Why restaurants are petitioning the city, with The LA Times’ Stephanie Breijo. Plus, Rashida Holmes on Bridgetown Roti’s journey from pop-up to permanent.
Today we’re joined by LA Times food reporter Stephanie Breijo to discuss a brand new petition LA restaurateurs are bringing to city and state lawmakers. Stephanie has been on the frontlines of covering the tough time restaurants have been having over the last couple of years, and she actually joined the restaurateurs as they ventured to City Hall to meet with lawmakers and make their requests known. But the million dollar questions are - what are they asking for, and will it actually help? Listen to find out.
In Part 2, it’s my conversation with James Beard semfinalist Chef Rashida Holmes of Bridgetown Roti. I visited Chef Rashida at her acclaimed Carribean restaurant to learn about her journey from pop-up to brick and mortar. We wound up talking about a laundry list of enticing topic, including why there’s a dearth of Carribean food in LA and what she’s hoping lawmakers will do to ease the burden on small business owners like herself. And what she thought of the Luka Doncic trade as a dedicated Mavs fan!
