Dom & Andy sit down with acclaimed restaurateur Marissa Hermer (Olivetta, The Draycott) to celebrate the opening of Chez Mia, Marissa's new West Hollywood restaurant.

They talk about the importance of having a neighborhood spot, the similarities between California and the South of France, Marissa's colorful design philosophy, and why describing a caviar dish as a "French Kiss" might be a bad idea.

Dom and Andy are joined by someone who actually knows how to do podcasts, Darin Bresnitz of the Snacky Tunes podcast. They discuss what they've learned in the trenches of the LA restaurant scene, including the best neighborhood spots, celebrity haunts, and the "boom and bust" of the media cycle (which, as it turns out, is not just limited to restaurants - sorry, Leo). Plus, Darin offers his perspective on how to find success in the L.A. culinary world, the guys discuss the celebrity encounters that actually impressed them, and you'll learn why restaurants need your support during the holidays.

Dom and Andy sit down with Bricia Lopez, one of the driving forces behind L.A.‘s iconic Oaxacan restaurant, Guelaguetza for a conversation about how Mexican culture shapes and leads L.A.‘s identity– from groundbreaking cuisine and mezcal culture to music, fashion, and sports. Learn how Bricia has transformed traditional Mexican cuisine and culture into thriving L.A. parties, what Las Vegas means to kids growing up in Los Angeles, and why sometimes it sucks to be a pioneer.
