00:00We walked out of a restaurant earlier, and they were like...

00:02Literally a woman turned to her, like, friend and was like,

00:05well, I guess not.

00:07And so, who knows who they were waiting for, but it was not us.

00:09No, I love when they're like, I hear them pass me,

00:13and they're like, that's Chrissy Teigen,

00:14and the husband always be like, who?

00:19I think we all feel, like, really grateful to be here.

00:22It's really cool to be here for this little show that we made.

00:25So, yeah, we're all...

00:27I mean, the fact that Hollywood Reporter,

00:29or anybody wants to talk to us about anything,

00:30is pretty incredible.

00:32For me, this is my first time being here.

00:33I've been here supporting John and things,

00:35but to have my own thing going on is really special,

00:38and just people are so excited on the streets,

00:41and that gives you, like, this energy,

00:43and for me, this newfound energy that I don't get a lot

00:46because I'm usually at home with four kids,

00:48and so it's really nice,

00:49and it's a really, like, jolting, like, bolt of energy,

00:54and I love it. I love it. I do.

00:56How's the food been here?

00:58Oh, my God. We just had the most incredible Thai meal.

01:01It was very good.

01:01It was honestly really good.

01:03My mom's Thai, so for me,

01:04I always get certain things to understand

01:08if that restaurant is good.

01:09It's the papaya salad, and it's the Pad Thai.

01:11You ordered everything.

01:12I ordered absolutely everything on the menu

01:14and destroyed everything on that menu,

01:16and I am feeling it, and I feel great.

01:18I really don't have, like, a background in food.

01:23I don't have a super developed palate.

01:25I didn't have, like, huge interest in food.

01:27I grew up really poor.

01:28We didn't go out to eat a lot.

01:29We had very humble meals at home,

01:31and we've talked a lot about that,

01:33and I learned a lot through this show, you know,

01:36and I think I was always really intimidated

01:37by going to, like, nice restaurants and stuff like that,

01:40and we did go to a Michelin star restaurant for this show,

01:43but I think, like, the thing that I learned

01:45and that I hope a lot of people take away from the show

01:47is how accessible good food can be in a city like L.A.,

01:51and, you know, it's not all, you know,

01:54Michelin star and, you know, top-tier chefs.

01:56It's a lot of places that you probably walk by every day

01:59and don't even notice.

02:00But taking you to Providence and seeing your eyes, like,

02:03and your palate open up to a...

02:06I think it was your first tasting menu, right?

02:07I mean, it was really special.

02:08It was really cool to be able to see somebody

02:10experience something like that for the first time

02:12where so much love goes into their, whatever, eight plates,

02:15and it's really cool getting to witness that, for me, at least.

02:19It was also awesome just to see this part of your life

02:21that was not activated now as part of your life, right?

02:25No, yeah, I literally, like, we talk about it on the show,

02:28like, I blend chicken and drink it like a milkshake,

02:32or used to, I should say.

02:33I don't really, I haven't done that in a long time.

02:35How long has it been?

02:36Probably since the finale.

02:37I thought, I thought...

02:38You didn't achieve chip.

02:39I thought it was a joke.

02:41No, it was not a joke.

02:42It is, like, I talk about it so much,

02:44it is a little trolling,

02:45but during the strike,

02:47I realized I had no hobbies anymore,

02:49and so I started to cook,

02:51and it was in large part due to Dave,

02:53and, you know, I've been teaching myself

02:56how to do different things.

02:57I bought a cast-iron skillet, you know,

02:59like the whole, I really immersed myself in it

03:00because I had nothing better to do.

03:02But, yeah, my relationship to food

03:03really changed dramatically after doing this show.

03:06Do you guys remember your very first

03:08really fancy restaurant or tasting menu?

03:11I never really went to fancy restaurants growing up,

03:14and I thought there was a steakhouse growing up near me

03:18in Northern Virginia

03:19that I actually thought was the pinnacle of fine dining.

03:22Right?

03:24You know, you don't know what you don't know, right?

03:25You don't know.

03:26To me, that's the interesting point here is,

03:28what is fine dining, right?

03:30It's a special occasion,

03:31and I think that's sort of what the show is about, too.

03:34It's your point of view,

03:36and some people might think that

03:38a three-missure-star restaurant

03:39is the best meal in the world,

03:40and some people might think that

03:41La Casita Mexicana

03:42is the best restaurant in the world,

03:44and when I was growing up,

03:45I thought that this steakhouse

03:47was the epitome, like,

03:48you couldn't get more grand than that,

03:50and then as you travel,

03:52you realize that there's other things,

03:53but that doesn't mean that

03:54the steakhouse I grew up with

03:55is anything less.

03:57What do you guys have your own favorite

03:59or most memorable?

04:00I mean, Yangban for me

04:02was life-changing.

04:03It was a meal that it blended.

04:06It did this Jewish fusion

04:09of, like, beautiful Korean-American food,

04:12but with, like, a Jewish flair,

04:13so they'd have a matzo ball soup,

04:15but with maybe a fish broth,

04:16or the rice porridge that they served

04:19with a, it was a chicken pot pie rice porridge.

04:22It was exactly the way

04:24that if my brain operated in that way,

04:27it's exactly the food I would want to eat,

04:29and it's downtown L.A.

04:30It's kind of a lot for me to get there,

04:33but it was so incredibly worth it.

04:36I've had them cook at my house since.

04:38Learning their story was so beautiful,

04:40and they did this big remodel,

04:43and seeing the ins and outs

04:46of being a chef

04:47and an owner of a restaurant

04:48and seeing how complex that is,

04:51and they shared that with us,

04:53and you, like, some people ask us,

04:55like, what do you think

04:56is the most overrated restaurant?

