked with excellence and freshness throughout this time. The first Legal Sea Foods restaurant debuted in 1968, directly across from the fish market. The fish was simply grilled or cooked before being distributed on paper plates at communal picnic tables. The Company's commitment to quality standards, freshness, and the integrity of the entire pier-to-plate process remains unchanged today. By concentrating on people (our employees and guests) and excellence in everything we do, we continue to raise the bar and set the brand apart from the competition. So when we declare, "If it isn't fresh, it isn't Legal!" we're reaffirming a dedication that has kept the brand alive for more than 50 years.
