Chef Hope “Sabrina” Huber Reflects on Being Quoted in Edible LA’s FieldNotes Spring Feature

Chef Hope “Sabrina” Huber is expressing sincere gratitude after being quoted and included in Edible LA’s feature on FieldNotes, where she participated as a working chef team member and hosted an information table during the event.

For Huber, being included in the story was especially meaningful because Edible LA, part of the James Beard-recognized Edible Communities network, is known for covering the deeper people, ideas, and values behind food culture. The feature gave thoughtful attention to the event itself, the conversations it sparked, and the broader spirit of sustainability, agriculture, community, and culinary craft that shaped the day. 

Huber said she was honored not only to be included, but also to have the opportunity to speak about with the reporter during the event and contribute to a story produced with such care. The Snail of Approval is a recognition given by her alma matter, UNISG, founders of the Slow Food movement to food and beverage businesses that demonstrate a commitment to three core values: Good, Clean, and Fair food for all. Unlike standard food awards that focus primarily on taste, this designation evaluates an establishment’s impact on the food system, the environment, and the community.  

“I was truly honored to be quoted and included in Edible LA’s FieldNotes feature,” said Chef Hope “Sabrina” Huber. “I really enjoyed meeting Sarah Schecter, speaking with her throughout the day, and seeing how thoughtfully she captured the spirit of the event. As an early-career chef, it meant a great deal to be included in such a respected publication and in a story centered on conversations that matter so deeply to me.”

That recognition carries special meaning for Huber because her path has been shaped by both academic study and lived experience. She earned her undergraduate degree, cum laude, in Environmental Studies and Sciences from Saint Mary’s College of California, and later received her master’s degree with honors from the University of Gastronomic Sciences in Pollenzo. She is also an Ambassador of Slow Foods of North America, and her work reflects a thoughtful commitment to sustainability, food systems, biodiversity, and ingredient-driven hospitality. 

For Huber, the feature felt like an early affirmation of the kind of public voice she hopes to keep developing — one grounded in respect for the land, for producers, for meaningful food conversations, and for the communities those conversations serve.

“I have a lot of respect for Edible LA and for the kinds of stories the magazine chooses to tell,” Huber said. “To be mentioned in connection with themes like sustainability, community, food culture, and hospitality is something I will always be grateful for. I hope our paths cross again in the future, and I would be honored to contribute to more conversations around the important work and ideas that Edible LA brings to light.”

As her public profile continues to grow, Huber says she intends to carry that same spirit of gratitude forward — with respect for the publication, for the writer, and for the larger food community that made the story possible.
