The Simpsons Executive Producer Matt Selman talked to The Hollywood Reporter about the upcoming episode “The Food Wife” airing this Sunday November 13th. In addition to revealing where his interest in the topic came from, he suggests a few restaurants in LA where The Simpsons like to dine.
Homer’s man-cave hangout The Golden State: “They mix beer and ice cream. Stick a donut in there and it’s perfect.” 426 N. Fairfax Ave., L.A., 323.782.8331, thegoldenstatecafe.com
Marge’s sweet stop Magnolia Bakery: “She’s been trying to figure out their banana pudding recipe, but Homer keeps eating it before she get it home.” 8389 W. 3rd St., L.A., 323.951.0636, magnoliabakery.com
