L.A. Fires & The Culinary Community


Listen Later

In this heartfelt and timely episode of Snacky Tunes, host Darin Bresnitz delves into the early recovery efforts following the devastating wildfires that swept through Los Angeles, including the Palisades and Eaton Canyon areas. The culinary community, as always, is at the forefront of healing, offering food, love, and support to those in need.

This week’s lineup features three incredible guests:

  • Mary Sue Milliken: The renowned chef and co-founder of Border Grill discusses her work with World Central Kitchen, her deep ties to LA, and how the culinary world comes together in times of crisis, like Re:Her & The James Beard Awards.
  • Andy Valdez from HomeState: Andy shares how the beloved Tex-Mex spot mobilized to deliver breakfast tacos to first responders and emergency workers, offering comfort through food in challenging times. Sign up here if you would like to volunteer. 
  • Travis Hayden: Returning from last week’s episode, Travis reflects on how the fires have impacted him personally, as both a member of the culinary industry and a victim of the disaster.
  • This episode also includes a robust list of resources for listeners who want to support the recovery efforts, emphasizing the importance of financial aid, gift cards, and direct restaurant donations. Join us as we explore how LA’s food community is working tirelessly to rebuild, one meal at a time. Tune in, take action, and remember: Together, we can help restore what was lost.
