Brant Cox
Editorial Lead, Los Angeles
Brant is a native Illinoisan and also can’t believe that’s how you spell Illinoisan. He’s been an full-time Angeleno since 2009 and joined The Infatuation in 2015. Since then, he’s contributed to thousands of restaurant reviews and guides and has been seen on-air with KTLA, CBS, and KCAL, plus moderated discussions with Sarah Jessica Parker, Dan Levy, and Chris Pine, to a name a few. Prior to joining The Infatuation, Brant could be seen performing at The Groundlings and The Second City in Chicago, and prior to that, he used to hide Kraft singles in his socks as a kid so his parents wouldn’t know he was hoarding cheese. Brant currently resides in West Hollywood with his boyfriend and two imaginary corgis.
