Los Angeles, CAI’ve always loved food. My father and my grandparents came from Eastern Europe so a lot of the foods I ate were different from what the other kids were eating. Remembering back I traded some of my lunches with kids from other countries. Loved trying new things! My grandfather worked in hotel restaurants in Chicago back in the 20s and when they eventually moved to the Los Angeles area they owned a small deli-market. We didn’t just eat food, I guess we lived it.
