    Ben Hundreds: Mixing Streetwear, Food, and Culture
    Jul 18 2024
    Ben Hundreds, the culinary wizard of LA’s fashion and food fusion, graces us with stories from his ventures like The Hundreds and the Family Style Food Festival. He brings the flavor of his 99 restaurant list to our conversation, and we take a stroll down Fairfax’s memory lane, reflecting on the local Jewish community's impact on the food scene. Together, we dissect LA's gastronomic culture, comparing it to other food capitals, and play a cheeky "F*ck, marry, kill" with some of the city's top restaurants. Join us as we reminisce about our favorite childhood eateries, from the onion rings at Carl’s Jr. to the staple that is In-N-Out. Don’t forget to follow Ben on Instagram (@benhundreds) for more savory stories and honest food reviews.