04:57I'm like, I don't answer that question anymore.

04:59Like, there is so much heart and soul

05:01that goes into these restaurants,

05:02and the ones we saw alone

05:04were just so beautiful and spectacular,

05:06but that restaurant stands out

05:08as something that is really unique

05:11and special and delicious.

05:13Have there been other travel shows

05:14or food shows,

05:15whether fiction or nonfiction,

05:18that you guys have really liked

05:19or got inspiration from,

05:20or, like, did you have anything?

05:22Oh, I thought the mayor was so beautiful.

05:24Like, that chaotic episode of the family,

05:26like, it reminded me of my family a little bit.

05:29Seeing, you know, cousin work the front of house

05:32and completely have his life changed

05:34by the passion and the power

05:37that goes into being that first person

05:39you see at a restaurant.

05:41Seeing the growth through all the characters

05:43for me is really beautiful.

05:44I mean, I know it's such a beloved show,

05:46but for me, when I watch it,

05:48I see it as something so powerful

05:50and incredible

05:51and exhausting

05:53and frustrating

05:54and chaotic,

05:55and I love it.

05:57I think Bourdain is sort of

05:59Yes, my God.

05:59the answer.

06:00It's cliche, but I think, like,

06:02you talk about accessibility,

06:03and I think, like,

06:04he really made food,

06:05even before I did this show

06:07and wasn't really interested in food,

06:08he made it seem really fascinating.

06:11And I think it's true,

06:12the passion and, you know,

06:13yeah, he didn't make it seem

06:15like this big, scary thing.

06:16Yeah, clearly Bourdain.

06:19But I think for me,

06:20and for a lot of chefs,

06:21we always think about the PBS shows

06:24and the great chefs of Europe,

06:26the great chefs of the Southwest.

06:28I mean, they had this whole series.

06:30And I think for me,

06:31it's one of the reasons

06:32why we wanted to make the show, too,

06:34in a completely sort of different way

06:36was just shed light on things

06:38that a diner may not know about

06:40and a story on a dish

06:42that might resonate with somebody.

06:45So, you know,

06:46it was a little bit of everything

06:47we wanted to put on the show.

06:48What do you really want to do this year?

06:50Yeah, I guess I'd like to be in cage

06:52by the end of the year.

06:56You've lost answers.

06:57He's not going to watch this.

07:00He's not online at all,

07:01so I feel safe in saying that.

07:03But yeah, probably that.

07:04Mine are simple.

07:05I have four babies now,

07:06and I want to be able to have the energy

07:08to keep up with them.

07:09I want to take care of myself

07:11so that I can wake up

07:12and not have regrets

07:13of, you know,

07:15missing out on something they did.

07:16It's hard to split your mind

07:18between four kids.

07:19It's the physical time is something,

07:21but mentally it's a lot.

07:23And I have a little girl

07:24that's about to walk.

07:25I have a boy that's just a mush

07:27that does nothing.

07:28I have another boy

07:29that's so into sports

07:30and a girl that like

07:31is just absolute perfection

07:33in a girl form.

07:35And to divide your time

07:38and your brain space

07:38for them is really difficult.

07:41And so for me,

07:42I just want to be able

07:43to learn to cope

07:45and spend time on myself

07:48so that I can take care of them

07:49because it's a lot.

07:53And whether it's the soccer games,

07:56the Girl Scouts,

07:57this, that,

07:58and dividing that time

07:59and making sure

08:00that we're there equally

08:02for all of them.

08:03So for me,

08:04it's a lot about of like,

08:05it's a lot of personal growth

08:08and therapy

08:09and being able to be my best self

08:12so I can be great for them.

08:13I got two young boys

08:15and, you know,

08:17the past year was a lot more travel,

08:18a lot more work on the road.

08:21And I sort of got used

08:23to staying at home.

08:23So I'd like to figure out

08:25how I could work

08:26and be home.

08:28Listen, you give them

08:29100% of your time

08:30and they want 150.

08:31You're never going to do enough.

08:32They're going to be fine.

08:33Everyone's going to be in therapy

08:35for one reason or another

08:36later on.

08:37That's what I figure.

08:38I have friends

08:38that are literally like,

08:39I was hugged too much.

08:40I'm like, oh my fucking God.

08:42It like,

08:42you can't win with anything.

08:44What is a classic movie

08:46or TV show

08:46that you have pretended to see?

08:49My friends love Succession.

08:50I have not gotten into it

08:52just because it's,

08:53you know, provocative.

08:54It's a lot.

08:55It's in your face.

08:57And I have to be

08:58mentally ready for it.

08:59And at this moment in time,

09:00I am only capable of doing

09:03Paid My Numbers

09:03and Real Housewives.

09:04I have reenacted

09:07the Give My Daughter the Drugs

09:08scene from Terms of Endearment

09:10so many times.

09:11And yet, I have never seen it.

09:13I have never seen it.

09:14I've never seen

09:16The Office ever.

09:19And I know,

09:20I'm friends with some of the people

09:21all the time.

09:21I haven't even seen

09:22one episode.

09:24Couldn't even tell you

09:24what it's about.

09:25The Office.

09:26It's about an office.

09:27It's an office.

09:27But I've never seen

09:29a single episode

09:30of The West Wing.

09:31Oh, my God.

09:32Okay.

09:32And I've never seen

09:33any Law and Order ever.

09:34Wow.

09:35Yeah.
