  • Alisa Reynolds-owner and chef of Mid-City LA’s health-conscious soul food haven My Two Cents-takes us out for a night of hitting up her favorite hidden gems across the city. With friends and LA creatives Steven Gerstein and Mayasha Long along for the ride, our first stop is Canelé in Atwater Village for Mediterranean-inspired farmers' market fare where the standout dish is a delectable salted branzino. Next up is an obligatory taco session at La Otra Escuela Taquería in Beverly Grove for-wait for it-branzino tacos. Finally, the trio swings by Bar Stella in Sunset Junction for a few rounds of St. Germain champagne cocktails, whiskey shots, and cigs. ("Sorry, Mom!") Back at My Two Cents, Chef Alisa whips up the Creole-inspired snack that everyone craves at 2AM: fried shrimp grilled cheese. Yes, please.

    This is easily one of the best munchies pieces without action bronson in months...these people are so dope!
    hipsters take note being cool, a good cook, & actually caring about people are not mutually exclusive

    Yes. Fucking. Ma'am. I'd like to work for her. She seems down to earth and still has her roots in family. I like that.

    Lmao what's up with the hate? She was one of the best chilled out non pretentious chefs on here. Plus her food looked amazing

      Tony Tng because sandwiches are king when you are drunk off your ass. Therefore, amazing.

    I really liked what she said about not broadcasting how her food is healthy, gluten free, vegan and all that, it's tasty and hygienic and that's what matters.

  • @briannawoods3412
    @briannawoods3412 9 років тому +24

    This episode was awesome and just as unique as the others I really don't understand the hate. She seems like an amazing chef who has overcome everything people told her would stop her, which I'm sure keeps her passionate about the food she puts out. They also seemed to enjoy their night & that's exactly why it's called "chef's night out" not "please the trolls on UA-cam". Keep up the good work & interview in these amazing talented people!

    • @bohnstube
      @bohnstube 9 років тому +7

      Maybe because of the thin veneer of the "oh so cool" hipster bullshit layered on top of cluelessly off-handed references to drug use and ever-present consumption of alcohol in the video is colliding with, what *supposedly* is the alleged point of the video, that "gluten-free!!!" and "vegan soul food!!!" are being touted now (along w/ the booze and the pot?), as components of a supposedly "healthier" hipster lifestyle?

      Ben Morran No worries there, Einstein. I don't make it a habit to hang out w/ a crowd who's either too drunk, too high, or honestly just too glaringly f**king clueless, to recognize when they're being bullshitted.

    I like her ideas on the vegan labels. I really think more people would enjoy the food if you don't impose that it is vegan. Just serve it to them and let them form their own opinion.

    @rawrrkrissybaby 9 років тому +5

    Why are the people in the comments so consumed with negative views the way other people live? If someone doesn't make choices that you agree with then so be it. It's THEIR life. I promise you being upset and being mean in a comment will not help. Plus, in case you had not noticed, this is filmed *one night*. Meaning what? That means that this does not intel the choices of their daily life. Also, to the people who say that everything in this series is hipster bullshit... well, that general means that a some put you realized the aforementioned and continued to view it. No one forcefully subjected you to viewing this. Have a nice day.
