Co-Hosts Arnold Byun and Ben Hon wrap up 2020 as they recount moments and memories — from hosting pop-ups, a press trip to Australia/New Zealand early on to finding themselves in LA.

We change things up as Co-Host Ben turns the tables and Arnold becomes a Guest on the show for this Off Menu episode. He answers the question he's come to dread: "Hey, How's LA?" We talk about life in LA: transitioning during the pandemic, endless errands, Arnold's upbringing, and how he became involved in restaurants.

In the first-ever segment of OFF MENU; we announce our new co-host Ben Hon (@stuffbeneats). Ben is a restaurant kid at heart; worked in finance and is now a food photographer (and influencer). I hosted him before as a guest on the podcast and have since became fast friends. We decided to create a corner where we converse on industry news and happenings. Today, we check in on each other and speak on the role of a food influencer in the current state of restaurants. - Arnold
