QUARTERBACK S2

Netflix Original

Netflix

With the upcoming football season starting soon, we can get our fix by watching S2 of Netflix's Quarterback which follows select quarterbacks Joe Burrow, Jared Goff, and Kirk Cousins during the 2024-2025 season. We get to see them on the field, during practice, and when they are out and about living their lives. We enjoy being able to know how they see the game and navigate their lives as well as to work alongside their teammates. If last season was any indication, we know that this will be a quick binge as we get ready for a great football season ahead.

BALLARD

Prime Video Original

Prime Video

Avid readers of Athleisure Mag know that we have been a fan of Prime Video's BOSCH the flagship show as well as its first spin-off BOSCH: Legacy and now the latest, BALLARD! These Michael Connelly series are based on his books that allow us to follow a series of cases in the LAPD and to get to know those who are investigating even more. In BALLARD, we are introduced to Renee Ballard (Maggie Q) who we know left Homicide in the LAPD due to an incident and now helms an interesting team of Reserve Officers as well as volunteers to help solve cold cases.

As we watch her navigate getting justice for those that have been forgotten, we are reminded of our favorite characters from the BOSCH universe that even include Harry Bosch (Titus Welliver) himself!

Like the other series in this universe, it is fast paced, there are multiple cases and twists and we're sure you'll find it as satisfying as we did. We're already looking forward to what S2 will involve to see how this story will continue.

EASY MONEY: THE CHARLES PONZI STORY

Apple Originals

Spotify

In terms of financial crimes, we are all aware of Ponzi Schemes as it has been attached to a number of downfalls that people have found themselves in. In Easy Money: The Charles Ponzi Story, we find out about the man, Charles Ponzi (Sebastian Maniscalco) who came to the US to live his American Dream and due to various choices that he made became the symbol that many people have been connected to that have involved swindling and other nefarious behaviors financially.

We trace Charles' story from being in Italy, coming to the US, attempts at making an ernest living, to figuring out a plan that wasn't fully formed but had to be moved upon.

It's doing this plan and continuing to add others to it in order to fund it that creates what we know to be the Ponzi Scheme that continues to pop up across industries in a number of ways.

DEPT Q

Netflix Original

Netflix

Prior to watching Dept. Q, we were not aware that it is an adaptation of Department Q, a 10 book series originally. But within the first few minutes, we were hooked on this Danish crime thriller series where Carl Morck (Matthew Goode) is a talented policeman who works in his own way. Coming off of an injury on the job, he is given his own unit where he is tasked with finding a Cold Case to solve in the basement of the police station with very minimal resources. Over the course of the episodes he puts together an interesting 4 person team who also have their own way of solving the abduction of a well known person who has been missing for 4 years.

What's enjoyable about this series that we hope will have an additional season, is that you get to see the process that each of the characters go through to solve the case as a team as well as individually. We also get to know a lot about the people in the life of the victim and how they could be involved or how they are able to give clues that may not have been examined thoroughly before.

THE BETTTER SISTER

Prime Video Original

Prime Video

We really enjoyed the twists, turns, and misdirects that took place in The Better Sister which takes place in The Hamptons and in NYC. We get to see 2 sisters who have an interesting connection beyond being siblings and how they have lived very different lives when they have not been around one another.

When life events turns both of their worlds upside down, they have to get over their grievances and distrust with one another and learn to be a team in order to find out what happened to them and how they can continue to live a new life that they have imagined them for themselves.

THE BEAR

FX Originals

Hulu

The wait is over! S4 of The Bear takes us back to Chicago over the course of 10 episodes of this final season of a beloved series. Whether you binge it all or spread it out all episodes can be seen right now!

We have followed Carmy Berzatto (Jeremy Allen White), his family, and the team that has worked with him since the beginning. We have seen the sacrafices that they have made personally and professionally, the transition that has taken place in the restaurant, and industry titans that have made appearances in this show. How will this all be tied up and what more will we be able to learn about this group that we have watched since 2020? We're going to find out!

FOOD PHILOSOPHY | CHEF ESTHER CHOI

We're thrilled to kick off the Summer season with Chef Esther Choi who graces our cover. We have enjoyed seeing her on a number of shows on Food Network, whether she is participating in culinary competitions or hosting shows. We also enjoy having a great meal at her restaurants whch include Mokbar and GAHM that showcase Korean Cuisine that is filled with flavor and made with love. We wanted to know more about her; how she got into the culinary industry; how she embraced food entertainment; and upcoming projects that she is working on.

We also enjoyed spending time with her at our cover photoshoot at The Maybury in Hudson Yards to showcase some of our favorite must-haves to enjoy as we continue into the upcoming Summer season!

ATHLEISURE MAG: We had the pleasure of chatting with you last month when we first met and you spoke on how you came to falling in love with food. So, we’d like to know what was the first chef that you remember seeing that made you think that being a chef, could be a career?

CHEF ESTHER CHOI: Oh man, that’s a hard one!

AM: We know!

CHEF EC: You know what? I think for me, growing up not in NY which obviously, has a very strong obviously food culture – I grew up in a very, very small town in NJ and there was nothing like that where I grew up. So being in the food industry wasn’t very glamorous, but I grew up watching a lot of chefs on TV. So it was Jamie Oliver (The Great Cookbook Challenge, Jamie's One Pan Wonders, Jamie's Air Fryer Meaals), Bobby Flay (Beat Bobby Flay, Bobby's Triple Threat, BBQ Brawl), or Iron Chef Morimoto (Iron Chef Japan, Iron Chef America, Morimoto's Sushi Master) – these were the role models that I grew up with watching. Even as cheesy as it sounds, even chefs like Rachael Ray (Rachael Ray's Holidays, The Curse, Rachael Ray's Meals in Minutes) or Giada De Laurentiis (Giada in Italy, Giada Entertains, Giada at Home 2.0), these chefs on screen to me, were like real chefs! They were people teaching you how to cook on TV and to me, that was the chef world. I always imagined my career – I mean, back then I didn’t know that I wanted to be a chef. But, I always admired these people who were on TV and I could see a real career path in food. So, I think for someone like me in a small town and I think that this goes for a lot of people in America in general. You watch these screens and these chefs cook and compete and that makes a role model and a career path to have.

AM: Couldn’t agree with you more. Like you, growing up in an area that was not in the city and being able to enjoy the early days of Food Network, I remember countless episodes of watching Chef Morimoto who was our previous cover.

CHEF EC: Oh yeah – yay that’s right!

AM: Right and seeing all of these different chefs at that time, when those shows were on, I didn’t think of it as this career that I know it is now. When you think about culinary and what it can mean for a number of people who are navigating that, it’s a whole other level!

CHEF EC: Totally, exactly!

I mean, now that the food industry has become this idealistic, glamorous thing, for me and a lot of people now, they look up to people. That’s not to say that they didn’t do that back then as well! I feel like that’s what it was.

AM: When did you realize that you wanted to go to Culinary School and where did you go?

CHEF EC: I went to Culinary School in Manhattan at the Institute of Culinary Education (ICE). When I first moved to NY, it was because I knew that I wanted to be in food. That was when I decided that I wanted to have a career in food and I felt that going to culinary school was the fastest track to do that. By that age, I had already graduated college and I felt that I was already late to the game. You hear all of these stories like chefs working in kitchens when they were 15 years old! You hear all of these crazy glamour stories of all these chefs working at such a young age. So for me at 21, I felt like I was late in the game and I felt very rushed to catch up to the rest of the world in culinary. When I went to Culinary School, I realized that it wasn’t like that at all! There were so many people of different age groups, career changes, and even young kids that had just graduated from high school. So it was a very big mix of people in culinary school and I think that it was great to see people from various walks of life decide that they want to pursue food. It seems like a glamorous and passionate kind of career to have. So, when I did go to culinary school, I did quickly realize that there was a whole different world here and everyone has their own different career path.

Culinary School was one of those things that’s like continuing education. You can go at any age and it’s a short program too especially in Manhattan. It’s not like a college, it’s more of a program. You can literally do a whole culinary program and get your degree in 6 months in Manhattan.

AM: Woah!

CHEF EC: Yeah. It was a really good opportunity for me. I did the fast pass program in 6 months of school and I did 6 months of internship.

Yeah and lots of chefs, they didn't even go to culinary school. I know a lot of chefs have opinions about that. For me, it was a great, great thing. I never regret one bit of culinary school. It fast track teaches you everything that you need to know about the careers that you want in culinary. You’re not going to learn all of the skills that you need to know in that short period of time. But you will learn, for me – I didn’t know anything about this industry when I got there. For me, when I first moved to NY and went to culinary school, it was kind of a fast track to figuring out what I wanted to do. You find different careers in food. There are so many different kinds of food careers that you can have an culinary school gives you that perspective and teaches you about what is out there.

AM: That’s really cool.

When did you realize that you wanted to open your own restaurant?

CHEF EC: That dream, I have had for a long time. I have always wanted to be an entrepreneur since I was a kid. I was kind of one of those weird quirky kids who would sell candy on the school bus and I started working at a very young age at 14. I’ve always wanted to have a job and I always liked the idea of making my own money and being very independent. I always knew I wanted to be an entrepreneur and both of my parents were small business owners. I grew up going to their dry cleaners with my parents every day, seeing them run their business and their shops. So for me, I think it was always in me to open my own business or to be an entrepreneur.

Obviously, that solidified when I went moved to NY and went to Culinary School. I knew that I definitely wanted to own my own restaurant one day. So it was a culmination of all of those different things. Not only did I have this ambition to have my own business – I didn’t know it would be my own rant. I think that through having a culinary career later, that’s when I put 2 and 2 together and I knew that that was what I wanted.

AM: For those who have yet to enjoy Korean cuisine, what are the spices and foods that are indicative of it?

CHEF EC: For Korean food, it’s a really special cuisine that is filled with a lot of flavors that are fermented. You’ll find a lot of fermented flavors in Korean food which creates a lot of depth and umami. Things like Kimchi and Gochujang which is a Korean fermented chili paste and there is Doenjang which is fermented bean paste. Of course there is soy sauce and a lot of umami and depth of flavor and I think that that is what makes Korean food so special because there is that aging process because of the fermentation. It’s unlike any other cuisine where it takes a lot of experience. It’s not just a recipe that you can follow, right?

AM: Right!

CHEF EC: Korean food is really about that family taste – in Korean there is a phrase called Son-mat. Son means hand and mat means taste and it literally translates to hand taste which means that every chef or every grandma or every mother has their own flavor in their hands. There is no recipe to it. A lot of Korean food is like that where it’s made with the love that you put into the dish. That’s how my grandma taught me about food.

Growing up with my grandmother in South Jersey, she was the most amazing cook that I know and obviously because my grandma has her special flavors and the way that she creates dishes with local ingredients we had no access to Korean food – she grew her own Korean vegetables. She would take America produce and make it into Korean food. She did crazy things like that and she was ultimately my biggest inspiration and that is what I grew up with. I always thought it was the coolest thing ever and she taught me the way to love food and to express your love through food. It’s not just a family recipe or that she taught me step by step on how to do it. She taught me the way, the culture, and the foundation of where these foods come from. That is the thing. She taught me the philosophy of food. I carry that with me through everything that I do – whether it’s my menus, my recipes, but also the way that I run my business and the way that I treat my family and my friends. It’s a very emotional thing for me to be in food and to share this with other people.

