Born and Bread (bred) in the City of Angels, I’ve always had a deep appreciation for LA’s incredible food scene. As a kid, my parents and grandparents would take us out to classic spots like Scandia, Chasen’s, and The Bistro Garden—back when dining out felt like a special occasion. I got hooked early on the magic of fine dining… especially when someone else was paying!

As I got older, I realized that great food doesn’t have to come with a hefty price tag. My journey evolved—from white tablecloths to hidden gems, taco trucks to neighborhood bistros—all in search of standout meals at every budget. Through marriage, raising a family, and building a career, one thing remained constant: LA’s diverse food scene kept shaping my palate and inspiring my next bite.

Now, I’m excited to share that passion with you. Here’s to Day 1 of this blog hitting the streets and many delicious adventures to come!
