Reading Culture: New York vs LA

Dave is joined by Jacob Soboroff, MS Now senior correspondent and author of the book 'Firestorm.'

Dave makes a lettuce cup dish that takes Jacob back to his past, and then they discuss the Los Angeles fires, which are the subject of Jacob's new book, as well as his personal experiences having grown up in the area.

They finish with a MOIF comparing Los Angeles and New York in myriad ways.
