Q&A with Carmella

Q: If you could choose anyone famous (real or fictional) to have dinner with who would they be and why?

I'm cheating slightly, but I'd choose my entire extended family, including all my grandparents (living and passed), my mum's 13 siblings, my dad's 8 siblings, and all my cousins who were my first best friends.

Some of my happiest memories are the chaos of us all around a table of good Filipino food, so I'd love the chance to have everyone together again!

Q: As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?

A journalist (like many other millennials who grew up on too many rom coms).

Q: If a movie was made of your life what genre would it be, who would play you?

A food & travel documentary, and maybe Vanessa Hudgens would play me.
