Heidi takes you on a deep dive of how the Pea Diddy was concepted at Tesse and explains how to make the refreshing cocktail. (Insider scoop - Heidi also created the infamous bone luge a not to be missed signature dish at Tesse.)

Listen to the inaugural podcast of "We Know Where To Go" from the award winning podcast We Know WeHo, a podcast supporting the local businesses of West Hollywood, California. On the show, anything outside of West Hollywood is considered Weho adjacent…and that covers Beverly Hills to New York to Paris! Approaching the third year of the podcast, Host Tracy Paaso is expanding beyond West Hollywood to highlight other cities - with the same mission of supporting small businesses. Mikey Consbruck, former owner of V Wine Room and one on the show's former co-hosts, is from Nebraska and has recently returned to his home state to live. Most people don't likely think of Nebraska as a destination vacation spot, but you might change your mind after this podcast! This flyover state has much to offer and is definitely worth a visit…especially if you are an avid cyclist like Tracy. Mikey gives an overview of this midwestern state that is a short drive from Denver and accessible by most major and budget airline carriers (United, Delta, American, Southwest, Frontier etc.). He takes a deeper dive into the town of Hastings, that ranks as the #5 or #6 cities in Nebraska with a population of approximately 24,000. Listen to the small businesses highlighted from Hastings, and like Tracy, you may be putting Nebraska on your "Places to Travel" list for 2023....especially when you learn that Kool-Aid was invented in Hastings!

Shark-tank obsessed best friends Jack Della Femina and Nathan Katz had the idea for a pop-up in January 2020 and landed on the idea for avocado toast. After successful pop-ups in West Hollywood, Brooklyn and The Hamptons, Jack and Nathan opened up their first brick and mortar location in West Hollywood in January 2022 on Doheny Drive. Many restaurants offer avocado toast on their menus, but “Bravo Toast” has carved out a niche in the restaurant space by offering mainly assorted toasts. There are a few secrets to a great toast, the first being the actual toast that is locally sourced from Bub and Grandma's Bread. However, their savory burrata is flown in daily from an undisclosed cheese vendor in New York City. Bravo Toast is located at 632 1/2 Doheny Drive and is open Tuesday - Sunday from 8:00am - 4:00pm.

Do you have a sweet tooth and love desserts? Then this episode is for you! Better Than Sex is an all desserts restaurant located on the Melrose Corridor many consider to be West Hollywood (although the official zip code is designated Los Angeles).

This is a special edition podcast episode with Keith Kaplan, one of the founding trustees of the The Pandemic Recovery Coalition, a 501 ( c ) 6 organization that was created to advocate against unreasonable regulations and ordinances introduced by the West Hollywood city council creating burdens that threaten the survival of local businesses already struggling to recover from the losses incurred as a result of both the COVID pandemic and Black Lives Matter protests. Keith is joined in conversation with several West Hollywood business owners about an ordinance that the West Hollywood City Council will deliberate on Monday, November 1, that would create a city-wide $17.64 minimum wage for all employees​,​ across all sectors - not just for hotel workers effective July 1, 2022. In addition, this ordinance requires that all businesses provide compensated and uncompensated sick time, equally over 4.5 weeks in time off. This ​will be a sudden 35% (approximate) increase in wages which impacts West Hollywood, restaurants, and retailers, many of which operate on very small profit margins.

This week's episode features long-time West Hollywood resident, CJ Russo, who is a director, producer and writer of documentary films. She is no stranger to the film festival arena, with six short films playing at Outfest over the years, and winning an award for the Best Documentary Short with her film "Straight Down the Aisle" - confessions of lesbian bridesmaids. CJ's most recent project, Lady Buds, is her first feature documentary film that is making an appearance at Outfest 2021 (Los Angeles' LGBTQ Film Festival) before it lights the worldwide film festival circuit on fire. "Lady Buds is a feature documentary that tells the story of six courageous women who come out of the shadows of the cannabis underground to enter the newly legal market. With deep-pocketed corporations taking over the industry, these trailblazers risk everything to make their American Dream come true in the very market they helped create." Lady Buds kicked off its film festival screening schedule with a world premiere at the Canadian Hot Docs Film Festival earlier this year and Angelinos have the opportunity to catch a viewing at a very special sneak peek showing at Outfest on Friday, August 20th. Felicia Carbajal, one of the women featured in Lady Buds, also joins the We Know WeHo interview and brings her perspective as an activist in the LatinX, LGBTQ+ and cannabis communities to the conversation. Felicia provides insight about the gay history of cannabis and how queer activists were a big reason for the legalization of this industry and her personal involvement in providing cannabis to Bay Area AIDS patients in the 1990's.