AM: What is that process like for you when it goes into you bringing new items onto your menu? Is that always a major process or do you look to continue tweak various iterations?

CHEF EC: I am always looking to create something new and something fresh. It’s kind of like the curse of being a chef. You can’t just be stagnant and that’s why we love it! It’s the passion and creativity and chefs are artists ultimately. It’s like, honestly the bane of my existence as a business owner, but without that side of me, I’d never even have a business! I love it so much, but it’s also really hard to find inspiration and to be original at the same time. It’s just hard, but I have to find it. I try to find it in my daily life. Whether it’s finding inspiration in the small things – just like going to the Farmer’s Market every week and looking up different produce and looking at what’s new, new trends, and collaborating with other chefs or other artists. They don’t necessarily have to be other chefs. Collaborating with you for example during our shoot on the looks and stuff – that’s part of that process and there is creativity and I try to find inspiration in everything that I do. I can’t just do the same thing every day. That would also be a whole other curse! I’m just cursed in that way – like, I have to create for myself – it’s the only way that I can find inspiration.

AM: What do you look for when it comes to opening a new concept or even locations. Obviously, you have a number of locations here in the city as well as in Vegas. Are you constantly thinking of how you expand that world of Chef Esther Choi?

CHEF EC: Yes! So, I am always looking for opportunities and I think as an entrepreneur and I think that it is a whole other side of things that is separate from being a creative chef. As a business owner, you can’t just be creative all the time or else you will go broke! So my entrepreneurial side is always looking for new opportunities. Saying yes to opportunities and taking risks – you can’t stop taking risks because then you just die as a business owner and your business becomes stagnant. I’m always looking for the next thing and as hard as it is, it’s just chasing every opportunity and seeing what hits. It’s almost a numbers game. I just have to say yes to everything and one of those outcomes will always be a hit. To be honest, as an entrepreneur in order to be successful, you have probably failed that many more times!

AM: That’s right!

CHEF EC: It’s so awful! To succeed once, you have to fail 10 times.

AM: Exactly!

CHEF EC: For me, it’s my life was a failure and then that 1 time, it hit and it put me on the map. It’s always been that way for me. I don’t take failure as a downfall, I take it as a moment to realize, learn and to grow from those mistakes or those failures. To fail, you still have to keep doing it which sucks and it can be so heart wrenching and awful, but what else am I going to do – not do anything?

AM: 100%!

We were talking a bit earlier about the culinary landscape and the nuances that are involved. In addition to being a restaurateur, when did you realize that you wanted to go into TV as well? You have done culinary competitions and it was great to see you on Netflix’s Iron Chef: Quest For An Iron Legend and then hosting Food Network’s 24 in 24: Last Chef Standing. When did you realize that that was something that you also wanted in your portfolio?

CHEF EC: So, before I opened my restaurant, I worked in culinary production. I worked in magazines. You hear about chefs staging in different restaurants all over the world in Europe etc. But for me, I staged in a lot of different production sites. I staged at Saveur Magazine, I was an intern at Food Network and that became a full time position and I actually worked in the test kitchens there for 2 years after my internship. I also worked on a number of TV shows.

AM: Oh wow!

CHEF EC: I did a lot of research before deciding what I ultimately wanted to do. I love the world of food, food styling, production, magazines, and all of that. I really did like it, but it was a little slow paced for me. I really loved actually working in restaurant kitchens and that is what I ultimately ended up choosing in opening up my own spot. The production world and entertainment was a big part of my early chef career and it was a big motivation factor for me as well. Because when you work at the Food Network behind the scenes, you watch these incredible chefs and insanely talented people whether they are on camera or off camera – they were so talented. You’re talking about the 2% of the best in the world in this business. That is what I saw every day and it was such a huge motivation factor for me. If they’re doing it, I can do it too. It wasn’t like admiration like being star stuck – it was more, how can I become that? How can I be Morimoto – how can I be an Iron Chef? Do I want to work with the Iron Chef? No, I want to be the Iron Chef. That was a big inspiration for me in my younger years and that is why I set forth in doing the work, opening my own business, doing my own food, to ultimately go in and be on screens and to inspire other people too. I think that that was the plan for me and the goal to be that one day. I just had to take the steps that I had to take. For me, I did think that I could do it as well. So I just did it. Being around that in my younger years of my career, it made me so ambitious to want that as well since I was around it all the time. I think that it has a big impact on me. So after I opened my own restaurants and all of that, it just came naturally. I was in the entertainment world, I knew the steps that I needed to take to go into that world a bit more and it just naturally happened.

Now, here I am, a host of multiple shows! It actually is really hard and very different being a chef, an entrepreneur, an owner of restaurants – being a host – it’s a whole new playing field for me and it’s a skill that I have to continue to develop. I practice every single day. I don’t think that people realize how tough it is.

AM: It is a different beast. It’s about relatability in addition to having that domain expertise. I’ve done TV lifestyle segments as well as being on HSN selling collaborative designs and it’s a different hat.

CHEF EC: Totally different thing and skill set that has to be learned. Learning a new skill is always exciting for me whether I’m great at it or not – you can still learn! I’m learing.

AM: You never stop learning!

What are some upcoming projects that you have that you feel you can share with us that we can keep an eye out for?

CHEF EC: I think that people know me as a chef, a host, entrepreneur – one thing that I haven’t really succeeded yet on is the CPG world - Consumer Packaged Goods. I have been developing multiple products for years – I mean I try, fail, try, fail and it has been over 5 years since I have been trying to put out a product that is successful. That is a world that I am trying to navigate now. I have been working on an iced tea line.

AM: Refreshing!

CHEF EC: It’s a Korean iced teas all very organic, natural, naturally brewed and not using any chemicals or aspartame or anything like that. It’s very clean and low calorie. All from Jeje Island from Korea. I have been developing the iced tea line for quite awhile now – you can find it at my restaurants.

AM: Definitely want to check that out!

CHEF EC: I’m still not at a point where I can sell it from a big manufacturer. I am working on that.

I also have a sesame oil line that I have been working on it. Sesame Oil is a big part of Korean cuisine and I hope to create more awareness around Sesame Oil - to use it as a cooking oil much like olive oil. I want people to use it a lot more. I have been working on that and of course my Kimchi line – how can I not do that as it is a part of who I am! There are multiple different products that I have been working on and I hope I can get them on the shelves sooner than later.

AM: What do you want your legacy to be whether in general or in this space?

CHEF EC: Oh, that’s a tough one. I want to inspire the younger generation especially as an Asian-American female. I never had a role model to look up to that was like me. I had to kind of find it in myself. I want it to be a lot easier for the younger generation whether it is as a minority or as a female. I want to be a motivation to them to inspire them in their dreams and to be what ever it is that they aspire to be. I don’t want them to think can I do this because I'm not good enough or whatever? That should never be a factor in you accomplishing your dreams. I think I do have a lot of young fans that range from 8-13. That age range has been a big base for me and the amount of people that come up to me and let me know that their kid is a big fan of mine is really special because we are creating young minds. It’s about motivating them and inspiring them. They are the next generation. I really want to inspire them and to be inspired by them!

Every time a kid says that I inspire them and they watch me on TV, and they want to be what I am – that inspires me to want to work harder and to want to do better for myself. I just became a new mom and I want to be great for my little boy and I want him to be proud of me! I think that for me, that is my legacy. I want to inspire and be inspired by that!

Our cover editorial took place at The Maybury in Hudson Yards, which is a great neighborhood that is always filled with options in terms of galleries, eateries, workout centers and more. We took some time to chat with Phil Lavoie, COO of Gotham Organization. He talks with us about the firm, the building, its amenities and more.

ATHLEISURE MAG: Before we delve into The Maybury, tell us about the Gotham Organization and the kinds of projects you’re typically involved in.

PHIL LAVOIE: Gotham Organization is a fifth-generation, family-owned real estate development firm with more than 112 years of experience shaping New York City’s skyline and neighborhoods. Driven by a deep-rooted commitment to quality, innovation, and community, we specialize in developing and managing mixed-use properties, encompassing residential, commercial, and institutional spaces.

AM: Hudson Yards is one of our favorite parts of the city, and it’s exciting to feature The Maybury on this cover shoot. What can you share about its design and the architects behind it?

PL: The Maybury makes a bold statement in the heart of Hudson Yards. Designed by the renowned Handel Architects, the building stands out with its sculpted brick-red metal façade and expansive floor-to-ceiling windows, forming a dramatic and modern profile. Inside, the design strikes a more serene note, with high ceilings, luxury finishes, and an inviting palette of natural textures. The result is a harmonious blend of architectural sophistication and warm, understated elegance.

AM: Can you walk us through the amenities at The Maybury, including common areas, wellness spaces, terraces, and more?

PL: The Maybury features over 20,000 square feet of meticulously curated amenities designed to enhance everyday living. Highlights include a 45th-floor cocktail lounge with panoramic skyline views, opening onto sweeping outdoor terraces ideal for entertaining or relaxing. Wellness offerings include a cutting-edge indoor/outdoor fitness center and a yoga studio. Additional conveniences include a 24-hour attended lobby, a secure package room with and exclusive access to Gotham Living concierge services—all designed to deliver comfort, ease, and sophistication.

AM: What kind of community events do you offer for residents?

PL: We believe that true luxury extends beyond beautiful spaces—it's about fostering a sense of belonging. Our thoughtfully curated resident programming encourages meaningful connections through events like “Sip the Sunset,” a DJ-hosted terrace happy hour; “Cardio Power Hour,” an energizing group fitness session; and “Bloom & Brush,” a creative floral painting workshop. These experiences bring neighbors together and activate our spaces with energy and purpose.

AM: Tell us about the GothamCard Perks.

PL: The GothamCard is our exclusive perks program that connects residents with the best New York City has to offer. From priority reservations at top restaurants and discounts at boutique fitness studios to invitations to private events, GothamCard Perks extend the luxury lifestyle beyond the building itself. It’s all about giving residents insider access to curated experiences throughout the city.

AM: When did The Maybury open, and what types of residences are available?

PL: The Maybury opened its doors at the end of 2024 and offers 453 residences, including a mix of studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments. Among its offerings is “The Collection” — an exclusive suite of luxury residences spanning floors 35 through 45. These premium homes boast soaring ceilings, high-end condo-level finishes, and breathtaking panoramic views of Manhattan, tailored for those who appreciate exceptional design and elevated living. The building also features 28 Abode by Gotham units—efficiently designed micro-units ranging from 315 to 350 square feet.

It allows users to pay rent, book amenities, RSVP for events, request maintenance, and access exclusive GothamCard perks—all from one easy-to-use platform. It’s designed to enhance connection and simplify life at The Maybury.

AM: What are the benefits of living in Hudson Yards?

PL: Hudson Yards is one of the most dynamic neighborhoods in NYC. Living at The Maybury puts residents steps from world-class dining, luxury shopping, iconic cultural destinations, and green spaces like the High Line and Hudson River Park. The neighborhood is also a hub for leading employers and offers seamless transportation options—making it ideal for professionals.

AM: Can you tell us about the Covenant House partnership and their presence in The Maybury?

PL: Our collaboration with Covenant House—a nonprofit focused on supporting youth facing homelessness—is a vital part of The Maybury’s community mission. Their office that serves as an administrative hub for their international services is located within the building. We’re proud to host and support such an impactful organization and its work in the broader Hudson Yards area.

