The Griddle Cafe
Jodi is a self-trained chef who is the founder and CEO of one of the top breakfast restaurants in Los Angeles in the Hollywood area, The Griddle Café. Griddle Café serves only breakfast and lunch, and is packed from the moment they open. It is a living and breathing, extraordinary machine! Growing up, Jodi was not given sweets very often, and out of curiosity and desire, Jodi learned to create a wide variety of desserts as a child. In fact, while she was a teenager, she worked at Winchell's Donuts and Carvel Ice Cream where she became assistant manager. At Carvel, she refined her creative talents, as she was known to bring in all kinds of different ingredients to mix with ice cream. Finally, she had the opportunity to open The Griddle Café.

As Metromix Los Angeles said, "Breakfast doesn't get any more decadent than the Griddle Café." Due to her innovative style, creativity, and out of this world presentation and flavors, she is quite often referred to as the Willy Wonka of Breakfast.
Jodi is responsible, not just for the menu, but for everything that is The Griddle Café. She has developed the website and the Facebook Page, and she has The Griddle Café on Twitter. Her success is seen, not just from the celebrities that frequent The Griddle Café, but from the long waits virtually every day.
