Antonio Diaz is a young entrepreneur who started the “culinary storytelling” journal Life & Thyme Magazine as a hobby. Today, it is an influential international publication. Based out of Los Angeles, Antonio and his team have most recently won a third Emmy for their PBS series, The Migrant Kitchen, which explores California's booming food scene through the eyes of a new generation of chefs whose cuisine is inspired by the immigrant experience. Antonio and I talked about how the magazine and the television show came into existence, and, by extension, we discussed what it means to eat like an American these days, especially in L.A. where cultures can mix and blur into one another.