Season two of We Know WeHo kicks off featuring a brand new business this week in the guest spotlight! Farm Cup Coffee opened last week with a ribbon cutting ceremony with Mayor Lindesy Horvath! In 2017, founders Tony and Emerson took their very first trip as a couple to the Mayan Riviera in Mexico. While they were there, they passed by a VW camper outfitted as a mobile coffee shop. They didn't pay too much attention to it at the time, but it planted the seed to what would become Farm Cup Coffee. The name Farm Cup Coffee came from the sustainable idea of farm-to-table food. Ethical food-sourcing has become essential to a sustainable future, so why not translate that to one of the most consumed beverages in the world? They focus on organic single origin coffee directly sourced from the farm owners so you know exactly where your coffee comes from. The coffee is roasted at source when possible to ensure the farmers receive the highest profit for their craft.

This week's episode is all about Women's History Month and is an ode to the women, past and present, who have made an impact on West Hollywood. This is a We Know WeHO SOLO episode if it were, with no special guest this week - but Maxine turns the tables on Tracy and swaps seats to interview the creator of the We Know WeHo podcast. Although West Hollywood is most famous for being the center of “Boys Town” and freedom of expression in the Rainbow District, women have played an integral part in the fabric of the Creative City's history. Tracy and Maxine are very proud of this as they recount the story of Marilyn Monroe and Ella Fitzgerald at the Mocambo Room on The Sunset Strip in 1955 and Alla Nazimova's infamous Garden of Allah Hotel where the Hollywood elite stayed and played that opened in January of 1927. One cannot recount the history of WeHo without mentioning the AIDS crisis and the jam-packed weekly support meetings called “Hay Rides” lead by metaphysical and spiritual pioneer Louise Hay in the West Hollywood Park auditorium and Project Angel Food founded by Marianne Williamson in 1989 to provide meals for home-bound HIV patients. Listen to hear all the amazing women that have been featured on We Know WeHo and be sure to go back into the archives and give a listen to any episodes you may have missed!

This week's guest are the charming father and son team, Harvey and Louis Jason, who opened Mystery Pier Books in a charming English green bungalow located down a narrow alley on the Sunset Strip in August of 1998. They carry exclusively First Edition literature: including collectible books both fine and rare, that are mostly signed; rare cinema material, scripts signed by the shop's many celebrity clients and general Hollywoodiana. One can find books signed by the likes of Dickens, Hemingway, D.H. Lawrence and even the great Harry Houdini. Mystery Pier Books is internationally renowned and is called "One of the Most Important First Edition Bookshops in the U.S.". and is listed #1 in the Ten Best Hidden Gems of L.A. Listen as Tracy sits down with these two lovely English Gentlemen and hears all about the treasures tucked away on the bookshelves including works by Anne Frank, Agatha Christie, and a true first edition of "Gone With the Wind" signed by Margaret Mitchell - a great lineup honoring Women's History Month. You might be surprised by the celebrity clientele who are fan favorites of this charming little tucked away literature nook off Sunset, and even more surprised that Flea (Red Hot Chili Peppers) is a regular who has been coming for over 20 years. Tracy wants to know if Prince Harry, Oprah or Lady Gaga have walked through the doors...give the episode a listen and find out for yourself! Mystery Pier Books is open seven days a week from noon until 5pm.

This week's episode is a follow up to last week's conversation with Shannon Morton from Black Women Lead as the team talks to Nick Meyer. Nick Meyer is the Director of Operations at the Umbrella Hospitality Company that has a portfolio of several unique and trendy cocktail establishments in Los Angeles: Melrose Umbrella Company, LONO Hollywood and The Corner Door. Hear how quickly the team pivoted to offer to-go cocktails to their customers to adapt and how quickly a new endeavor, Umbrella Taco Co., came to life early on in the March 2020 shutdown. The Melrose Umbrella Company knows it is all about community, and supporting each other and those in need. Their Cocktails for Cause program, supported by EJ Gallo, features two to-go cocktails offered the month of February to help support the community programs at Black Women Lead. The art on Blacker the Berry, from a local young queer Black artist can be purchased separately and tiki lovers will definitely want to put an order in for the second offering - the Chief Lapu Lapu tiki cocktail kit. This week's episode is all about cocktails, community and magical COVID pivots. Enjoy and make sure to purchase art or order up some cocktails if you are near to West Hollywood!

This week local activist Shannon Morton, founder of Black Women Lead, joins the We Know WeHo team to share all the incredible service projects she is heading up through her non-profit organization that was founded last year in the month of June. Shannon's efforts are deeply rooted and all about helping the community and those in need. Black Women Lead give away 600 hot meals a week and 800 bags of groceries through the Black Women Lead Brown Bag program. After a trip to skid row downtown LA, Shannon saw a need for hygiene supplies and has recently started a Black Women Lead hygiene kit that is handed out in a backpack to those in need. For the month of February, she has teamed up local bar owners at Melrose Umbrella Company to create a cocktail, Blacker the Berry, with a label created by a young Black queer artist. EJ Gallo is donating $1 for every cocktail to go sold and Melrose Umbrella Company is matching the donation. Listen to hear Shannon's list of local Black owned businesses near West Hollywood and of course, a few favorite places to eat, shop and play in WeHo.
