Speaker 1: get into the food shown throughout the episode.

25
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 3: But first, how did you.

26
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 1: Break into the world of cooking for celebrities?

27
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 4: I definitely I get this question a lot. I definitely

28
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 4: did not have the traditional culinary career path. Most people

29
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 4: go from you know, high school to culinary school work

30
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 4: you right up in a restaurant or a hotel hospitality group.

31
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 4: For me, I grew up in a family with nine

32
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,639
Speaker 4: allergens among the five of us, so I always saw

33
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 4: this need to cater to dietary needs focus on food

34
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 4: for health, and I knew this was going to be

35
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 4: an increased need just seeing the food system in our country.

36
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 4: So my background is very niche. I an undergrad I

37
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 4: studied food science, product development, and nutrition, and then I

38
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 4: went to a health supportive culinary arts program which focused

39
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 4: on eating for health and wellness, which at that time,

40
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 4: several years ago, was the first kind of program of

41
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 4: its kind. Most and this was crazy to me, most

42
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 4: culinary schools don't cover health, wellness and eating. I nutritiously

43
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 4: and this blew my mind. So this was the first

44
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 4: program that was really really interesting to me. And up

45
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 4: until then, I was doing a lot of corporate food

46
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 4: product development, so developing the healthiest food products for the

47
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 4: largest companies in the world, like egg bites for Starbucks

48
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 4: and soups for Panera Bread. And I always had this

49
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 4: passion for healthy food and making healthy food accessible to all.

50
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 4: And after I was in this program, I started getting

51
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 4: approached by this culinary program. I was approached by trainers

52
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 4: and nutritionness of athletes in the NBA in the NFL

53
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 4: who they're all about nutrition. You know, they just can't

54
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 4: have a normal chef. They need someone who can analyze

55
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 4: blood work. And if a trainer came to me and said,

56
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 4: I need a high protein, no night shade, low inflammatory diet.

57
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 4: They need two hundred and fifty grams of protein a day,

58
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 4: and here's the times that they can eat. Come up

59
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 4: with a perfect meal plan. They need someone who could

60
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 4: do that. And my background is niche and still is

61
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 4: pretty niche to be able to do that. So I

62
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 4: can look at all of their blood work and come

63
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 4: up with this designer diet. And then pretty soon after

64
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 4: that it was their wives who were models, actors in

65
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 4: the industry, and then it kind of snowballed from there.

66
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 4: But it was a very interesting approach to private chefing

67
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 4: that I broke into because prior to me, when you

68
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,119
Speaker 4: would private chef, you would go in, you would sign

69
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 4: an NDA and you would just say, you know, you

70
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 4: go and you cook. You can't talk about who you're

71
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,720
Speaker 4: cooking for. For me, I started building up this social

72
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 4: media platform as a celebrity private chef, and my clients,

73
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,840
Speaker 4: now clients, started following me on my platforms, so they

74
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,479
Speaker 4: actually wanted me to post about them and be in

75
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 4: my videos. So it's kind of a very interesting path

76
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 4: and to create our celebrity private chef.

77
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: Very symbiotic relationship there. Wonderful. So you've been very open

78
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 1: about your love for Airwan. Do you do all your

79
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 1: grocery shopping there? Do you mix it up with other stores?

80
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 4: Yeah?

81
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 3: Me both think Airwon pays me. They do not. They

82
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:49,479
Speaker 3: do not.

83
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,479
Speaker 4: I would say I let my clients choose where they

84
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 4: want me to shop, but typically it's a lot of

85
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 4: fun and no budget and Airwan is all organic, really

86
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:04,359
Speaker 4: high quality, So typically I do shop at Airwin. I

87
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,600
Speaker 4: spend a tremendous amount of money at Airwan and film

88
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 4: some funny content there. And now I have my own product.

89
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:11,279
Speaker 4: I have a carrot cake, which is one of the

90
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 4: best selling desserts in Airwan. But it's fun. People are

91
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 4: just so fascinated with it. And they'll be like, I,

92
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 4: how did you spend thirty thousand dollars in Airwan last month?

93
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 4: You're so tone deaf, and I'm like, how do you

94
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 4: afford that? I'm like, one, I don't pay for the ingredients,

95
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 4: of course, and then two, it's my celebrity clients that, yes,

96
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 4: are buying these Airwan groceries. But I do a lot

97
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,280
Speaker 4: for inner city children and families, for cooking classes and nonprofits,

98
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 4: and it's actually those clients that are paying for me

99
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 4: to be able to do those classes. When the La

100
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 4: fires happened, it was my clients that gave me tens

101
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 4: of thousands of dollars to make meals for those in

102
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:48,159
Speaker 4: need and on.