AM: Are there any upcoming Gotham Organization projects we should know about?

PL: Yes, we’re excited to move forward with Monitor Point, a mixed-use waterfront community in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. In partnership with the MTA, Greenpoint Monitor Museum, and the Department of City Planning, Monitor Point will generate significant civic and community benefits focusing on mixed-income housing, attractive public open space, sustainable design, energy efficiency, employment opportunities, and economic mobility. The development is poised to transform the Greenpoint waterfront into an intergenerational mixed-use income community.

RENO TIME | KEITH BYNUM

Renovations aren't restricted to a time of year, you're either wrapping up one that started in the Spring or you're thinking of one you want to take on before the fall/winter holidays. We took some time to sit down with Keith Bynum of HGTV's Bargain Block who knows about the power of changing things up in your home. We wanted to find out how he got into this career, becoming a TV personality, his partnership with American Standard, a giveaway they have which can take your home to the next level, and what we should keep in mind when we begin thinking about upgrading our home!

ATHLEISURE MAG: What led you to working in home renovation and design?

KEITH BYNUM: Both of my parents were teachers, and each year we expanded our home, which sparked my passion for home improvement projects from a young age. As I got older, I discovered a deeper interest in the home renovation space.

AM: How did your work in this area bring you to HGTV?

KB: I was featured on an episode of Tiny House Paradise back in Colorado. After that, I heard from an interested producer, but it was a few years later before I really considered the idea of a show. By then we had moved to Detroit and started flipping homes here, so that’s how the idea for Bargain Block became a reality.

AM: What do you enjoy renovating?

KB: Everything! I love a challenge, whether it’s improving a floor plan for more functional living or a design challenge that turns a house into a home. Right now, we are doing some really fun client projects that have some beautiful custom millwork. I always enjoy working with wood and natural products, they just bring so much warmth to a space, and I can really maximize the space with custom build outs.

AM: When it comes to renovating, is there a checklist or things that should be kept in mind when you're thinking about taking on this journey?

KB: When it comes to renovating, I always recommend starting by thinking about how you actually live in the space day to day. Does the layout make sense? Do your fixtures support your lifestyle? The best designs don’t just look good—they work hard for you and your family.

Budget is obviously a very important element, as well. You want to have a plan in place before you begin so that you take on the right scope of work to fit both your needs and your budget.

From there, focus on timeless elements that balance both form and function. For me, it’s not about chasing trends–it’s about choosing pieces that will stand the test of time. That’s why I turn to trusted brands like American Standard. Their products are designed with real life in mind—especially for busy households that want spaces to be both beautiful and built to last.

AM: What are things to avoid when you are in the renovation process?

KB: Scope creep is really common but can sideline a project if you take on too much. Try to define what the project is and stick to that scope of work. So much of a good design is in the details and quality and taking on too much will compromise those elements.

AM: We spend a lot of time in our kitchens and bathrooms, what are elements that are worth spending more money on and what can be items that we can spend less of our budget on while still making a maximum impact?

KB: We spend so much time in our kitchens and bathrooms, and these are the rooms that work the hardest in a home. That’s why I always say: you don’t need a full renovation to make a big impact. Small, thoughtful upgrades can go a long way. A fresh coat of paint, peel-and-stick wallpaper, or swapping out hardware and fixtures can instantly elevate the space without blowing your budget.

That said, there are a few areas where it is worth spending a little more. In the bathroom, people often overlook the toilet—but it’s something you use every single day. The Champion Toilet from American Standard is one of my go-tos because it’s powerful, reliable, and virtually clog-free, so you never have to worry about a surprise clog disrupting your routine. It’s one of those upgrades you’ll appreciate more than you’d expect.

In the kitchen, I recommend investing in a high-quality faucet. The American Standard Studio S Dual-Spray Kitchen Faucet is one of my favorites—it combines sleek design with functionality which is perfect for busy households and keeps things cleaner, especially when you're cooking. It’s a game-changer you’ll use constantly.

So, splurge where it counts—on the pieces you interact with every day—and be creative with the rest. That’s how you get the most impact for your investment.

AM: We also spend significant time in our home office. What are some tips that you have in making this space one that we want to work from?

KB: I love designing home offices that have a ton of natural light and warm elements like moody paint colors, built in desks and shelving, and thoughtful storage. An office that’s warm and inviting (and tidy) is the perfect inspiration to get to work!

AM: You have partnered with American Standard - why is this synergistic and what does this partnership look like?

KB: In my work, I focus on creating stylish

ish and convenient spaces that reflect real-life needs – and that is exactly what American Standard has been doing for 150 years. Their high-quality fixtures make it so simple to integrate personality and functionality into any home.

As a home renovation expert, I know how tough it can be to achieve the dream of homeownership and American Standard does too. In recognition of the obstacles that can stand in the way of home ownership, and as a token of appreciation to those who have turned to American Standard, the brand introduced the 150th Down Payment Contest – where a total of $150K will be awarded in down payment assistance to help 10 individuals take the next step toward homeownership. Visit americanstandard.dja.com/story to learn more on how to enter!

AM: What are some upcoming projects that you can tell us about?

KB: I’m excited to be teaming up with American Standard to celebrate their 150th anniversary. As part of the celebration, they’ve launched the 150th Down Payment Contest, offering $150,000 in assistance to help 10 individuals take the next step toward homeownership—an initiative I’m incredibly proud to support.

No announcements for Bargain Block right now but keep on the lookout!

Follow me on Instagram to keep up with all that is happening, HERE, and check out all the details on the American Standard giveaway at americanstandard-us.com.

STARCHAT WITH ZURI HALL

We've all enjoyed a number of our favorite shows that recently wrapped from their fall premiers and we're now in the Summer portion of the season with an array of shows to watch. One of those shows is NBC's America Ninja Warriors which will kick off S17 on Jun 2nd at 8pm ET. Hosted by Zuri Hall, we wanted to catch up with her to talk about her career as a journalist and host. You can see her on the network's daily celebrity show Access Hollywood, E! Live From the Red Carpet as well as Miss USA and Miss Universe competition shows. We wanted to talk with her about her work, Awards Season, and how she navigates the balance between a career and mental health.

ATHLEISURE MAG: It is so great to chat with you again as we spoke a few years ago.

ZURI HALL: Oh I remember you!

AM: Great – well I love that we’re fellow Midwest girls, attended Big Ten universities -

ZH: Big Ten all day baby – let’s go!

AM: Exactly! It’s so phenomenal to see how you continue to navigate through your career and I always love your IG feed as the outfits are always on point. What you wore recently to the Met Gala, Bishme is a genius and we had the pleasure of attending his NYFW show a few seasons back – your look was truly a moment.

ZH: He’s so good, right? He is always the sweetest soul too. He is so humble but his talent!

AM: It’s next level without question and of course, you killed it again which is never a question.

ZH: I mean, he did take it to the next level!

AM: Without a doubt, but then there is also the Zuri factor – you know how to wear a look!

ZH: Thank you!

AM: I’m glad we’re able to connect again and to talk about all the things that you have going on.

ZH: Thank you and I’m glad we get to chat again.

AM: When you look back at your career and all of the things that you have been able to do at this point, did you think that you would be in this space that you are in right now?

ZH: Honestly, yeah – it was always kind of the vision! I mean, I know that some people are always tempted to demure and say that they don’t know how they got where they are. But I kind of meticulously planned and worked towards getting here since I was a kid. Honestly, I always knew that I wanted to be in Hollywood and in entertainment and I knew that at the age of 6 or 7. In Junior High, that is when I aggressively pursued it. Every choice that I made outside of academics was to kind of lay down the foundation for the future career. All the activities I chose from theater workshops, trying to get a commercial agent from Toledo, Ohio – so this was always the plan. But I think that this is what leaves me also humbled and in awe of what God can do. Because for better or for worse and with all of the ups and downs, being this little girl from Toledo to make it to where I am and to live this life that I have always dreamed of against all odds, I am very very blessed.

AM: I enjoy Access Hollywood and watching it when I’m traveling or prepping for a project. What do you enjoy about being part of this show?

ZH: Ooo Access Hollywood what I can say that I love and appreciate most is that they are family now! I love my co-hosts, I love our team, our Executive Producer Mike is incredible, and there is a team of Supervising Producers. Everyone is just on board with the vision and we all work together not to just make the show work, but to support one another in each person’s personal endeavors and our personal ventures, as well as professionally. It feels like an environment where everyone wants to see everyone win. It feels good to wake up every day and to go to work and I know that everyone doesn’t always get that lucky and I haven’t always worked in places where I could say that. That’s a big blessing and I take a lot of pride in the fact that we center around celebrity news and entertainment news, but we very much so pride ourselves on being seen as friends to people that we speak to – so it’s very welcoming and warm – a safe space.

AM: That’s what I love about it!

ZH: That’s what I love about it too! I couldn’t do it otherwise.

AM: What is your process in terms of preparing for interviews like this? How do you make sure that you are getting out those conversations that you are looking to achieve?

ZH: You know when I am going in to do interviews like this, we have incredible producers that do research on the front end. I’m talking about that we have so many people on any given week and it’s a lot to keep up with. Our producers, they cover us. They give us the help that we need to have.

What I most pride myself on is really prioritizing thoughtful questions and thoughtful conversations. I want people to feel safe in talking with me. I said this on a podcast recently with a dear friend of mine who has a podcast called Why Not Me with Mike Jackson from Get Lifted Productions. I was saying that I have always prided myself on not being a gotcha journalist and after 10 years in Hollywood – 10 years at NBC Universal, I’ve started to feel the dividends. I have a rapport with all of these incredible actors and musicians. They know me and they see me. They come and they want to talk because they know it's a safe place where they will be able to say what they need to say and they can trust that it won’t be taken out of context. They are comfortable and funny enough, they may even share more because they are comfortable to share. Joining Live from E! as the Red Carpet host, from my first season ever, one of the biggest things has been the way that I have asked the question around fashion. Everyone has said, “oh, we notice that you ask how do you feel in this look or how are you feeling in this look,“ and I think that that just speaks to my approach. I think fashion can be feelings and it can be hard to get in touch with my feelings over the years, so I try to bring that to my interviews. That is what I try to bring in – the emotions, the heart, and I hope that whoever is speaking with me that they feel the connection with me and I trust that it will allow the viewer to connect with them so much more. I just look at myself as hopefully a safe platform or vessel as a way for them to be able to share their message or their story.

AM: I mean watching you there is always warmth and authenticity, and a genuine curiosity to your style as a journalist. Regardless of whether you’re on the red carpet doing an interview, or being on Access Hollywood, and then you have American Ninja Warrior which I love that show! It’s back for another season – how did you get attached to it and what was it about this show that you wanted to take this on within your portfolio?

ZH: I can’t believe – you know I’m getting up there when I have to say, what year is this for me on this show? We had the regular seasons and then we had the COVID years and so it throws it off because we batched 2 seasons. There was a lot going on then, okay?

AM: You made it work!

