Hi, this is Mimi Sheraton, author of A Thousand Foods to Eat Before You Die,

and you are listening to Radio Cherry Bomb.

Boys and Girls are all fired up.

Boys and girls are all butter.

Whole world's chicken, drinking, baby, and we're all about it.

Hi, everybody.

Welcome to Radio Cherry Bomb.

I'm Carrie Diamond, editorial director of Cherry Bomb, the indie magazine about women and food.

Today's show is very special because it's our 100th episode. To celebrate,

we taped our program in front of a live audience at Headley and Bennett headquarters outside

downtown Los Angeles. It was a fun night with more than 100 incredible guests and wonderful

snacks from chef Nina Clemente and Sue Chef Zena Sharf of the Smiles de Alba, a new hotspot in the city,

and Carrie Ha of Big Bar created a signature cocktail for us.

Carrie Gold was our sponsor for the evening, so there was a ton of wonderful cheese and

carry gold Irish cream liqueur on the rocks and lots of butter in the snacks, except the vegan ones, of course.

I was incredibly honored to interview Ruth Reichel, who we all know and love, and chef Nancy

Silverton of the Moza Restaurant Empire. Before we get to my talk with them, we'll hear from

author Stephanie Danler, who will read a very sexy selection from her bestseller, Sweet Bitter.

You will never think of oysters in the same way.

And kicking things off is Headley and Bennett founder Ellen Bennett,

with her pep talk titled The Art of the Hustle.

Ellen, by the way, entered the room via zip line.
