Natalie Morales has been working her ass off turning supporting television roles into memorable characters. Now she’s having a major movie moment, and we’re here for it
“I slapped a guy with a piece of pizza once,” Natalie Morales says nonchalantly, sitting on the kitchen counter in her skivvies at our Tidal photo shoot. She takes another bite of the memory-triggering slice in her hand before launching into a story that involves a New York pizzeria and a group of fresh-mouthed guys. It’s the kind of anecdote that puts the 32-year-old actor’s signature irreverence on full display. Kind of like the business cards she hands out, which claim specialization in animal whispering and lemonade, and list “Singer of Sentimental Ballads” and “Last of the Big Spenders” among her titles. Also included is “Occasional Big Time Movie Star,” which—after becoming a television fixture on Parks and Recreation, Trophy Wife, Girls, and The Grinder—is now more accurate than tongue-in-cheek, thanks to her role in the new Emma Stone–Steve Carrell vehicle, Battle of the Sexes.

It took the Brooklyn-based self-taught chef, who hosts age-old traditions in brand-new ways pop-up dinners and caters under the name Po-Po’s, a number of years to realize that, though. “Po-Po” means “grandma” in Chinese, and Chang named her venture in honor of the family matriarch who helped inspire BY LISA BUTTERWORTH her love of cooking—a skill she did not always appreciate growing up in Southern California in the ’80s and early ’90s. “My parents are immi- PHOTOGRAPHED BY ANNA WOLF grants, and when they got here, fast food was considered a ‘healthy,’ cheap option. We were definitely not well off, so it was that or my grandmother’s cooking, this duality of eating crazy-bad-for-you fast food and also really good homemade, high-quality Taiwanese-Chinese food,” she says. “When I was in high school and college, I preferred fast food because I would see my grandma in the kitchen for days.” Her family’s love of restaurants like Denny’s and Sizzler also had as much (if not more) to do with acclimation than taste. “I think that in an immigrant family, you put anything that’s American on a pedestal; we’re trying so hard to blend in,” she says.
It wasn’t until Chang’s third year in college at UCLA that her inter- est in food spiked. She started seeking out farmers’ markets and new restaurants. Then one weekend she decided to make dinner for the guy she was dating, and after working her way through butternut squash ravioli and a veal recipe from an “Easy Italian” cookbook, she was hooked. “I just fell in love with the process, but mostly I fell in love with the feeling of feeding him. That’s what has kept me wanting to cook for people, that feeling of sharing,” she says. “I think that ties back to the way my grandmother was, forcing me to eat all the time. I realized later that that’s how she expressed her love and care.” So Chang began spending time in the kitchen with her grandmother, soaking up her Dispelling the ‘crazy cat lady’ myth one photo shoot at a time knowledge and writing down her recipes. “She was so frustrated be- cause she’d be like, ‘a pinch of this,’ and I’d stop her and I’d make her BY ILANA KAPLAN put the pinch in a teaspoon [to measure it],” Chang says with a laugh.
