Livvin for Food with Olivia Bria
Hi! I’m Olivia Bria, but my friends call me Liv— and you can too! I’m a foodie, journalist and celebrity interviewer with a love for travel, fitness, entertainment, and of course, food! And trust me when I say, I love talking with people. Throughout my career, I’ve interviewed your favorite celebrity chefs, entrepreneurs, television personalities, creators and more for editorial content (ever heard of Alton Brown, Guy Fieri, or Rachael Ray?). Now I’m bringing those conversations to life, so that you can receive the culinary tea about your favorite cooking shows, the best kitchen tips and tricks, and honest opinions from well-known culinary faces on viral food trends—all at the same time I am! If you’re lucky enough, guests may even give a restaurant recommendation or two that you can add to your dinner wishlist. So walk with me, eat with me, and most importantly—cook with me—as the Livvin for Food podcast digs deep into diverse cultural food backgrounds and divulges on the newest recipes that you just have to try. I know I will be!
