Welcome to Hey Hey, LA, a new miniseries from Radio Cherry Bombe where we talk to creatives putting their mark on the LA food scene. Our first guest is Bricia Lopez—restaurateur, podcaster, cookbook author, and co-owner of the iconic LA Mexican restaurant Guelaguetza. Her second cookbook, Asada: The Art Of Mexican-Style Grilling, was just published last month and celebrates Bricia’s favorite things: food, family, cooking, and community. 

She joins host Kerry Diamond to talk about her Oaxacan childhood, coming to America at the age of 10, the history of Guelaguetz, the inspiration behind Asada, and even her love of ChatGPT and how AI helps her as a busy entrepreneur.
