Hello my beautiful friends and welcome to the icons podcast. Today we have a very special

guest, Janet Sukerini. And Janet actually happens to be one of the most interesting people

that we came across that runs really incredible restaurants. And yeah, we've been huge

fans. Before we even ever got to hear about you as the founder of all these restaurants,

one of the more Toronto, now some of them are here in LA. And it's such a pleasure to now

finally meet you in person, Janet. Thank you so much for making the time to be here today.

It's so great to be here. Thank you for the lovely dinner, the home cooked meal. And thank you

for being fans and supporting us. Do we pass your critique of being a top chef? Oh my God,

if you want me to judge the meal. Yeah, you can judge this. Yeah, be honest, brutally honest.

Yeah, you say, okay, what can we work on? What can we improve? I loved it was healthy. So I love,

you know, I prefer eating what I view as healthy. I think the scallops were perfectly cooked.

The potatoes, super flavorful, you know, roasted perfectly, had that little crispy crunch and

that rosemary and you know, bouncing out with some stir fried veggies. I thought it was a

perfectly balanced meal and delicious. Yeah, full, full, you know, full points. To give you guys

the background story, we've been going to Janet's restaurants for years and one of them is,

but a lot of money is. Yeah, definitely. One of them was nervous saying,

your Quill in Toronto is still is there. The other one is Gusto, which is so interesting. Like,

Gusto is probably our favorite. Yeah, the kale salad is legendary. If you guys are ever in Toronto,

this is world class. And I think one of the reasons we're so excited to have you on it,

as one of our first restaurants on the podcast is that we go to a lot of restaurants and

what we really appreciate is not, you know, we've been to all sorts of stars, one, two, three,

you know, as you know yourself, even coming to Home Cook Meal, there's a different experience
