Locales Only : Two First-Gen Mamas Are Restaurant Prodigies: Angela & Mariam El Haj

SHOW NOTES

After a brief hiatus, Locales Only is back! This week we are going for a drive with Angela & Mariam El Haj — sisters who went from being first-generation American immigrants to owning Anaheim’s Calaca Mamas Cantina. You’ll get to hear directly from the pair how they have been raised in the restaurant scene, how their parents made the difficult journey from Palestine to Spain to the United States, and how it’s not as easy as it looks to compete with Disneyland! So buckle up and let’s hit the road with Locales Only. 

Big thanks to Fletcher-Jones Motorcar of Newport Beach for sponsoring the show and building out the all-electric Mercedes-Benz EQE as our rolling podcast studio!

Locales Only
There’s so much that makes Southern California one of the best places in the world. That’s why, for almost a decade, the founder of Locale magazine, Eric Hale, has been showcasing the people, places, restaurants, and events that give SoCal its reputation. Now he’s taking his show on the road, literally, in a brand new Mercedes-Benz EQE courtesy of Fletcher Jones Motorcars in Newport Beach as the rolling podcast studio. You’ll get a taste of what it feels like to go on a cruise with some of the biggest names in California. Think actors, musicians, award-winning chefs, business leaders, and locals who have built so much of the California coastline. So buckle up, turn your volume up, and let’s cruise with Locales Only.
