L.A. Times Celebration of Food & Wine Wednesday, September 1, 2010
Can $135 buy you happiness? It can if you love food and wine, and unlimited samplings thereof. That's the cost of VIP entry into the L.A. Times Celebration of Food & Wine, a Labor Day weekend pigout at Paramount Studios bringing together celebrity chefs, mixologists, food trucks, and culinary hedonists like yourself. The cheap seats go for $65, but you still get eight drink tickets, a commemorative wine glass, and the musical stylings of indie-pop rockers She & Him (concert only, $40). Tastings from the Food Network Garden come courtesy The Great Food Truck Race's Crepes Bonaparte, Nom Nom Truck, Rajin Cajun, and Nana Queen's Puddin' & Wings, but the real action's in the all-you-can-eat VIP: Babycakes NYC, BLD/Grace, Border Grill, Ciudad, Eva, First & Hope, Ivan Kane's Cafe Was, Josie Restaurant, K-Zo, Locanda del Lago, Loteria Grill, Madame Chocolat, RockSugar, Susan Feniger's Street, Water Grill, Xino, and more wineries than you can shake a corkscrew at. And it isn't a party without Aarti — as in Aarti Sequeira, the latest Next Food Network Star winner, who appears in person along with Michael Voltaggio, Ludo Lefebvre, Chris "C.J." Jacobson, and other heroes of the blogosphere. Full schedule at events.latimes.com/foodandwine. Paramount Studios Backlot, 5555 Melrose Ave., Hlywd.; Sun., Sept. 5, noon-8 p.m.; $65, $135 VIP; parking $7 (cash only). (Originally published in L.A. Weekly, September 3, 2010.)
