Kate Green

Kate Green may be famed chef Nancy Silverton's right hand but she's a culinary powerhouse in her own right. Her day-to-day includes overseeing VIP reservations, managing off-site events and planning social media for the Mozza Restaurant Group while at night she's a constant fixture on LA's dining scene - attending new restaurant openings, mingling with chefs and creating wakes with her radiant and infectious personality. We're privileged to call Kate a close friend and recently sat down with her to chat about her favorite seasonal ingredients, dining at the bar, and the best advice she's received from chef Mario Batali.

Ben Usen

Meet Ben Usen, Founder of Installation Cold Brew, an all natural coffee concentrate brewed and bottled in Los Angeles. e initially planned on interviewing Ben for our Meet A Local Monday series, but once we heard his story and his take on the current status of coffee in general, we felt it necessary to feature him as a guest editor. From a musician in the band, Papa to coffee brewer at Installation, we are quite intrigued by Ben and his dedication to bringing damn good cold brew to Los Angeles and beyond. You know us Angelenos and our coffee...
