The Taste Presented by Los Angeles Times and Citi
Shout out to the LA Times and Citi for bringing 3 days of extravagance and entertainment to Hollywood during the long Labor Day Weekend! Hooray!
Ok people... no need to fight intense traffic to go to some other town to find fun this weekend. And no need to fight crowds to get broiled at the beach. The real action is right here in LA at Paramont Studios all weekend thanks to the LA Times and Citi Group!
The Los Angeles Times is bringing distinctive restaurants, dynamic demonstrations, libations and culinary experts together in one place at The Taste, a Labor Day weekend culinary scene.
A who’s-who of Times critics’ best-reviewed restaurants – Girasol, Plan Check Kitchen + Bar, Fishing with Dynamite, Border Grill, Chichén Itzá, Acabar – is set to serve signature dishes during the three-day festival with more to come. Inspired conversations led by The Times Food staff will include chef and bartender insights on shopping the farmers market, a look at the history and influence of The French Laundry, and an exploration of foraged and found foods. Engaging cooking demos with James Beard Outstanding Chef Nancy Silverton (Pizzeria and Osteria Mozza), esteemed pastry chef Karen Hatfield (The Sycamore Kitchen, Hatfield’s), rising star Bruce Kalman (Union) and others will give attendees a glimpse into the city’s most revered kitchens.
The Taste will transform Paramount Pictures Studios’ backlot into the ultimate epicurean pop-up and block party Friday, August 29th through Sunday, August 31st. Here is the schedule so you can buy tickets now:
