663: Restaurant Chef Life with Sara Kramer (Kismet) and Sarah Thompson (Casa Playa)

Today we have a really great episode where we go behind the scenes with two incredible chefs, Sara Kramer and Sarah Thompson. Sara Kramer is co-chef and co-owner of Kismet in Los Angeles, a restaurant that blends Mediterranean and Californian sensibilities flawlessly. Kismet has been a go-to for LA diners for nearly a decade, and we talk about the restaurant’s Resy Standby status. 

Sarah Thompson is the chef at Casa Playa in Las Vegas, a gem of a coastal Mexican restaurant that really impressed me on a recent visit. We talk about Sarah’s work at Cosme in New York that eventually led her to Las Vegas. What’s it like cooking in such a high-octane environment? We find out.

The views expressed in this podcast are those of the speakers – not of Resy—and do not constitute professional advice.