ZH: Right? I will never forget my first season, my rookie year I was over at E! News. I think that I had just turned 30 and it was a new chapter in my life. This was the biggest show that I had ever gotten to this point. When I got the call that I got the position, I knew that my life was going to change and I don’t say that to be dramatic – I just felt it and it absolutely has. The reason that I was most excited to sign on to American Ninja Warrior, the show is just fun, it’s awesome, it’s big, and it’s buzzy. These athletes are incredible with what they do and I have always watched in awe. So to now realize that I was going to be part of it, it was just really humbling and exciting. Then, when I got into the show, I fell in love with the community of ninjas so quickly and I really prioritized building friendship with them on the sidelines even when the cameras were not rolling. Interacting with them on social and on IG all year around and not just when we are filming. We built that trust with one another so quickly. The biggest compliment that any one of the ninjas can give me is when they get to the sideline and they say, “Oh my gosh, I have been dreaming of getting to the sideline when I finally get to interview you,” because it just means that they finally got to run through the course. So for me to be part of the ninja experience and for them to be just a kid at one time and now they’re old enough to compete and finally they get to compete, and then they get what they say is their “Zuri interview” that really means something to me. I’m usually the first person that they talk to after they hit a buzzer and they’re excited or go down early or their run ends in a way that they hadn’t hoped for and they’re devastated. Sometimes, there are a lot of tears. I take a lot of pride and responsibility in being able to show up for them emotionally or in whatever way they need – whether it’s a hug or a, “I hope I see you next year” so they have that encouragement and don’t quit or give up. Sometimes it’s let bring the family in ASAP because you need your mama right now. I just take pride in being that emotional support on the sideline for the ninjas. That’s my favorite part.

AM: It’s crazy because we had Jessie Graff as a cover a few years back for our AUG ISSUE #20 in 2017 and to have her styled in couture gowns and doing stunts – it’s not something that I will forget for a very long time. I mean what is life and that’s why I love this show as she was doing things I could never do, but you can see the training, athleticism, art, creativity, and pride!

ZH: Yeah! That’s incredible! I love Jessie. She’s the OG for real – for real!

AM: Exactly!

ZH: What’s so cool about the show is how it is a springboard for people’s careers! People have Ninja Gyms across the country. Jessie is in Hollywood doing all of these incredible stunts and stunt work on Wonder Woman and other big blockbuster films! Ninja really does launch people into the next chapter of their careers.

AM: It truly is special!

What can we expect from this season?

ZH: This season is S17! It’s super special because it’s premiering on my birthday! So if you want to celebrate with me, you guys need to tune in on Mon Jun 2nd on 8pm Eastern on NBC of course and you can see it the next day streaming on Peacock. I think that the biggest thing that I am excited about for this year, it’s all taking place in Vegas. Normally, you would see us in different cities across the country which is really special. But for the first time ever, we’re doing qualifiers, semi-finals and national finals all in Vegas which I

think is really interesting too because it allowed for the Ninjas to have this adult summer camp! We all descended upon Las Vegas to create this magic in this chunk of time. For all of the Ninjas, the production team, us as the hosts – we were all there together for all of that. It was really fun and beautiful and allowed us to buid this sort of momentum and spirit. We didn’t have this starting/stopping and new city cycle as in previous seasons. So that was really cool and also, the finals are nuts! We’re doing the side-by-side races and the head-to-head races and there is a new bracket style tournament for this season as well. That’s what’s going to determine the Ninja Warrior Champion right? So I think that the bracket style is really kind of like raising the stakes. It’s feeling very – Ninja Warrior is a sport and as each season progresses, you can see it coming together in a way that you could see where this has come to head to the 2028 Summer Games [Editor’s Note: For LA28, a Ninja Warrior-style obstacle course will be part of the Summer Games making their debut in the Modern Pentathlon portion of the program]. It’s true athleticism and it’s going to be fun to watch. It’s going to be a different viewing experience then what fans have seen before. The stakes are crazy high and to think that some of our Ninjas could be winning gold medals someday because of the Olympics play, it’s bigger than ever!

AM: That is amazing and then once again, you have such a medley of things that you do. I have enjoyed seeing you at the pageants as a host. That is such an amazing world and I started to know more about it when I had the opportunity to style Miss America 2019 Nia Franklin as well as Miss Ecuador Universe 2018 Virginia Limongis for projects. Seeing you on that platform was yet another level. What do you like about being involved in those shows?

ZH: That is such a great question! What do I love about being part of those shows? I love the pageantry, the poise, I love glam of it all. I love a little glam moment. I am so night and day as the Gemini that I am. What’s great, is that I can only fully appreciate hosting a show like Miss Universe of Miss USA because I get to pull up in my sneakers and my jeans and host a show like America Ninja Warrior. I need both. Because I very much so live in sneakers and jeans, but in that 15%, I’m going to give you glam ok?

Miss USA and Miss Universe has been a great opportunity for me to be able to do that! The women are just so brilliant and just so beautiful – the least beautiful thing about them is how they look which is saying a lot because those women are stunning. They are so smart, they have incredible human interests, from philanthropy, to non-profit causes, to raising awareness on Mental Health or children living in poverty. I am just so inspired by them and that competition is not easy – those competitions are a grind! I have so much respect for the pageant world and that is something that I have come to after hosting this show. I didn’t grow up in pageants and now I have such an appreciation and respect for it. So it’s really fun and it’s really fun to play dress up on a superficial level too! It’s just wearing those gowns, those sequins, more, is more and nothing is too much in a space like that. It’s a lot of fun.

AM: When you’re doing the red carpets, we just came off of Awards Season, it’s a big run and this year it was compounded with the LA fires – I can’t even imagine the navigation around that. How do you approach that hectic time of the year?

ZH: Ooo Awards Season! I approach Awards Season with a lot of intention and a lot of calm before the storm. I intentionally carve out a lot of calm leading up to Awards Season because I know after the clock hits midnight, it’s a New Year and we’re hitting the ground running with the Golden Globes and it’s not going to stop running until after the Academy Awards. That is 3 months of grind for me.

This year as I mentioned, stepping into this new position – in the main position for Live from the Red Carpet on E! and the carpet specials, I took it all the more seriously! I have always taken it seriously. It’s really about the holidays for me being about rest, it’s research, I’m celebrating Christmas, I’m celebrating New Years Eve, but I have a research packet as thick as a Bible with all of the films, the nominees, the categories, the storylines we’re following throughout the season and doing that research ahead of time allows me to step into the New Year locked and loaded - I'm ready. I make time for meditation and prayer every show day, all week long, all Awards Season. It’s important for me to have those moments so that I can recharge and I can fill my cup because you give a lot on those show days. You’re live sometimes 3 hours – 3 and a half hours straight! It’s non-stop so just taking care of my mental, spiritual, and physical health before the in between time is how I get through a season like that!

AM: Oh wow! Well you always do it so well as you always look great on the carpet and the questions and engagement that you have makes those conversations enjoyable to watch.

ZH: Thank you – I’m trying!

AM: Going back to Met Gala, I loved your outfit, Bishme is always taking it to the next level and what he created for you was something to see. What was that process like in terms of getting dressed? Were you working weeks or months in advance?

ZH: No! You know what was so crazy? He is so talented that we met probably a couple of weeks out from Met Gala.

AM: Oh wow!

ZH: Yes for the first time. I’m so busy, he is so busy, everyone just has so many things going on. I couldn’t even mentally pivot to Met Gala until the last thing was done. If Grammys is coming up, I’m like, don’t ask me about the Oscars until after I get through Grammys. Don’t ask me about Grammys until after I get through Globes. I literally have to take it a step at a time or I would go crazy.

AM: Oh yeah!

ZH: So Met Gala, I couldn’t think about mentally from a fashion perspective until probably Aprilish because I had to get through Oscars and I had a few things going on in the office. So I meet with him and he shows me these sketches and pulls out these fabric swatches and I am immediately blown away. He is crazy talented. We landed on a sketch that felt right. For me, I just can’t think about the fashion statement which I absolutely want to make, but it also has to be practical because I’m working. I’m not just going in hanging around and partying. I have to stand on a red carpet in a really tight space for up to 4 hours. For the Met Gala, I was in that dress and in those heels standing for the most part for 6 hours. We have to get there so early before the gridlock so it has to be practical and it also has to be fashionable because I love a moment.

It was kind of funny because Bishme, we had our first fitting a week and a half out. Then it was probably 2 or 3 days ahead of the Met Gala that we had a fitting and he literally brought some fabric and I was like, “ok, let’s see how this goes.” He made a dress out of thin air with a piece of fabric – I think it is called muslin.

By the end of that 15-20 mins fitting, I was low key wearing a dress. Him and my stylist were laughing because he is used to that Project Runway life. He was not stressed and we were like, Met Gala is in 2 days” and he was like, “I got this. Say less.” We had that final fitting and he finished the gown within 3 or 4 days. It was a perfect fit. It was better than anything ever and people loved it.

It was a total hit. He works so well under pressure. It was a super fast process and extremely efficient and only someone as talented as him could pull something off like that. I was just grateful to wear his design because he had great vision.

AM: This year's theme was amazing. What were 3 looks that you enjoyed seeing on the carpet?

ZH: The theme was incredible Super Fine Tailoring Black Style and I loved that it was a celebration of Black Dandyism because I am really big on joy and I think that the Met Gala night really exemplified that. My 3 favorite looks – I loved Diana Ross’ (The Wiz, Mahogany, Lady Sings the Blues) entrance. To be there watching that happen and for her making us remember what it is like to have one of those divas in the best way possible entrance – it was like yesss – you are giving the people what they need right now!

Her look was incredible and I loved her daughter’s look – Tracee Ellis Ross (Girlfriends, Black-ish, American Fiction). She is such a style maven and she gets it from her momma.

AM: Yup.

ZH: I love that she raids her mom’s closet and she calls it shopping. Tracee’s look was fun.

Zendaya (Euphoria, Dune franchise, Challengers) always gets it right. I loved the tailored suit and sort of the minimalist silhouette with that beautiful gorgeous fedora – that hat that she wore.

The fellas brought it too – A$AP Rocky as a Co-Chair was incredible and he has always had such awesome style and of course with Rihanna to pull up and with the baby bump as the final arrival on the Met Gala Red Carpet! She said that A$AP brought the umbrellas and she brought the +1 – the baby to the party. She looked great!

I loved Ciara, her in LaQuan Smith looked gorgeous. Her and Russell Wilson being able to walk this Red Carpet for the first time ever because he’s usually occupied at that time. So to see them walk that for the first time together was special especially since he is playing for the Giants now. There were so many really fun looks that was enjoyable to see.

AM: With all the worlds that you’re involved in – how do you make sure that you don’t have burnout? We love what we do, we’re immersed in what we do, but I mean – you need a breath. How do you get that balance?

ZH: For me, it’s something that we have heard before, but I have only recently appreciated it in the last few years in what it means and taking it to heart. My no’s are just as important if not more important than my yeses. I used to say yes to everything. You kind of have to have that chapter of grinding it out and saying yes to everything as you never know what opportunity is going to open that next door. But then you get to a point in your life hopefully where you look up and say, there is a lot going on and I need to get more intentional with my yeses. If I can’t show up with a full cup at max capacity for the things that I have said yes to, do I want to show up? I want to show up fully and I deserve to experience this thing fully and also the people who have asked me to be part of it, they deserve the best of me if I say yes. So it is less yeses but they are hell yeses! So, the ones I am really excited about that I can show up for fully means that there were no’s that had to be said. I have to be ok with potentially disappointing some one who would have hoped that I could do a thing. But I can say next time – it’s not no forever it’s just I can’t right now and I am honoring where I am at my max capacity bucket.

