This year the dining events are all about collaborations between world-class chefs. At Beauty & Essex, enjoy a meal created by talented Chris Santos (chef at Beauty & Essex, judge on Chopped) and the amazing Antonia Lofaso (chef at DAMA, Food Network judge, cookbook author) – he’s creating a gourmet grilled cheese, carne asada, stone fruit salad, and cherry empanadas, while she contributes an Italian-Spanish fusion take on lamb chops, aguachile-kanpachi, and chili-rubbed snapper. With two chefs of their skill level, not a single bite is going to be less than perfect.

Other dining event options include Jason Prendergast and Michael Corvino at Fig, Alvin Cailan and Royce Burke joining Barb Batiste at Big Boi, Charles Olalia and Sheldon Simeon at Ma’am Sir, and an amazing quartet in Koreatown – Ted and Yong Kim, Deuki Hong, and Han Ly Hwang! Each group will be melding individual styles together into a cohesive meal, and the results are likely going to change how you look at food.
Tastings
There are 4 tasting events, each featuring 25 different chefs, hosted by a food celebrity, and you don’t want to miss a single one. Also included in your ticket will be the tastings from breweries, wineries, and distilleries present.
