From August 22nd to August 25th, Los Angeles is hosting the very anticipated food and wine festival. During the four-day “epicurean extravaganza,” people who partake will get to be around some the nation’s most amazing chefs today. Some of those names include Jeremiah Tower (“The Last Magnificent”), native Angelenos Nancy Silverton, Jet Tila and Alvin Cailan, and several celebrity chefs like Curtis Stone, Tim Hollingsworth and Antonia Lofaso. On top of that, the festival will be putting forth wines from all corners of the world and all across California.
Los Angeles Food & Wine launches Thursday evening with a series of dinners at restaurants across the city. The action then shifts to the historic Barker Hangar at Santa Monica Airport, one of LA’s premier event spaces, for the rest of the weekend. Among the 14 culinary star-studded events:
The Legends Dinner at Chi SPACCA:The widely credited father of California cuisine Jeremiah Tower joins queen of the Mozza-Plex Nancy Silverton at her white-hot Chi SPACCA. This epic, one-night-only pairing promises a lifetime of bragging rights to the 40 festival-goers fortunate enough to snag a ticket.
