Courtney Storer & Joanna Calo Of The Bear, Live From Jubilee L.A.

It’s a special episode of Radio Cherry Bombe recorded live at our very first Jubilee L.A. conference this past September! Host Kerry Diamond sits down with two of the powerhouse women behind the hit series The Bear: Executive Producer Joanna Calo and Co-Executive Producer and Culinary Producer Courtney Storer. Joanna has worked on Hacks, BoJack Horseman, and the Marvel film Thunderbolts, while Courtney—who started her career in HR at Whole Foods before cooking at beloved L.A. spots like Animal and Jon & Vinny’s—brings real-world kitchen experience to the show. Together, they’ve helped create one of the most talked-about series on television, capturing the chaos, camaraderie, and heart of restaurant life like never before.

The conversation is introduced by Kiano Moju, chef, recipe developer, and author of AfriCali, and Sarah Simms of Lady & Larder, the specialty shop she founded with her late sister, Boo Simms.
