Hi, Boys and girls are all fired up.

Hi everyone, you are listening to Radio Cherry Bomb, and I'm your host, Carrie Diamond, coming to you from Outpost Studios in San Francisco.

I'm the founder and editor of Cherry Bomb Magazine, and each week I talk to the most interesting women and culinary creatives in and around the world of food.

Today's guest is Juliana Lateef, chef of Zuzuz in New York City.

Juliana is a total rising star, and Zuz is one of my favorite restaurants in the city right now.

She grew up in West Hartford, Connecticut, the youngest of 11 children.

Juliana got her start in the food world working at her parents' Middle Eastern grocery and

takeout shop. She later found herself in the world of working at her parents' Middle Eastern grocery and takeout shop.

She later found herself in the world of fine dining, and then as part of the opening team for

Zuzuz, an eastern Mediterranean restaurant in Midtown Manhattan. If you visit, be on the lookout

for Juliana because it is an open kitchen. Stay tuned for my chat with Juliana Lateef. Thank you so much to OpenTable

with Open Table that brought us to Olamaze in Austin, AOC in Los Angeles, foreign cinema,

Definitely, go visit these restaurants if you're in these cities.

And of course, you can book your reservation through Open Table.