103
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 3: The front line.

104
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 4: So they're the most thoughtful people ever. But yeah, they'll

105
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,679
Speaker 4: you know, unlimited budget at Airwan is very fun.

106
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 1: What's the single most expensive item you have ever purchased?

107
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 4: At the forty dollars water and a view of it,

108
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 4: and people actually bought it because they were so curious

109
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 4: that all the airons sold out of this water when

110
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 4: I did a very viral review of it a couple

111
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 4: of years ago, and people would come together at dinner

112
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 4: because it's the price of a restaurant to eat there,

113
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 4: and instead of sharing a bottle of wine, they would

114
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 4: share this bottle of water, which is so funny. It's

115
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 4: nanopure hyperoxygenated water. Okay, not worth it in my opinion.

116
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 1: No, no, didn't notice anything remarkable happening after you were

117
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: drinking it.

118
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 4: So I actually tried to travel with it, and then

119
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 4: I realized it was just to carry on. So I

120
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 4: had this massive bottle of like it's forty dollars. I

121
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 4: was going to New York to film with it. I

122
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,280
Speaker 4: was like, I'm going to let this go to waste.

123
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 4: I'm not going to dump it because I can't take

124
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 4: it through security.

125
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 3: So at six.

126
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 4: Am, I chugged this entire bottle of water, and I

127
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 4: thought I was going to sleep on the plane, but

128
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 4: because it's hyperoxygenated, it was like so much oxygen to

129
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 4: my brain that I was wide awake. So that's the

130
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 4: one benefit of is I was so wide awake on

131
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 4: that flight, I felt like I had three coffees, so

132
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:08,479
Speaker 4: people swear by a sip of it.

133
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 3: Would I pay forty dollars for water? No? But now

134
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 3: since they have the twenty dollars single strawberry that just

135
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 3: launched there, we need to go review it.

136
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: Okay. Yeah, So you've cooked for some big names like

137
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:28,679
Speaker 1: Paris Hilton, Sara, Michelle Geller, Mindy Kayleg. What's the most

138
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 1: outrageous or challenging dish you've ever attempted to create? Weather

139
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 1: for a client or just for fun.

140
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 3: I would say none of those three clients.

141
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 4: But I had another client who I was cooking on

142
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 4: a boat and everything had to be covered in gold

143
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 4: flakes just to do it. I mean, I've done two

144
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 4: thousand dollars pizzas, three hundred dollars mac and cheese, five

145
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 4: hundred dollars girl cheeses, just ridiculousness for housewives and famous

146
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 4: housewives and things like that.

147
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 3: But I would say the.

148
00:07:56,200 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 4: Covered in gold flakes, and I still have gold like

149
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 4: PTSD because one covering a hot ribbi in gold flakes

150
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 4: it is not an easy task and also it has

151
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,119
Speaker 4: to be done fast to keep the stay hot.

152
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 3: And it's like glitter, so it gets everywhere.

153
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 4: It gets in your clothes, it gets in the carpet,

154
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 4: So I yeah, that would be that would be the craziest.

155
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 3: But two thousand dollars pizza.

156
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 4: I actually had my client record me serving this pizza

157
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 4: because I was like, no one's gonna believe that I

158
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 4: actually made this, so you need to fill me. And

159
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 4: then I posted it and when viral. But I used

160
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 4: caviare and expensive nuts from around the world to make

161
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 4: these vegan cheeses and I put gold flakes on it

162
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 4: and it was ridiculous. But some people like expensive bottles

163
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,199
Speaker 4: at a club for a table, this client wanted to

164
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 4: show off with the two thousand dollars pizza.

165
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 1: Wow. So all right, So Gilmore Girls is famous for

166
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 1: its love of comfort food obviously burgers, pancakes, and let's

167
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: amount to coffee. How would you put a healthy twist

168
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 1: on some of these classic Gilmore.

169
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 4: Oh well, first, huge fan of Gilmore Girls, So this

170
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 4: is this is amazing. My sister will be breaking out

171
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 4: knowing that watching this one. So I would say a

172
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 4: lot of people don't know how to make something healthy

173
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 4: and I and that's still satisfying. I love breaking that

174
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 4: stigma that healthy food is anything is boring, it's bland,

175
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 4: it's unsatisfying, it's not delicious, and just making delicious healthy

176
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:29,680
Speaker 4: food that everyone can eat. So I would say for diners,

177
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 4: I would say focusing on really high protein to still

178
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:35,599
Speaker 4: be satisfying.

