We’re joined by Brad Metzger, President of hospitality recruitment firm Brad Metzger Restaurant Solutions, and Ryan O’Melveny WIlson, the CEO of legendary Los Angeles restaurant group Lawry’s, to hear about Chefs Love LA, an unforgettable evening of food and wine, celebrating LA heroes and supporting the restaurant community impacted by the fires. World-famous chefs including Curtis Stone, Jonathan Waxman, Daniel Bouloud, Nyesha Harrington, Jordan Kahn and many many more are all uniting on February 27 for what promises to be a culinary Live Aid happening at Lawry’s The Prime Rib in Beverly Hills, with all proceeds benefiting World Central Kitchen and Restaurants Care. 


In Part 2, we’re joined by a chef who many credit with putting Peruvian food on the map in Los Angeles and beyond, I’m talking about Ricardo Zarate. Ricardo opened the cevicheria known as The Hummbingbird in Echo Park in 2024, and many hailed it as a sort of comeback. But speaking with Ricardo, it’s clear that The Hummingbird is a lot more than that.
