Lien Ta is the Co-Owner of All Day Baby and a Founding member of RE:Her. All Day Baby, a feel-good restaurant with the soul of a diner. Located in the Silver Lake neighborhood of Los Angeles, it was open for just three and a half months before the mandated closure on March 16, 2020 in response to the novel coronavirus. Today, with over 60 employees furloughed, it is open for takeout and delivery with a small team and limited hours. Lein's first restaurant was a fun little restaurant in Korea town called Here’s Looking At You, also co-owned by Chef Jonathan Whitener. A “Restaurant of the Year” by Food & Wine Magazine in 2017. Lein and Neil talk about the All Day Baby's menu, their biscuit window and tasty drink menu. Take a listen to the full interview below.
