The Hotel Valley Ho is a favorite for many Valley locals because of its mid-century modern design, food and wine events and pool parties. And you'll dine well too when you're there at the hotel restaurant Zuzu. In this episode, we meet Chef Russell LaCasce and his wife, and Valley native, Simona. Hear how the two met in culinary school, the history behind the name Zuzu, and how family milestones make their mark on the menu.
