It was really great to have Jessica Koslow in for a conversation. Jessica is the chef and founder of <a href="https://sqirlla.com/">Sqirl</a> in Los Angeles, a pioneering breakfast and lunch counter that serves inventive rice bowls and jams on toast and that inspired a whole generation of all-day cafés. In this episode, we talk a bit about Jessica’s early career before going into her exceptional jam business and hearing some big news about changes at the restaurant.
And before that, we have a fun conversation with Tigist Reda, chef and owner of the popular Chicago Ethiopian restaurant <a href="https://resy.com/cities/chicago-il/venues/demera-ethiopian-restaurant?date=2025-11-18&seats=2">Demera</a>. Tigist completes the <a href="https://blog.resy.com/category/resy-questionnaire/">Resy Questionnaire</a>, and we find out about her favorite food book, her ideal last meal on earth, and, most important, her favorite Chicago pizza.
