About the Show

Over 11 years and 570 episodes, John Rabe and Team Off-Ramp scoured SoCal for the people, places, and ideas whose stories needed to be told, and the show became a love-letter to Los Angeles. Now, John is sharing selections from the Off-Ramp vault to help you explore this imperfect paradise.

The Julia of "Julie and Julia"
Parsons reviews a cracking episode of Julia Child's first TV show, "The French Chef."

Cooking legend, TV personality, (and Pasadenan!) Julia Child gets the silver screen treatment in "Julie & Julia." To celebrate, LA Times food writer Russ Parsons revels in original episodes of "The French Chef." Russ was the first person to write about the Julie Powell blog, and was the one who showed it to Julia. He profiles the movie in August 12th's LA Times Food Section (see link on left).
