Zach Brooks is the General Manager of Smorgasburg LA, the largest weekly food market in L.A., with more than 10,000 folks attending the huge, historic space each Sunday at the Row DTLA. From phenomenon to institution, Smorgasburg LA has jump-started business for legendary L.A. names like Tacos 1986, Wanderlust Creamery, Evil Cooks, and Broad Street Oyster Company.
With a bicoastal culinary legacy going back to his days as the steward of NY's Midtown Lunch, Zach traces both his origin and the origin of L.A.'s greatest Food Festival, and discusses the immense challenge of staying consistent while continuing to evolve.
