"Restaurants are central to our lives - they’re where we laugh, where we celebrate, where we have serious conversations, where we share intimate secrets". Behind each of these special places are the people who dreamed them up and made them come to life. "We Are Where We Eat" is a new live event series in partnership with The James Beard Foundation that will go behind the scenes of some of L.A.’s favorite restaurants with the city’s most-celebrated chefs and owners to find out more about how they’re making it all work. First up, how restaurants make a neighborhood will be discussed. Independent restaurants have a unique impact on their neighborhoods, from the people they employ to the foods they source to the space they provide to the community. How is that expressed here in Los Angeles? Join LAist host Austin Cross (he/him) and special guests to hear how owners of vital neighborhood gathering spots have made their homes in communities around L.A. "We’ll have something tasty for everyone to try as well, from Bridgetown Roti and Little Fish". Special Guest: Andrew Muñoz (he/him) of Moo’s Craft Barbecue, Gilberto Cetina (he/him) of Holbox and Sandra Cordero (she/her) of Gasolina Cafe.