179
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 3: Like I make.

180
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:40,959
Speaker 4: A burger and the bun is made with a fluffy

181
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 4: egg whites is the base. It still has a great shoe,

182
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 4: it's covered in sesame seeds, but it's really high protein.

183
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 4: And then the burger itself is still so high protein

184
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,839
Speaker 4: and satisfying. So there's a arugula, there's like a spicy mayo,

185
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 4: there's caramelized onions, there's a delicious turkey burger. And I

186
00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 4: would say things like fries an easy ha is air

187
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 4: fried air fried air baked fries, mixing in combining fries

188
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,679
Speaker 4: with other vegetables, you still get that satisfying crunch. But

189
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:13,679
Speaker 4: doing ruta baga, doing carrots, doing sweet potatoes, high fiber,

190
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 4: high nutrients, and then doing some simple swaps like a ketchup.

191
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 4: I know is a diner saple, but I make a

192
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,719
Speaker 4: homemade ketchup that I think is way better and more

193
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 4: flavorful because ketchup is basically.

194
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 3: Dyed corn syrup. That's all it is.

195
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 4: So you can actually get so much flavor and nutrition

196
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 4: out of a freshly made tomato ketchup, and it tastes better.

197
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:46,319
Speaker 1: Right right, right, all right, So Lorala and Roy come

198
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 1: to you. You know they're eating habits. They want a

199
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 1: signature dish. What would you make for them?

200
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 4: Okay, So for breakfast, I would say, and I would

201
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 4: healthify the diner doughnut. Those always pleasantly surprised. I make

202
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 4: grain free apple cider donuts that are beautiful the fall season.

203
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 4: They have this coconut sugar coating with cinnamon and the

204
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 4: base it's a cassava almond flour baked doughnut.

205
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 3: They're still so moist and delicious.

206
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 4: I actually did content where I went to the Santa

207
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 4: Monica pier in with my little donut hat and I

208
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,440
Speaker 4: looked like a donut vendor with my friend Dan Yellow

209
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 4: Monette and other actress and we delivered donuts and people

210
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 4: were like, this is better than the fair food. People

211
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 4: compared it with the palelcakes and everything. So I would

212
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 4: say those doughnuts and then paired with I make really

213
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 4: good turkey sausages and other kind of dinery brunch food,

214
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:44,319
Speaker 4: my maple glaze turkey bacon, and then I make really

215
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 4: good high protein waffles with Quema flour almond flour. So

216
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 4: I think lots of opportunity for a healthy diner breakfast

217
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,320
Speaker 4: to help the bye it for sure, your hash browns

218
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,560
Speaker 4: made with Colie shreaded cauliflower, oh boy, crazy, But I

219
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 4: swear you would love it.

220
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: I'm sure I would. Do you have a favorite season

221
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 1: that you cook for or cook in?

222
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 3: So I also grew up in the Northeast, so I

223
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 3: love actually really he's in now.

224
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 1: I'm in La where in the northeast.

225
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 3: Western Massachusetts?

226
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 1: Okay, all right.

227
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 4: So I love skiing in the winter. I would say

228
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 4: fall is my favorite season. Nothing beats a Northeast fall.

229
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 4: Very Gilmore girls ask of the apple picking and we

230
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 4: would go and picking and apple ci or donuts.

231
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 3: It's that was my childhood. I love it.

232
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I grew up in the Northeast too. I miss it.

233
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 1: Southern New Jersey, Okay.

234
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 3: I have family in Cherry.

235
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 1: Hill, I don't. I grew up in the next town over, Amazing. Yeah, Yeah,

236
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 1: it's beautiful down there. Miss those falls, I really do.

237
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 1: And I actually kind of missed the winners. But then

238
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 1: I realized, I just I was a kid in those winters.

239
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 1: I don't have to drive around in them, and like,

240
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 1: you know, haul my own kids around in the winter,

241
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:03,199
Speaker 1: So it's a little different equation. But anyway, really missed

242
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:07,079
Speaker 1: the place. So tell us a little bit more about

243
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,959
Speaker 1: how you're using your platform and your culinary skills to

244
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 1: help people affected by the LA wildfires. Yeah.

245
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:19,959
Speaker 4: So I've always been very philanthropic since I was younger.

246
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 4: I started multiple nonprofits across the country to help inner

247
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:26,320
Speaker 4: city children and families. So when there's a community, especially

248
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 4: by community that needs help, the first thing I don't

249
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 4: even think of twice about it.

