Where Jesse Tyler Ferguson Takes His Famous Friends In LA

"Guest: Mandy Moore “I think you all had just shouted out Bar Chelou, so that's why that was on our list. It’s right next to the Pasadena Playhouse, which I go to a lot. All the dishes were incredible but the one we were most surprised by was the carrot salad. The carrots are just so thinly sliced and diced—it was almost like a slaw, really. And the flavors were just so incredible. I've learned that those unassuming dishes at restaurants are usually the ones that I'm going to be the most excited by. I ate carrots every day of my life for so many years. It was the thing that my mom put in my lunch pail growing up every day, so to have them elevated and those flavors brought out in such different ways is so special. It reignites my excitement about root vegetables that I tend to think are a little boring. The rainbow trout was also incredibly special. Mandy and I shared that and loved it.”" - brennan carley
