Hey, everyone. Hope you enjoyed your Christmas if you celebrated. It's Rebecca and a quick note to everyone on scheduling before we start this show.

but anyone who loves Manhattan history is going to love this interview.

Angie comes from a family of restaurateurs and food lovers,

but her path to the culinary world wasn't so clear-cut.
