Ellen Bennett was working as a line cook when she volunteered to make aprons to outfit the entire restaurant.

On this episode, Ellen shares a peek into her story including some of her greatest challenges, some of her proudest moments, what it was like writing her book “Dream First, Details Later”, and even spills details on her life behind the scenes including her favorite 15-minute dinner, life as a mom, and some of her favorite places to eat in Los Angeles.
