While in Los Angeles last month, Andrew had time for just one pod interview.
At the top of his list, based on an excellent dinner at their restaurant last fall, were (yes, they鈥檝e dropped the 鈥淪ociety鈥 from the name) in DTLA.
In this comprehensive conversation, the couple discuss their respective biographies, how they met while working at Josiah Citrin鈥檚 M茅lisse restaurant, then moved to Christopher Kostow鈥檚 The Restaurant at Meadowood in Napa Valley, before returning to Los Angeles and opening their own singular place. On the margins of the discussion are thoughts on identity, categorizing cuisine, the perhaps surprising challenges of operating a more casual restaurant, and where this duo鈥檚 dishes come from.
Fascinating, thoughtful stuff here, and we hope you鈥檒l check it out.
