When Alison Roman read “makeup - Bobbi Brown” on a call sheet a few months ago, she didn’t realize that Bobbi Brown would actually be doing her makeup until she sat in the chair—and the two became fast friends. In this week’s episode, hear how Alison went from working in restaurants to becoming a best-selling cookbook author and internet sensation. Alison and Bobbi talk about what authenticity really means, how to have a healthy body image while loving food, and their favorite red nail. Plus, Alison reveals her favorite restaurants and quarantine-friendly delivery services, which any NYC local will want to try.
