General Hospital’s Jackie Zeman and Jaime Laurita: Make This Place Your Home

 General Hospital (http://abc.go.com/shows/general-hospital) star, Jackie Zeman (https://www.instagram.com/jacklyn.zeman/?hl=en) is a foodie.  Although she loves to eat, Jackie admits that she is not a good cook and she wishes a “food fairy” would come into her kitchen. Ironically, her character, Nurse Bobbie, was a restaurateur on General Hospital.  She and her onscreen brother Luke Spencer ran Kelly’s Diner.  Although the food is real on set, Jackie says that it’s challenging to actually eat while filming a scene.  Chef Jaime and I enjoyed our Kitchen Chat with Jackie in the Viking Showroom.