I think carving out slow moments is really important on the day-to-day. I like counting down to a vacation. I have been counting down by the way to a non existent vacation in my head since Jan 1st! There is no trip booked, no flights, but I’m like, “I can’t wait to get to that beach,” and my dog is looking at me like what beach?

AM: You mean beach at home haha!

ZH: Haha – the living room, basement – what are we talking about?

But, having those slow moments to look forward to on any even given day – even if I have a 20mins coffee break that I carved out for myself with my favorite Lavender Latte at 3 o’clock. That is a slow moment. It’s a gift to myself. A massage that I booked for myself after a long day. That’s a moment and that’s a gift to myself. I think it is important to give ourselves small little gifts so that we have earned small wins. It doesn’t have to be a big thing or a long weekend away. It can be 10mins to yourself with the lights off and if you have kids, your spouse is like – I got them. I will take them upstairs and lock them away for 15mins. You just sit in the dark if that is what you need.

AM: What do you want your legacy to be? You have done so much and such a beacon for people. I think about when I was growing up, I didn’t have a lot of people I could think of except for Oprah – there weren’t other people like that out there. But we live in a time where those coming up have Zuri’s and others that they can look towards.

ZH: Wow, oh man. Well first of all, thank you for saying that. To hear, we have the Zuri’s is kind of a moment. I haven’t been able to wrap my mind around fully – you kind of left me speechless with that one. That means a lot just because, what do I want my legacy to be? I want for people to feel good and I want people to be unapologetic about prioritizing feeling good. I want people to feel good at work, I want people to feel good in their home and personal lives. I think why I bring that into the legacy conversation is because I work really hard and for a long time, all I did was work. My career was everything and to be quite frank, that wasn’t healthy. I realized I needed to build up the other pillars of my life because if 1 pillar shook and it was the career and that’s the only pillar – my world was shaking, my home was shaking – there was no foundation. A part of my legacy is that I want other people to say when I watched her I felt inspired and I felt entertained. I also felt that I was given permission or really encouragement to feel good in my life to take time and to prioritize myself. Even if it is just because they see me having the career that I have and then seeing me have the kinds of conversations that I have around mental health and spiritual wellness and how important it is to make rest, to avoid burnout it’s important. Seeing me crush it in my career maybe that is what someone came to see, but then realizing how I am doing it – I very much so want to make sure that that is part of my legacy.

If I can inspire even one little girl, little boy or one kid – who looks at me and sees a trajectory that they would like to follow, that is really special. I have a mom who DM’d me a couple of months ago and I have had moms reach out to me in the last few years. She let me know that she named her daughter after me. I thought it was incredible and it was so nice to hear. But then I was like, “how old is your daughter?” She’s like 6 and I’m like, “dang, I haven’t been around that long!” I’m old now! How do I have a 6 year old Zuri running around? It’s special and at the end of the day, I hope that my legacy and the biggest part of it is that people can look and see that I really enjoyed this life that I lived and that I rode it until the wheels fell off. She wasn’t just having a career that was incredible, but I get the sneaking suspicion that she really enjoyed it fully!

EXQUISITE EXPERIENCES | CHEF MASAHARU MORIMOTO

Growing up, we enjoyed watching the original Iron Chef and being introduced to Japanese cuisine as well as the culinary icon Master Chef Masaharu Morimoto. Watching his techniques, the joy he has when creating his dishes, and how it all comes together is phenomenal. Years later, we enjoyed dining at Morimoto Chelsea and had the pleasure of seeing him with all of his flair! Even seeing him during a Citi Taste of Tennis event ahead of the US Open, his passion and love for food, community, and coming together is always present!

As our cover star for our APR ISSUE #112, we sat down to talk to a man who is a Restaurateur, TV Personality, Author, Ambassador and Entrepreneur to find out about how he became a chef, his upcoming projects, and being the Grand Marshal of the Japan Parade on May 10th here in NYC.

ATHLEISURE MAG: What dish made you fall in love with food?

CHEF MASAHARU MORIMOTO: Sushi is the dish that made me fall in love with food. The artistry and the freshness involved in preparing sushi truly sparked my passion for cooking.

AM: When did you realize you wanted to be a chef?

CHEF MM: Before becoming a chef, I was set on becoming a professional baseball player. After I had a shoulder injury, I fully turned my passion to food and the rest is history.

AM: Where did you train and what kitchens did you cook in prior to opening your own restaurants?

CHEF MM: I trained in Hiroshima, Japan. I worked in traditional sushi shops before moving to America and becoming a chef at Nobu.

AM: How do you define your style of cooking?

CHEF MM: I blend traditional Japanese techniques with global influences. While I always honor the roots of Japanese cuisine, I also adapt my dishes to reflect the unique customs and flavors of the places where I’m serving them.

AM: Why is it important to do TV shows in addition to being a restaurateur, author, etc.?

CHEF MM: TV shows give me the chance to share my love for food with people around the world. It’s a way to connect with those who may not be able to visit my restaurants, but can still experience the essence of my cooking.

AM: What do you look for when it comes to opening a restaurant or concept?

CHEF MM: I look for a place where I can tell a story through my food, and where guests are excited to try something new. It’s about creating an experience that challenges the senses and brings people together through flavors they may have never encountered before.

AM: What do you love about Morimoto by the Sea on Holland America?

CHEF MM: Morimoto by the Sea on Holland America is something I’m very proud of. It gives me the chance to bring my flavors and techniques to the sea, offering guests a unique experience they can’t find anywhere else. I’m especially honored to be the Fresh Fish Ambassador, sharing the best fish with everyone onboard. The freshness of the ingredients and the setting make it a special place for both guests and myself.

AM: What does being involved in Japan Day and the parade mean to you?

CHEF MM: It is truly an honor to serve as the Grand Marshal of the 2025 Japan Parade. I am excited to share my Japanese heritage and celebrate this meaningful occasion with so many people. This parade is a beautiful way to connect with the community and showcase the richness of Japanese culture. It’s a moment to celebrate the traditions that have shaped me and continue to inspire my work.

AM: What are you looking forward to for the parade?

CHEF MM: Seeing the joy and energy as Japanese tradition blends with the spirit of the New York community is very exciting. It reminds me of how food and culture can unite people, creating meaningful connections across different backgrounds.

AM: How can people keep the celebrations going at Momosan Lexington between Apr 26 - May 10th?

CHEF MM: At Momosan Lexington, we’ve created a couple of special dishes and cocktails to celebrate the Japan Parade. You can enjoy our Okonomiyaki and The Last Petal cocktail, available now through May 10th.

AM: When you are not in your restaurants or at festivals, how do you take time for yourself?

CHEF MM: I’m always on the move. I often joke that my home is the airport, since I spend more time there than anywhere else. When I’m not traveling, I cherish the moments I spend with my wife. I'm turning 70 in May, so I'm trying to also just relax more.

AM: What can you tell us about your new NYC restaurant or upcoming projects?

CHEF MM: My new restaurant is opening at 1255 Broadway in NYC, and it’s going to be something very new and fresh for the city. I’m bringing in some of my favorite traditional Japanese techniques, but with a twist that I think will excite everyone. I can’t give away too much just yet, but I’m really looking forward to sharing it all soon.

AM: You can enjoy Japan Parade here in NYC on May 10th from 11am - 5pm on 72nd street between Central Park West and Columbus Ave.

SPRITZ & GO | JOJO FLETCHER

We first met JoJo Fletcher on S20 of ABC's The Bachelor and then she was the lead for S12 of The Bachelorette where she met Jordan Rodgers. Since then, we have seen her and her husband embark on a number of projects and TV shows. With the Summer being around the corner, we're excited for her latest venture, Saint Spritz which allows us to enjoy a great sip wherever we happen to Summer! We wanted to know about how she felt about her time in Bachelor Nation, upcoming projects, and Saint Spritz!

ATHLEISURE MAG: We've been fans since Ben Higgins’ The Bachelor season and your engagement to Jordan Rodgers on The Bachelorette. What did you learn about yourself during this time?

JOJO FLETCHER: I think the biggest takeaway I had after coming off my first season was just this new found confidence in myself and what I deserved that really stuck with me. The entire filming process is such a unique growing experience and it forces you to challenge yourself emotionally and mentally which really helped me know exactly what I was looking for in a partner. I’m thankful for the growing pains that came from the heartbreak of that first season because it ultimately led me to find my husband, Jordan on my season of The Bachelorette.

AM: You are an entrepreneur with a diversified portfolio that has included clothing brands, home renovations, and more. What do you enjoy about this work?

JF: I love the grind. I truly love the feeling of setting my mind towards something and seeing it through and learning how to pivot along the way. I have so many different passions that I have been fortunate enough to turn into business but it doesn't come easily or by luck. I think there is this misconception that if you are considered an "influencer" that I just slap my name onto something and call it a business. While this may be true for some, it’s not this style of work that fuels that entrepreneurship itch inside of me. Building and creating something from start to finish, being truly invested in the outcome of whatever business you plan to launch and working hard towards success is what I love the most about being an entrepreneur.

AM: When it comes to launching a new concept, what is it that you’re looking for in terms to collaborating with partners?

JF: I think it’s so important to stay authentic in whatever you do. Oftentimes, the best ideas are the ones that come from solving a personal problem, and I think that same authenticity has to translate into brand collaborations as well. For me, I have to like and use the brand first and have confidence that they can deliver on a new product that meets a “standard” I have in mind. Not only that, I want to make sure that I can bring something different or more unique to their existing portfolio that feels authentic to me and my personality. I always try to think, “How can I add my creative touch to this to add even more value to what they may already be offering.” If a brand is open and receptive to that sort of creative hands-on collaboration and I have confidence that we can put out a product/collection that I know speaks true to me and that others will love, then it usually makes for a successful partnership.

AM: Thankfully, it’s getting warmer every day and we’re thinking about ways to enjoy the outdoors, to hang out with friends, and more. You launched Saint Spritz. Can you tell me how this came about and what the meaning behind the name, Saint Spritz?

JF: The idea for Saint Spritz was actually born during a family trip to Italy for my brother, Ben’s wedding, where we really became captivated by the aperitivo tradition. When we came back home, we became a little obsessed with spritzes. What we noticed whas that depending on where you were or who made the drink, the flavor profile was always a little different. We wanted to capture that feeling of Italy but make it fit into our own lifestyles — something you could take on the go, whether you’re heading to the beach, the pool, the pickleball courts, or even the slopes.

Our whole goal was to transport people — to bring them to those places that really define that spritz vibe: Saint-Tropez, St. Barths, St. Moritz. We wanted it to feel like ‘après beach’ and ‘après ski’ in a can. And when it came to naming the brand, we went through a lot of ideas, but Saint Spritz just felt right. Like it was meant to be.

AM: It definitely ticks off a number of boxes from being RTD, a premium Italian spritz, wine based, convenient can and real fruit juice. Why was it important for you to have something like this on the market?

JF: At the time, the RTD category was packed with seltzer-style drinks or overly sugared cocktails, and we just didn’t want that. We wanted something that felt like a full-bodied cocktail, reminiscent of the iconic Italian spritzes, but without compromising — no added sugar, no artificial sweeteners, no toxic dyes. We also wanted it to be easy and for all occasions.

AM: Tell us about the 3 cocktails that are available.

JF: Our signature flavor, Amalfi, was actually the one we launched the company with. It’s a bittersweet orange spritz, with a flavor profile really similar to the classic Italian spritz everyone knows and loves. It’s bright, bittersweet, and super refreshing — made with orange wine, natural juice, and just the right amount of bubbles.

