We continue Denise’s favorites series, this time with one of her favorite restaurant owners, Tirzah! She is the co-owner of Tirzah’s Mexi-Terranean in the heart of El Sereno, CA. She has over a decade of experience in the restaurant business and is an incredibly supportive member of the community. We figured no better theme than community songs.

• Featured Songs:
  • “Everybody Everybody” by Black Box
  • “Everybody (Backstreet’s Back)” by Backstreet Boys
  • “Yes We Can Can” by Pointer Sisters

Also in this episode: Running a restaurant is a labor of love. Mexi-Terranean origin story. Where did Backstreet Boys come back from? The love-hate relationship with delivery apps. Never ending societal struggles. Learning to cook. Building community, and more!
