Summary

Hosted by Kerry Diamond Produced by Catherine Baker and Jenna Sadhu Edited by Jenna Sadhu Music by Tralala “All Fired Up” Welcome to the final 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 guest is Nyesha Arrington of “Next Level Chef,” the culinary competition starring Gordon Ramsay. A native of Los Angeles, Nyesha grew up in a multicultural household and fell in love with food at a young age. She worked the line at her local Taco Bell as a teen then went on to culinary school and a career in fine dining. Nyesha opened her own restaurants in L.A. and found a fan in the legendary critic Jonathan Gold. “She is a chef whose food tastes like L.A.,” he wrote in his review of Nyesha’s second spot, Native. Nyesha joins host Kerry Diamond to talk about her career, her transition from a restaurant “pirate” running on fumes to a centered chef who prioritizes self-care, her role on “Next Level Chef,” and more.