Then we have Sicily, which is our lemon basil spritz and probably our most universal flavor, It's this crisp fusion of zesty lemon and aromatic basil, with just the right balance of tanginess, subtle sweetness, and sparkling fizz.

And finally, there’s Hugo, our elderflower and lime spritz. Hugo’s kind of our ‘surprise and delight’ flavor. Traditionally, Hugo spritzes are clear, but ours has this beautiful purple color that makes it so Instagrammable — and it tastes amazing too, with floral sweetness, bright lime, and just a hint of mint. It’s definitely a crowd favorite when people try it.

AM: What can we expect from the brand this Spring and Summer?

JF: Our national retail launch is a huge milestone for us and something we’re really focused on right now. Last year, our retail footprint was mostly in Texas, so we’re really proud to now be expanding nationally and reaching so many more people.

AM: Where can we purchase it and will you do trade shows such as Brooklyn Bar Convent which is coming up soon?

JF: Target is kicking off our national distribution, which we’re really excited about, and we also have a great retail footprint with stores like Total Wine & More, Walmart, Tom Thumb, and more. You can check out our store locator to find us near you — and we’re actively adding even more retailers and locations as our national launch continues to roll out.

LEGACY AND BEYOND | TITUS WELLIVER

For over a decade, we have enjoyed the BOSCH universe from the flagship series to its spin-off BOSCH: LEGACY. We've loved getting to know more about Harry Bosch; his focus on helping victims; and finding those that have hurt them to bring them to justice. The series finale will close this chapter of the BOSCH universe, but we are also looking forward to the spin-off of this series with Ballard which stars Maggie Q (Nikita, The Protégé, Designated Survivor)!

We had the pleasure of talking with Titus Welliver (The Town, Deadwood, Sons of Anarchy) who plays the title character ahead of the premiere of BOSCH: LEGACY, and it is only fitting that we chat with him again! We talked about how he became part of both series, what he has enjoyed about playing this character, as well as digging into Harry Bosch.

ATHLEISURE MAG: It’s so great to connect with you again. I had the pleasure of interviewing you ahead of the premier of BOSCH: LEGACY for the first season. In addition to loving this series, I’m a fan of the flagship series BOSCH. What initially drew you to the BOSCH universe?

TITUS WELLIVER: Well the script, I had read one of the BOSCH books many, many years before and it certainly did land on me. But it had been several years before the script for the pilot was put in front of me and I was immediately drawn to the character, I understood the character, I thought about how I would play that character, what was important and what wasn’t important etc., etc.

Through a series of mishaps in trying to get me in the room with Michael Connelly, the other producers, and the other creators of the show, the meetings kept not happening. Several months went by and I was shooting one of the Transformers films which took me all over the United States as well as to Hong Kong and I had a little window that was open and I was back in the States and my manager called me and said, you’re going to meet with Michael Connelly in 2 days or something like that.

I said, “what do you mean? I thought that that boat sailed a long time ago.” My initial reaction when I read it was that I loved this character, but I had been doing it long enough to know that you never know what is going to happen. I thought that of course, they would go out to every single star name and what actor wouldn’t want to play this character?

AM: Right!

TW: So I met with them and as fate had it, I was gifted the role of Harry Bosch which had the continuing gift of 10 years, almost 11 years, of playing this character and realizing him.

AM: I mean, I love this character and I love his complexities and that he loves jazz. My great-uncle was the late Joe Henderson –

TW: Stop it!

AM: Yeah!

TW: Wow! That’s very cool! Wow!

AM: Yeah, so every time he’s playing his music, I love that because I’m always listening to jazz to settle my mind and I love his interactions with the other characters in his world.

What is it that you love about bringing this character to life?

TW: Well, he is a quintessential anti-hero and I tend to gravitate towards anti-heroes because I think that there is a different level of reality and humanity to anti-heroes. Bosch is a character that is capable of incredible heroic deeds, he is a very very good cop, he’s relentless. If a person is a victim of a crime, you would want him working the case, but you know, he’s a strong flavor. He doesn’t suffer fools, he does not subscribe to the societal norms that we might. He does not enter a room and try to win people over.

AM: There’s no tucking in there!

TW: Right! He doesn’t navigate bureaucracy with standard operating procedures. He does a workaround. Bosch is – because of all of that, he is all elbows. He’s not the status quo cat. So command – he pisses people off. He irritates people. But people can’t really – people don’t want to really push him too much because he’s the guy that has got the highest closure rate in Hollywood Homicide. Hence that relationship which was forged between the late great Lance Riddick (The Wire, Fringe, John Wick franchise), my brother, who I miss every day. And when Irving’s son is killed, he enlists Bosch to help him. And that speaks volumes about it because he is such a stone in Irving’s shoe, but Irving knows the fabric of his character and that is one of the many beautiful things about Bosch.

Then you have his beautiful relationship with his daughter. I didn’t have to put my elbows out with the writers when I said, “look, let this be a relationship that gestates.” They don’t know each other and let’s allow this through a natural process and have them get to know each other. That relationship is the dynamic that allowed us to – without being contrived, peel away a little bit of the layers of Bosch that he could express vulnerability, which is not something that he is comfortable with in any shape or form in expressing vulnerability. He’s just not, but he does with his child because she is the most important person in his life.

But also within that, there are times when he conceals things that he doesn’t want her to know about.

AM: Yeah! Which is so interesting to see when you’re watching him with each character as it’s different elements of him that you can tell it’s the same man, but it’s really interesting. Via the screeners, we have gotten up to episode 8 at this point. I want to know what’s going to happen, but what I love about him is how he is measured and with all of these elements at play, this one man holds all of that in the balance which is interesting and obviously, you play him so well.

TW: Well thank you! He carries a tremendous amount of weight as a character. That is another reason why I love playing him. Look, all of that is demonstrated or exhibited in the process of reading all of Michael’s books. Because the narrative tells you what Bosch is thinking and what he is doing. Thankfully, I had a conversation with Eric Overmyer (Homicide: Life on the Street, Law & Order, The Wire) and Michael Connelly very early on and I said, “look, this stuff where we find Harry in the books alone, doing his work – he’s listening and has Coltrane going, he’s having a Fat Tire and he’s drinking a whisky and is going through a murder book, that is expressed in the narrative, but he is not saying anything.” That is an integral part of who this character is. Now any executive who looks at that and says, “wait a minute, you’re actually going to go and put this character sitting alone in his house with just music playing and him flipping through pages, and he’s not saying anything?” – what? Are you kidding, people will turn it off. Well, it in fact became a hallmark of the show where the audience and for me as an actor honestly, those are some of the most challenging scenes to play because there’s so much said, but unsaid.

You don’t have the luxury of dialog to express that which I think is more interesting.

AM: 100%.

TW: You give the audience the benefit of their intelligence. You don’t need to go, “this is what you should feel, this is what you need to think right now.” They extrapolate from what they are seeing that’s occurring in front of them and they form their own ideas of what that should be. But there is a consistency with that when people see that stuff, where they go, “Harry’s working right now.” Through the beauty and the eye of our incredibly gifted cinematographers and directors as well, the way that they would shoot those things kept a level of ambiguity, but also said – you know that he is working, but we’re not going to tell you specifically what it is which for me is fun to watch too afterwards!

AM: Oh yeah, it just draws you in and it has such a fun pacing to it and it’s nice to have things where you need to connect the dots and see how it all happens. You don’t always need to have words to push everything forward.

So what are your feelings with the finale coming up of the series. I’m so sad that it is not continuing on. What are your takeaways from this?

TT: Well I look at it really as – I mean I agree and I feel sad about it. One can’t help, but make a connection with a character and an emotional bond. I’m not an actor who takes their work home or the character, I don’t carry his weight. But the joy of playing that character and the gift for me – opening those scripts as they came was like Christmas. It was like an advent calendar. Where is Harry going here? What do I get to explore? That has been for a decade of my life and it has been dedicated to that and to the relationships that I have with Michael Connelly, Eric Overmyer as well as Thomas Bernardo (BOSCH, The Lincoln Lawyer, BOSCH: LEGACY), the crew and the other actors that’s the hardest part of it. Look, you don’t see – there’s no closure. As Harry Bosch would say, closure is a myth. You don’t see Harry riding off into the sunset. We don’t close on Harry sitting alone in his house looking out the window while we’ve got some grand music playing in the background. So it doesn’t have that, it doesn’t have a sense of finality and yet, there is for us, there is that sense of finality.

AM: Well I appreciate you taking the time, I love the series, and the whole universe of it, and I love seeing you in any role that you’re in because if your name is on it, I know it’s going to be a great show as you’re one of the coolest people.

TW: Well bless you! That is a very kind thing to say and it’s been a pleasure talking to you and I hope that you enjoy the finale!

APRES SPICY | CHEF ESTHER CHOI

We've enjoyed a number of dishes at Mokbar, Chef Esther Choi's restaurant which has phenomenal Korean dishes that are full of flavor. In addition, we always enjoy seeing her whether she is judging or in the midst of a cooking competition on Food Network or other networks.

We were invited to hang out with her as well as to enjoy an immersive experience at a pop-up with Listerine for their Clinical Solutions Sensitive Teeth which allow those who suffer with teeth sensitivities to have a moutwash that they can use. At this event, we enjoyed a number of dishes curated by her as well as to talk with her a bit about what led her to being a chef, why she loves Korean cuisine and S2 of 24 in 24: Last Chef Standing!

ATHLEISURE MAG: We are so excited to be able to chat with you as we have been fans of yours between your restaurants as well as the shows you have been on.

CHEF ESTHER CHOI: I’m so thankful for your support! We have to support each other!

AM: Absolutely!

What was the first dish that made you remember why you fell in love with food?

CHEF EC: I think for me, it might not be a specific dish, but an ingredient and it's kimchi.

AM: I love kimchi.

CHEF EC: Yeah, awesome! You'll have some tonight.

AM: I was so hoping.

CHEF EC: I mean, I love kimchi. I grew up eating kimchi, and it reminds me of not only like my family, but like my grandmother specifically. She taught me how to make it, and kimchi is something that you kind of - there's not like a real recipe for it.

AM: Right.

CHEF EC: It's really more about, like, the true nature of like cooking. So, I think, for me, it always kind of gave me those feelings, which is why, I'm so obsessed with it. It's pretty much on every item on my menu, and it's something that, I, you know, treasure. It's not only like a food item, but also like a culture. I like to say that kimchi, it's a way of life.

AM: Yeah.

CHEF EC: So, I'd say, that's my dish - forever.

AM: When did you realize you wanted to be a chef?

CHEF EC: I loved food, always like my whole life. I grew up cooking with my Grandmother. Food was such an important part of my family and growing up. When I was thinking about what I wanted to do with my life, I knew that it had to be food related. I didn't know if I wanted to be a chef specifically at the time, but I think the path of like going into food led me to want to be the closest to it, which is the chef.

AM: You have amazing restaurants.

CHEF EC: Thank you!

AM: Can you tell us a little bit about each of your restaurants?

CHEF EC: Yeah, of course.

So, the first restaurant I started when I was 28 was Mokbar, and that is in Chelsea Market, and it's a tiny little noodle shop in, one of the busiest markets in New York City. So, like, I wanted to bring something that's totally unique, but also being true to who I am and my heritage. So I chose this concept of doing Korean style Ramen, which you'll actually have some tonight.

