Jet Tila is known as a TV chef these days, thanks to his many appearances on the Food Network and elsewhere, but he has actually been working in the restaurant industry for pretty much his whole life. Having grown up working in his parents' Thai restaurants in Los Angeles, he then attended culinary school and went on to cook at a wide variety of foodservice operations, including Compass Group subsidiary Bon Appétit Management and at Steve Wynn properties in Las Vegas. He also operates five Dragon Tiger Noodle restaurants—four in Nevada and one at the Dragon Tiger Casino in Central City, Colorado—and is the research & development chef of fast-casual Pei Wei Asian Kitchen, with some 120 restaurants across the country. Tila was a keynote speaker at US Foods' recent Food Fanatics conference in Las Vegas, where he walked the 5,000 attendees through his own humble beginnings and ultimately his success as a TV personality and cookbook author as well as a chef and restaurateur. He also performed cooking demonstrations at the conference, including one for birria fried rice. One of his passions these days is Chino-Latino cooking, exploring the ways that East Asian and Latin American flavors go together. During these stressful times people are turning to comfort food, he believes, whether that's fried chicken sandwiches, noodles or Tila's particular passion, fried rice. He discussed his own passion for “grandma cooking,” and shared his perspective on where food is going these days.

Also undeniable is the growth of events, occasions, and festivals that celebrate and elevate Atlanta's films and filmmakers. One such event is the BronzeLens Film Festival, which is happening at Tara Cinema, August 20 through the 24th. BronzeLens turns sixteen this year, and it is clearly in the driver's seat.
