On a sunny day in April, our Apron Lady gathered some friends (Evan Funke of soon-to-open Felix, Farley Elliott - Senior Editor at Eater LA, Rebecca Merhej of Love & Salt, chef & recipe developer Julie Beth Tanous, Chris Oh of Hanjip, Jeni of Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams, Lily of Kale and Caramel, Chef Fabián Gallardo of Petty Cash, and food lover & writer Heather Platt) and had them over at her Echo Park home to cook their hearts out,  play with Oliver the Apron Pig and have one of her epic #BennettBrunches. Fresh pasta was rolled out, a tomahawk steak was being grilled out on the deck and fresh salsa was being mortar-&-pestled... every kind of brunch dish imaginable made it's way to the crazy colorful table (take a sneak peek at those linens!)

As morning slipped into a hot afternoon, Jeni's ice cream was immediately plucked from the fridge, dug into with spoons... who has time for a bowl?
