Hosted by Kerry Diamond\nProduced by Catherine Baker and Jenna Sadhu\nEdited by Jenna Sadhu\nMusic by Tralala \u201cAll Fired Up\u201d\n\nWelcome to the second episode of Hey Hey, L.A., a new miniseries from Radio Cherry Bombe where we talk to creatives putting their mark on the L.A. food scene. Our second guest is Jenn Harris\u2014food columnist and video host for The Los Angeles Times. \n\nBorn in Los Angeles, Jenn was lucky to have a Chinese grandmother on her mom\u2019s side and a Russian, British, and Jewish grandmother on her dad\u2019s who were both talented cooks. Most importantly, they happily shared their enthusiasm for food with their granddaughter. Jenn also discovered a love for writing as a child, so it\u2019s no surprise she wound up working as a food columnist in the city she loves. \n\nBut as Jenn shares with host Kerry Diamond, it took her a while to get there professionally. Jenn talks about growing up in a multicultural household, her path to the Los Angeles Times food section, and those who inspired her along the way, including the paper\u2019s late, legendary food critic, Jonathan Gold. \n\nThank you to Square for supporting our Hey Hey, L.A. miniseries.