AM: Very excited about this!

CHEF EC: Yeah, it's not your traditional Ramen, but like, it's Ramen infused with a lot of Korean ingredients, so it's kind of like your first step into trying Korean food, and so that has kind of been my philosophy and motto throughout, like my entire career and all my restaurants kind of go by that, where it's like, I want people to fall in love with Korean food and make it into their repertoire. So, like if you're ordering Chinese every week and Sushi, why can't you order at Korean?

AM: I’ve been known to have it 3 or 4 times a week. It is one of my favorite cuisines!

CHEF EC: Really! Oh my God! I love it. I love it. So, what’s your favorite Korean dish?

AM: So tough! I love Korean Fried Chicken, of course kimchi and I’m always down for kimpbap!

CHEF EC: In addition to kimchi, we're doing Korean Fried Chicken tonight.

AM: Yum! With kimchi, I literally will have it multiple times a day.

CHEF EC: I love all of this! You should be Korean!

And it's so healthy, too!

All of my restaurants are inspired by like Korean cuisine heritage, but they're done in more modern ways. So I do have a sit-down restaurant called GAHM in Brooklyn, and that one is definitely like full service.

The one that I started in Chelsea Market Mokbar, we have now several locations, and it's more of a fast casual. So, grab and go. We just opened our 5th location in Vegas a few months ago. We're very excited definitely my food concept is always going to be Korean forward.

AM: Why did you want to partner with Listerine?

CHEF EC: I would say this partnership is really special for me because I mean, there's a few reasons. First is because Korean food is, like, we're very into temperatures like the hot food has to be very very hot. You can see, you know, when you order a Korean dish, it always comes out like piping piping hot, almost like boiling at the table.

And then cool. Things are like, super cool, so you know lots of people who come to eat food, I want them to experience it fully without being disrupted by like having sensitive teeth, which is a big thing. So partnering with Listerine, it was like the perfect marriage. So, curating a menu that, can you know, kind of, let you think about all those sensitivities, it's like a perfect match.

Korean food also is very garlicky and very, you know, kimchi is very pungent.

AM: Everyone needs to have it!

CHEF EC: Yeah, exactly. So, there needs to be like Listerine always around after eating Korean food, so I just felt like, I'm like, what a perfect partnership.

AM: I love that!

You're back hosting S2 of 24 in 24: Last Chef Standing, how excited are you?

CHEF EC: It's crazy - I thought S1 was crazy, but S2 is even crazier! Which I don't even know how that's possible. But, um, yeah, this season's gonna be super exciting, especially because of the lineup of chefs that are competing. It's insane with the list. There's a lot of drama around it, Lots of emotions, so it's like, real, true, I'd say the closest to reality as opening up a restaurant as it can be!

MGM+ GODFATHER OF HARLEM | RETURN TO HARLEM

Last month in our MAR ISSUE #111 of Athleisure Mag, we had the pleasure of chatting with the Creator, Executive Producer, and writer Chris Brancato (Narcos, Narcos: Mexico, Hotel Cocaine) and members of the cast of MGM+'s Godfather of Harlem. This month, we talked with Elvis Nolasco (American Crime, Claws, She's Gotta Have It) and Erik LaRay Harvey (Boardwalk Empire, Luke Cage, Chicago P.D.) who play Nat Pettigrew and Del Chance, respectively. We wanted to know about what drew them to the show and playing their characters.

ATHLEISURE MAG: We have enjoyed watching Godfather of Harlem and it’s great to connect with both of you as we love to see you in scenes together, as well as with Forest! What drew you to want to be part of this incredible show?

ELVIS NOLASCO: It was just knowing that this historical figure I would say, Ellsworth “Bumpy” Johnson, and knowing of him and being from Harlem and NYC and knowing what that name meant, in the community and knowing that this was created by Chris Brancato, and the late Paul Eckstein (First Wave, Hoodlum, Narcos) and knowing their trajectory, being part of Hoodlum, the film, and them being part of Narcos and having a certain level of respect and admiration for their work, it was something that I knew that I had to be part of this. Especially, if I have an opportunity to work with Forest Whitaker (Black Panther, Havoc, Andor).

ERIK LARAY HARVEY: Forest was it for me! I had seen him in The Last King of Scotland and really enjoyed that. I knew about that time period and I thought that he was brilliant in that role. I was like, “Forest – what? I’m on board!” What’s the story about, I don’t care! I'm on it, I'm going to be working with Forest. He exceeded my expectations of him as a person and he’s such a loving, fun, and quiet guy! He has so much passion for the business and the work. These 4 seasons have been such a joy. It has been absolutely incredible to work with that man.

AM: How do you approach playing your characters?

ELH: I walk the streets of NY. Some of these people piss me off you know! So it was really easy to bring that sort of energy into the set! You need me to what, kill somebody – do you know what that man did to me? Do you know what he called me today? Yeah, I’m ready to kill somebody! Haha no – I’m joking, but you know what I’m saying!

EN: Haha I feel the same way. You’re walking around and especially when you’re 135th street! I’m on my way to the Schomburg Library and this dude comes at me with, “Yo dude,” and I’m like “Dude what?”

ELH: You know how NY is!

EN: It’s crazy!

AM: Ha!

So, where did we leave your characters in S3 and where are we picking up from them again in S4?

ELH: Well we ended S3 with the death of Malcolm X. We began S4 with the remembrance of Malcolm X. Bumpy sees him in the club briefly. Malcolm X still has his presence with us. With his best friend gone so to speak, Malcolm X and Bumpy were best friends, and now that he has left us, we embark on a new journey that Malcolm X wanted us to do which is for Bumpy to go legit and to get out of harming the community so to speak. But then this jackass, Frank Lucas (Rome Flynn) comes in and he wants to harm the community. So that is where we begin S4, with a jackass coming in.

MGM+ GODFATHER OF HARLEM | RETURN TO HARLEM

We have been fans of Godfather of Harlem since the first episode premiered in 2019. This historical fiction brings an array of iconic figures in the 60s from Ellsworth "Bumpy" Jackson (Forest Whitaker), Malcolm X (Nigél Thatch/Jason Alan Carvell), Vincent "Chin" Gigante (Vincent D'Onofrio), Rev Adam Clayton Powell Jr (Giancarlo Esposito), Joeseph Colombo (Michael Raymond-James), and more. We get to see Harlem during a pivotal time in American history while also understanding how communities navigated various topics of the time.

We sat down with Creator, Executive Prodducer and writer Chris Brancato (Narcos, Narcos: Mexico, Hotel Cocaine) to talk about the show, its intracicies, and what to expect from S4 launching April 13th on MGM+.

ATHLEISURE MAG: Chris it is so good to see you again! I had the pleasure of interviewing you a few months back for Hotel Cocaine which I loved and I told you then that I love Godfather of Harlem as well. So it’s so great to connect with you again!

What drew you to create Godfather of Harlem. It’s incredible prestige TV, it’s always great to see the depth of characters, dynamics, and interactions!

CB: First of all, that’s entirely due to my friend Paul Eckstein (First Wave, Narcos, Law & Order: Criminal Intent) who passed last year. He was my best friend and Paul told me about Bumpy Johnson who put his grandmother through secretarial school. He told me that Bumpy was this gangster/philanthropist in Harlem and over the course of time, we developed several projects – the movie Hoodlum in the 90s with Laurence Fishburne (What's Love Got To Do With It, The Matrix franchise, John Wick franchise) playing Bumpy in the 1930s and then 20 years later, Markuann Smith (King of Paper Chasin', The Hit Boys Redemption, The Realtor) and Jim Acheson (Numb3rs, For the People, By Whatever Means Necessary: The Times of Godfather of Harlem) producers came to me and Paul and said are you interested in doing Bumpy in the 60's?

Ultimately we decided yes – let’s do it. They were bringing Forest Whitaker (The Last King of Scotland, Southpaw, Black Panther) to the table. So lo and behold, we develop the show Paul and I and there you have it! Godfather of Harlem which we wanted to make it different in the way that we sought to do that was that Bumpy and Malcolm X were friends. So the friendship and the ability to explore both gangsterism and also the Civil Rights Movement was something that we felt was going to give us a fresh angle.

AM: It’s amazing because as you’re watching it, it’s like you have 80 onions that are all unlayering. You have these iconic people from so many sociodemographic areas layered in – it’s truly amazing. The styling of the show, the setting – what do you love most about it?

CB: I think that I love most about it is the actors that we have brought to the table. In other words, when you have Forest Whitaker playing the lead role, that’s when you can get a Vincent D’Onofrio (Law & Order: Criminal Intent, Daredevil series, Daredevil: Born Again series), a Giancarlo Esposito (Breaking Bad, The Mandalorian, The Residence) etc. etc. Watching these people – obviously writing this show, is difficult to blend all of these historical characters into this story, but then watching the actors make it come to life is my greatest pleasure!

So I love editing the episodes because I’m looking at the footage of the actors and the work that they have done.

AM: What should we keep an eye out for in S4?

CB: S4 is explosive if I do say so myself! We’ve got Frank Lucas coming to town straight off the bus to basically challenge Bumpy Johnson before they end up becoming pals. Then, Bumpy’s daughter Elise (Antoinette Crow-Legacy) joins the Black Panther movement in the wake of Malcom’s death and Bumpy isn’t too cool with that! He supports what the Panthers are doing, but not so much his daughter doing it!

AM: Right!

CB: So that’s going to create some friction! So we feel like we have 2 driving story lines this year. The introduction of Frank Lucas and Bumpy’s continued fight against the Italians and then on the Civil Rights side, we have Elise joining the Panthers and participating in their actions!

AM: We truly appreciate you taking the time! It’s an incredible show and anytime your name is on a project, it’s going to be amazing!

CB: Thank you! I appreciate that!

After chatting with Chris Brancato, we wanted to speak with the cast. We started by talking with Rome Flynn (How To Get Away with Murder, Grey's Anatomy, Chicago Fire) who is joining the cast as Frank Lucas. We wanted to know what he enjoys about this series, what it's like to play this notable figure, and what he hopes fans will walk away with after seeing this season.

ATHLEISURE MAG: We have been fans of yours since How To Get Away with Murder so it’s so nice to talk with you today!

ROME FLYNN: It’s nice to talk with you.

AM: What drew you to Godfather or Harlem?

RF: I mean, I couldn’t find a reason not to! It was a lot of positives you know - working with Forest Whitaker was at the top of the list and then working with Chris Brancato because I knew his work from Narcos and also just being a fan of the show in general. I was like, to be on a show like this would be a dream as an actor.

AM: You’re playing Frank Lucas which is amazing and exciting. How did you approach playing him?

RF: Yeah, it’s a different process to playing someone who lived and breathed on this Earth and left an impact whether it’s good or bad. There was a heavy sense of responsibility, care, and just an attention to detail on discovering who Frank was and trying not to necessarily imitate who he was but finding his essence and bringing that which was extremely important to me because I don’t think that we have seen a version of him like this.

I was afforded an amazing opportunity to play a character that people know, good or bad – we’ll see.

AM: What did you enjoy about playing him, bringing him to life, making him your own especially because regardless of what you know about him, if you think about American Gangster for example – there is that version of Frank Lucas. So it’s exciting to see it and what did you like about doing that?

