Chef Leo Bongarra Drops the Mic 🥘 (And the Recipes)
Laguna’s fast moving chef sat down to talk flavor bombs, rule-breaking and what’s next. Hear it all here…
After months of herculean effort, I finally got Laguna local favorite Chef Leo (Leandro) Bongarra to sit down and talk with me in this Monday’s “Best of Laguna Beach” radio show at KXFM 104.7. And oh … and what a surprising convo it was … I thought I knew this guy! The hour sailed by as we talked food and the food philosophy behind it … how he conjures those unexpected flavor pairings … his “Nonna’s” movie upbringing … why he’s chosen life as a (renowned) Consulting Chef. 🍷 He even spilled a couple dish secrets and one crazy-good Espresso Martini recipe you won’t find on any menu.
If you missed our live interview, don’t worry – I’ve tucked the replay right here.
But heads up – this one’s reserved for my Best of Laguna Beach Insiders.
