We’re kicking off Season 4 of The Lone Star Plate with an amazing guest, a bright young actress and rising star Emma Malouff. Emma is co-starring with Sarah Paulson in "Impeachment: American Crime Story", an FX series by Ryan Murphy about the 1990s Clinton-Lewinsky scandal. In the series she plays Allison Tripp, the daughter of Linda Tripp whose tapes exposed the Clinton-Lewinsky affair.   

Emma spent a good portion of her life living in Austin where she discovered her passion for food, and now she lives in LA, committed to her acting career.
