i actually like that because there's there's ai bartenders in vegas now and soon there'll be ai chefs but the food won't have the energy there's no way it could have the energy and that you know i feel like if that day comes i'm done i won't be it's coming it is coming fast food's gonna be first i think yes they're gonna go first and then eventually restaurants
Okay, guys, very special guest today from Sedona. Took the drive out here. Chef Lisa, one of my favorite restaurants in the world right now, Mariposa. So thanks for coming on. Oh, I'm honored. Thank you. I was just telling you before we started, I had one lunch reservation there. It was so good. I ended up going every single day on my whole trip.
You know, I told you I wish that you had tried a few of the others, but next time you will. Can't wait. I'm so happy that you loved it. You got six restaurants, right? I got six. Yes, five concepts. They're all in Sedona. That's amazing. So you really like that market.
Well, it wasn't that I planned to be a restaurateur in that market and have six restaurants, but it did happen over a period of 29 years. So it's lovely. It's incredible. It's very different. But when you think of all the guests that come to us from all over the world, it's pretty amazing. Sedona is a beautiful spot. I actually got engaged there. Oh, did you? Where? Lover's Knoll.
Is that up on Schnemble Hill Road? It was high up because there was a beautiful view. That's amazing. I think it's up on Schnemble Hill Road. You have to kind of climb up to the top. Yeah, I played it off. I was like, you want to go hiking? And then just pulled it out. Oh, brilliant, brilliant. Pulled it off. But Sedona will always hold a special place in my heart because of that.
When did you get engaged? Two years ago and we're getting married this year. Oh, what about Sedona? No, no, no. No, no, no. Where are you going? We grew up on the East Coast. So we're taking it back home. But I wouldn't be opposed. But yeah, Jersey. Maybe an after celebration. Yeah. That we could, you know, do something magical for you. Yeah. The energy there. It is.
For people that haven't been, it's hard to explain. It's kind of prolific. Yeah. Really, it's a place that all your creative juices are enhanced. I just feel like it's really hard to describe, but I just feel much better out there. Do you? Yeah, just something in the air.
Yeah, I think it's probably in the, like in the rocks, embedded in the, I always feel like there's a mineral content or something that just makes everybody really alive and open to, just to their creative forces. Right, right. I can say it's been very good for me. I've been able to write two cookbooks. Nice.
Since living there and I'm birthing restaurants. Not on purpose, but they've happened. It is amazing energy. Yeah. Well, they say the vortexes, right? Yes. There's a lot of those out there. The trees are like spiraling. Oh, exactly. Yeah. There's something special out there. Yeah. It's there. Yeah. Did you see those spiral trees? I saw a few where I stayed. Yeah, I got an Airbnb. Beautiful.
