Emily Fiffer and Heather Sperling saw something missing in food culture, so they decided to roll up their sleeves and do something about it. They opened their own restaurant, Botanica, featured in Los Angeles Magazine's 10 Best New Restaurants of 2017. It’s a lush paradise of all-local vegetables, fruits and dairy, a rainbow of grains and legumes, wild Pacific seafood, and spices from around the world. Take a listen to hear their energetic stories about problem-solving, passion, attention to detail, generosity, hospitality, and health.