RF: Yeah, I got to step into the shoes of a man who was equally charming, but also cutthroat and also unpredictable and dangerous. He was also troubled too. As an actor, you want to play a character who is fully dimensional and is carrying a lot of baggage, trauma, and who is still struggling with their purpose and why they are where they are in life. That’s just really fun and rich to play.

It wasn’t just about being a gangster or playing someone who is put in those situations. It was about playing a man who is navigating his life who is in these situations and trying to find the commonalities with a person like this.

AM: What do you want fans to walk away from after seeing S4 and getting to see Frank Lucas and his interactions and dynamics with everyone else this season?

RF: I just hope that the moment that the season is done that the people are clamoring for another one! That’s how I felt just being a fan of the show too! But yeah, I think that there is still so much story to be told. You guys when you love this show, you should talk about it and share it! There is no other show on TV like it that has this sort of historical precedence and is really honoring the details and honoring people during that time. We’ve got to keep this show going! We have to make sure that people see this show because it’s important.

IG @romeflynn

We were excited to sit down with Lucy Fry (Wolf Creek, Mr. Church, Bright) and Michael Raymond James (True Blood, Jack Reacher, See) who plays Stella Gigante and Joseph Colombo respectfully. Lucy has been in the world of Godfather of Harlem since the inaugural season and Michael came into this series during S3. As they have a number of scenes together, we wanted to know more about how they came to the show, what they love about it and more.

ATHLEISURE MAG: It’s so great to connect with you guys as I’m a fan of your work as well as the show!

What drew you guys to want to be part of Godfather of Harlem?

LF: When I first read the script, I guess I really wanted to get into the world of the 60s, gangsters in NY, I thought it was really cool. I'm a fan of Forest Whitaker, so I was really excited to be able to work with him. Yeah that was about 6 yars ago when I first joined. My reasons for loving it have continued to evolve over the seasons, but that was the initial impulse.

MRJ: Yeah, for me, when I got the offer, and when I heard that Forest had asked for me, you know when Forest Whitaker says that he wants to work with you, run you don’t walk. For me, it was kind of a no-brainer.

AM: Obviously you guys play Stella Gigante and Joseph Colombo. How do you approach playing these characters?

LF: I guess there is a mixture of reality and fiction for me anyway with both of us as the story is inspired by real events, but it’s fiction and Stella is a fictional character. So I approached it by looking at the context of the time and the world of NY in the 60s and the gangs and reading the Chin’s – one of his kids actual autobiographies. But then finding the things that are personal to me to fill the fictional world with.

MRJ: You know, Joe Colombo, was a real person and there is an element of – you want to be sort of respectful of that and stay honest to some of that. But, we are doing a show that is historical fiction as Lucy talked about and so it really is all about the material. As an actor, you get the material, you break down that material as opposed to me having to do an impersonation of Joe Colombo. We’re creating a whole new Joe Colombo and Stella Gigante based on the pages that we get.

AM: What have you loved about playing these characters and bringing them to life?

LF: I’ve really loved Stella’s journey over the 4 seasons. She’s really come into herself and grown into a woman that is hungry for power and manipulating the men around her and playing the game that she has learned from her father (Chin Gigante played by Vincent D’Onofrio). It’s been really fun to go from pushing her father away and having all of these romance things to someone who is taking power for herself.

I think that her relationship with Colombo is very informative in that development.

MRJ: Playing the game as Lucy said is really fun and there’s so much nuance and so much in between the lines where it’s not really just the words that you say. It’s the 4 moves ahead that you’re kind of playing. It’s like 3-Dimensional chess with every script. So that’s always fun to play things where there is a lot of nuance and subtext to kind of put your shoulder behind.

LF: I think that the gang world, it kind of gives you a lot more subtext than most genres.

AM: Right.

MRJ: Right.

LF: Because it’s like are they going to kill me? Aren’t they going to kill me? It’s kind of like a constant subtext ha!

MRJ: Ha – but also the people man! Lucy and I show up on set and it’s giggles immediately and sometimes it’s hard to break free from that, but what’s always fun is that the giggles are always just underneath.

LF: Right

MRJ: And you see it come out a little bit in the work. Just a little bit – like holding back laughs and it’s a very serious scene where we’re talking about murder.

LF: It’s quite fun and you can tell that our characters really enjoy the game!

THE GOLDEN BACHELOR S2. E0. | MEET MEL OWENS

S2 of ABC’s The Golden Bachelor has been greenlit and is slated to film from Jun - Aug with the premiere being sometime this fall. We don’t have all the details yet, but we do know that Mel Owens (NFL veteran, formerly the founder of Evolution Wear and is currently a sports injury lawyer) will be the lead. He has not previously competed on the show. When we find out about who will be competing in his season, we’ll let you know!

As we do each season, we have shared these images (we’ll update their ABC gallery images) and we’ll begin to make the best guess on who will be going to Hometowns! We can’t wait to see how Grant and Jesse Palmer will vibe as he continues through the season and what surprises will be along the way.

Each night during this season, we will tweet about The Golden Bachelorette and you can chat along with us (@AthleisureMag + with our Co-Founder/Creative + Style Director, Kimmie Smith @ShesKimmie) to see what’s taking place!

Each week we will let you know who our faves were from the last episode and if we’ve changed up since then as it pertains to who we think should go to Hometowns.

We also suggest a podcast that we’ve become obsessed with over the past few seasons, Wondery’s Bachelor Happy Hour to get their feedback!

THE SPICE OF LIFE | CHEF MANEET CHAUHAN

When it comes to seeing our favorite chefs in an array of culinary shows, we always enjoy seeing Chef Maneet Chauhan as she is passionate about her food, always dresses the part, and has an array of restaurants on our list when we head to Nashville!

We took the time to sit down with Chef Maneet to find out about her culinary background, the first dish she created, her Morph Hospitality Group, how she approaches adding more restaurants to her portfolio, being a TV personality, her work on Food Network and more!

ATHLEISURE MAG: What was the dish that made you realize that you loved food?

CHEF MANEET CHAUHAN: It’s called aloo paratha. It is a potato-stuffed flat bread, cooked in ghee until it's crispy and served with homemade butter. My mom made it for me when I was young, and it was love at first bite.

AM: What was the first dish that you remember cooking?

CHEF MC: Matar paneer. It's Indian cottage cheese cubes in a spiced curry with green peas. I was in 7th grade and cooked dinner for my parents.

AM: When did you realize that you wanted to be a chef?

CHEF MC: I was in 9th grade and my older sister was completing her undergrad. I used to meet her on campus and bring food with me. I then figured out I was the most popular kid on campus. That's when I realized this is what I want to do for the rest of my life.

AM: Tell us about your culinary journey in terms of where you trained and kitchens you worked in prior to opening your Nashville restaurant.

CHEF MC: I did my undergrad in India at Welcomgroup Graduate School of Hotel Administration (WGSHA) and then came to America to study at The Culinary Institute of America. I worked at restaurants in Philadelphia, Cherry Hill, Chicago and New York before opening my own business.

AM: How would you define your style of cooking?

CHEF MC: I consider my style of cooking to be global with a foundation of Indian flavors and techniques.

AM: What led to you opening Chauhan Ale and Masala House and why did you want to open this in Nashville?

CHEF MC: Nashville has such an incredible audience and such a diverse flavor palette that I really wanted to do something that had not been done before here. Chauhan Ale and Masala House is my love letter to Indian cuisine and Nashville - it's Indian food served with a southern flair.

AM: Tell us about what we can expect from this restaurant in terms of the cuisine and ambiance?

CHEF MC: It's a really fun restaurant and encompasses both traditional and modern India, with a very healthy dose of the South. That's in terms of both the decor and the food. There is a lot of fun and whimsy in the menu and in the space.

AM: Since opening Chauhan Ale you have the Morph Hospitality Group- can you tell us about each of the eateries?

CHEF MC: There is Chauhan Ale and Masala House, which is modern Indian mixed with a southern flair, The Mockingbird which is Americano with a retro vibe to it and then eet is fast casual in Disney Springs.

AM: Tell us more about eet by Maneet Chauhan is at Disney Springs in Orlando, Florida.

CHEF MC: eet shows the best flavors of Indian in a very approachable manner, so think chicken tikka masala pizza.

AM: How do you go about deciding what restaurant to open where?

CHEF MC: I think it’s a combination. First is learning what we'll need for a space, second is figuring out if we have the right talent and third is determining what we are passionate about. If we are passionate about a particular concept or a particular idea, then that’s what we stick to.

AM: In addition to being a restaurateur, you are a best selling cookbook author with your first book Flavors of My World: A Culinary Tour Through 25 Countries, followed by The Journey, and more recently in 2020 Chaat - why has it been important for you to share your culinary point of view in this medium?

CHEF MC: I think being a chef is a lot like storytelling. You tell a story on a plate of food, and it’s the same story that I want to tell people through words and written medium. It's just a visual treat, for example the photos for Chaat we took in India. I like creating that excitement for people.

AM: What is the creation process for you with your cookbooks and are there plans for releasing another?

CHEF MC: There’s always plans for more! With cookbooks it truly is a group effort. I work with an editor and a co-author and they help give the book direction, because I have a lot of ideas!

AM: For years, we have enjoyed seeing you on Food Network whether you are a guest judge, competing, or hosting your shows! What led to you adding TV Judge/Host to your portfolio?

CHEF MC: It wasn’t something that I set out to do, but I got the opportunity then realized how much I enjoyed it. That's why I do it. I love to connect with people through the medium of television.

AM: When you're judging, what's your approach or formula when you are considering a dish or is there a competitor that sticks out to you?

CHEF MC: I think for me it has to be a combination of everything – the competitor has to show the right technique, develop flavor and show who they are and their culinary point of view on the plate. Those are the things I look for when I’m judging.

AM: You're the only 2X winner of Guy Fieri's Tournament of Champions, what does that mean to you?

CHEF MC: It means that lightning can strike the same place twice! I’m very proud of it. It seems like a validation for my entire life of working hard and putting my heart and soul into what I do. It was a very surreal moment and I’m very grateful that it's proven I've chosen the right career!

AM: When you were competing in this show, was there a chef that you looked forward to going up against?

CHEF MC: I have realized the toughest person I can go up against is me myself.

AM: Everytime that we see you on air, we always enjoy seeing your accessories as well as your ensemble as a whole, clearly you have an interest in fashion - will we ever see you create a line or collaborate with someone?

CHEF MC: If I get the opportunity, why not!

AM: You have had a number of accolades from being a James Beard Award winner, breaking glass ceilings throughout your career, and being about presenting your point of view through cooking, what does it mean to you?

CHEF MC: Each and every time that I get an accolade it builds my confidence in who I am as a person, and it also pushes me to do much better. It's validation I was meant to do this.

AM: How do you balance having a successful career while also having a family and being a mother?

CHEF MC: Balance is a myth. You just make the best of whatever you are doing.

AM: Are there any projects that we should keep an eye out for that you would like to share?

CHEF MC: Just keep an eye out!

AM: We like asking our favorite chefs about their 9CH3FS ROUTIN3S that highlights 3 key things that you must have, do, and enjoy for your Mornings, Afternoons, and Night as a chef.

CHEF MC: That’s a tough question because every day is a very different day for me. My morning ritual after I get up is I have my chai, and then I take a few minutes just to figure out what my day will be like and how I want to conquer it. What I love about my life is no two days are the same. If I’m filming it’s a different day than if I'm home.
