Welcome 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—food columnist and video host for The Los Angeles Times.

Born in Los Angeles, Jenn was lucky to have a Chinese grandmother on her mom’s side and a Russian, British, and Jewish grandmother on her dad’s 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’s no surprise she wound up working as a food columnist in the city she loves.

But 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’s late, legendary food critic, Jonathan Gold.
