Q&A With Julie and Jesse
1. If you had to eat one food for the rest of your life (but receive all the nutritional benefits + look fabulous), what would each of you choose?
FUNFETTI CAKE!2. What does "Living in a golden state" mean to you?
Living in the present moment and in sunshine (almost year round), living in a place where chefs are breaking the rules in a really good way, living in a place that welcomes people from all walks of life and from all corners of the world. Culinary diversity. In Los Angeles, you can get the best mexican food, the best Salvadorian food, and the best Chinese food all in one day...depending on the traffic.3. What are your favorite LA restaurants?
This is a hard one! Currently...Here's Looking At You, Konbi, Freedman's, HOmestate, Jon & Vinny's, Dialogue, Pizzana, Felix.4. What are the top 3 things you have in your kitchen?
