Evolved Nostalgia and Why Comfort Food Hits with Chef Alisa Reynolds

Episode 121 Published 4 years ago
Description
Chef Alisa Reynolds is the owner and chef behind Los Angeles’ beloved restaurant, My 2 Cents. She refers to her cuisine as “evolved nostalgia” - a place where she blends Southern comfort food and mixes it into a modern diet. Think gluten-free shrimp grits and a vegan peach cobbler - both so good some of her biggest fans include Solange and Issa Rae. Now, she’s the host of a Dear Media podcast called My Last Meal where she asks some of her famous customers, from Taco and Syd Bennett to Daniel Kaluuya, what their indulgence meal would be if it was their last and how food is intertwined in every emotion we have. In this episode, Chef and I discuss the importance of food and community, what her last meal would be, and how she’s making her mark on the Los Angeles food scene.    Listen to My Last Meal available now on Dear Media.   Love the show?
