Chef Susan Feniger

Margie talks with longtime friend and iconic culinarian, author, and entrepreneur Susan Feniger, best known for her Modern Mexican, Border Grill restaurants, trucks, and catering; BBQ Mexicana and Pacha Mamas, fast casual eateries in Las Vegas; and Socalo, a California canteen and Mexican pub in Santa Monica all created with her business partner Mary Sue Milliken. Susan has co-authored six cookbooks, starred on The Food Network’s popular “Too Hot Tamales” and competed on Bravo’s “Top Chef Masters.” In 2018, Feniger and Milliken were the recipients of the Julia Child Award and honored with the Gold Award from the LA Times for culinary excellence and innovation in SoCal. Feniger is active in the community, and currently sits on the boards of the Scleroderma Research Foundation, Los Angeles LGBT Center, and L.A. Tourism & Convention Board; she also works closely with the Monterey Bay Aquarium as a member of the Blue Ribbon Task Force, a panel of culinary leaders committed to innovative outreach to promote sustainable seafood.  As busy and accomplished as she is, Susan is equally generous, funny and plays a mean game of tennis [not to mention golf, skiing and pickleball!] Enjoy this spirited conversation with Margie and Susan!
