Food and Friendship with Alex and Lily | Hot Pastrami with Alex Canter and Lily Rosenthal

In this episode of the Hot Pastrami podcast, we step into the warm embrace of nostalgia and personal history with a solo chat with your hosts, Alex Canter and Lily Rosenthal. From our early days as childhood friends at Temple Israel of Hollywood Day School to the present, we're peeling back the layers of our lives for you. Listen in as Lily chats about transitioning from acting and writing to making a splash in the LA food scene, and as Alex shares the tales of growing up in Canter's Deli and building restaurant technology. From personal stories like George the Deli Man's incredible 60-year tenure to the behind-the-scenes of ensuring food quality in the age of delivery, this conversation celebrates the bonds formed over good food and great company. Los Angeles, a city rich with culinary diversity, offers an endless tapestry of flavors, and we're here to share our favorite spots and memories with you. So, tune in and savor the stories and memories that come from sharing good food.
