Things to do
- Kismet’s Sara Kramer And Sarah Hymanson With Kate Berlant: Now this should be special. Kismet restaurant founders and cookbook authors Sara Kramer and Sarah Hymanson are talking with none other than comedian of the moment Kate Berlant — just off her mega sold-out show at Pasadena Playhouse earlier this year — at one of the best bookstores in L.A., Now Serving. The duo bring to life their unique spin on Mediterranean cuisine in their book, also called Kismet, and will talk about recipes (like their famed salty-sweet persimmon salad and their chicken that launched a whole separate restaurant), entrepreneurship, and writing with Berlant, followed by a meet and greet with fans.
