The short version
Two kids from LA who never stopped being hungry.
We're Peter and Lisa, married, born and raised in Los Angeles, and lucky enough to call the San Gabriel Valley home. We started filming our weekend meals so we wouldn't forget them. Then strangers started showing up to the same restaurants, and it became the best hobby we've ever had.
Lisa
- The creative one. Keeper of the boba leaderboard.
- Can tell you which SGV bakery to hit based on the day of the week.
- Dream: a flower shop that sells boba and has a nail salon in it. (We're serious.)
Peter
- Hoops-obsessed marathon runner.
- On a mission to see a game in every NBA arena and rate the food at each one.
- Believes any run over 10 miles legally entitles you to KBBQ.
How we operate
Three rules we don't break.
Honest over hyped
If we wouldn't eat it twice, we won't tell you to eat it once. No pay-to-play reviews, ever.
Community first
The SGV's small, family-run spots made us who we are. Sending them customers is the whole point.
Fun is the format
Food videos, arena quests, race medals. If it stops being fun, we'll stop filming it.
Beyond the plate
The other things we build and back.