250
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 3: I'm just like, how can we do something? How can

251
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 3: we help?

252
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 4: So when the La fires happened, I lost sixty of

253
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 4: my clients and friends lost their homes. Sixty six zero

254
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 4: was like apocalyptic. So many of my celebrity clients were

255
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 4: in the Palisades Malibu. So many my friends just grabbed

256
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 4: things and ran, And I was like, Okay, my clients,

257
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 4: you know, as tragic as it is, they have somewhere

258
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 4: to go. But there were so many frontline workers, There

259
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 4: were so many people that worked in those homes, the

260
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:00,679
Speaker 4: house staff that had nowhere to go.

261
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 3: We're out of jobs.

262
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:05,080
Speaker 4: There's like ninety thousand people within ten thousand houses that

263
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 4: burned down, and I was like, what can I do?

264
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:11,680
Speaker 4: So immediately making meals. I partnered with Holy Smokes Kosher

265
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 4: Barbecue in La and she had a commercial kitchen we

266
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 4: could use, and we just I recruited volunteers, I recruited suppliers.

267
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 3: My food bake.

268
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 4: Community and my clients helped me raise two hundred and

269
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 4: sixty thousand dollars in one week to make thousands of

270
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 4: meals every single day because one what people were dropping

271
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 4: off at the firehouses for firefighters sleeping on the floor

272
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 4: working around the clock were donuts and gatorade, And like,

273
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 4: these people, these are heroes. These are people working around

274
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 4: the clock. They need high protein, nutritious, delicious, veggie forward meals.

275
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 3: That's what they need.

276
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 4: And a lot of the food was being turned down

277
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 4: because if something's not made in a commercial kitchen, they

278
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 4: couldn't even accept it. So people really wanted to help.

279
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 4: So my biggest mission was, guys, we can make more meals,

280
00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 4: but you're going to go way farther donating to us

281
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 4: to give them commercial grade food that they can accept,

282
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 4: then going into your kitchen and dropping off junk food

283
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 4: or food that you with the right intention that they

284
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 4: can't accept at the firehouses. So it was amazing the

285
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 4: community that came together what we did. I'm still going

286
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 4: next week to make some food for those that are

287
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 4: displaced as we speak. But it was amazing to see

288
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 4: the LA community come together and I feed feed our heroes.

289
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 4: The frontline workers were incredibly amazing, working around the clock

290
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 4: in that environment, in that air. I was miles away

291
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 4: in the kitchen we would deliver to the front lines,

292
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 4: and that I would be in an N ninety five

293
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 4: mask and the air was still affecting me.

294
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 3: So they are truly heroes. So the least I could

295
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 3: have done.

296
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:49,479
Speaker 1: Well, good for you and thank you for those contributions.

297
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 1: Much appreciated.

298
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 3: Are you in La currently.

299
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 1: No, I'm out actually in near Malibu now. So you know,

300
00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 1: we were affected. We weren't evacuated, but almost we were packed.

301
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 1: The cars were packed, We were ready to go at

302
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 1: a moment's notice. All our valuables were in the car,

303
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 1: you know, that kind of thing. But we never got

304
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 1: the we never got the message to clear out, you know,

305
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 1: the wind would change if we would get within five

306
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 1: miles or something like that, you know, because there were

307
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 1: multiple fires going in the Palisades fires and then there

308
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 1: was all kinds of different fires. They kept cropping up. Yeah,

309
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 1: but we really dodged a bullet, all right. If you

310
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 1: were to come into Luke's Diner, Brook, what would you

311
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 1: order and where, even more importantly, would you sit?

312
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 3: Hmm? I guess a comfy booth.

313
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 4: Whenever I post up and I somewhere, I'm always working.

314
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 4: I stay somewhere for a very long time until I

315
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 4: get eyes that I need to leave. But I would

316
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 4: order I'm very healthy, so they probably would. You'd probably

317
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 4: spit in my food because I would say, like the

318
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 4: can I change.

319
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 3: Everything on the menu? Kind of?

320
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 4: And I would be the second I asked for gluten

321
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:09,399
Speaker 4: free toast, I know my food would be spitting and

322
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:11,120
Speaker 4: I know it's not A.

323
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:14,200
Speaker 1: Model would never do that. He might, he might be

324
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 1: a little grumpy, but he wouldn't do that.

325
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:17,880
Speaker 3: I would ask.

326
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 4: For like an egg white omelet with veggies, and they'd

327
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:22,920
Speaker 4: be like, who is this healthy girl?

328
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:25,400
Speaker 1: I did that all the time. That's not a good deal.
