It started with a beer, well many beers. Back in 2007 Niki was doing what she does best. Producing a big ole party that brought her friends and future friends together over a beer - The Hollywood Assistant Beer Pong Tournament. In what would become a reoccurring theme, Kale and Niki were at the same place, at the same time, but never really met. At some point they became FACEBOOK Friends. A unmemorable moment that would later lay the ground work for the two of them to finally meet for real 12 years later. They both had careers in Entertainment (even worked at ICM together), but at some point realized food and hospitality were their passion. They independently were throwing dinner parties and hosting large scale events. Niki became a master baker and general recipe savant while Kale learned to brew beer, and make his own charcuterie. Niki started producing food and travel videos. Kale opened up a brewery. They lived their lives in parallel with their Facebook friendship being the only direct link. And like most Facebook friendships they never interacted with one another. That is until Niki posted a video of a clear pumpkin pie to her page. It popped up in Kale’s newsfeed and like over a million other people he “liked” the post. As time went on she posted more pictures of food, and he couldn’t help but notice the cute girl on the edges or in the background or taking a quick bite and smiling. Then one day while scrolling it dawned on him that this cute girl who’s pictures he’s been liking for the past year seemed pretty amazing. On a whim he decided to send her a Facebook Message. It was more likely than not to be ignored or simply missed, but what the heck. “Hey, I've been following your gastronomic adventures for a while and I love seeing the eccentric foods you find. While it's not quite as exciting as an octopus corndog, would you like to grab a cup of as off centered a coffee as I can come up with sometime?” ...and that's how it began!
