Things to do
If you're like me and love watching cooking videos, then you'll remember watching Bon Appétit's original, fun and quirky cast of chefs doing cook-offs. I loved them all, but chef Molly Baz was one of my favorites, even though her love for extra salt in all her recipes made me nervous. If you too are a Baz fan here's a chance to see her in person talk about her love of food (and salt):
- Now Serving + Ace Hotel DTLA Presents: An Evening with Molly Baz: New York Times best-selling author Molly Baz discusses her new cookbook More is More: Get Loose in the Kitchen with actor and comedian Eric Wareheim. The bookstore Now Serving will sell signed copies of More is More on-site. Next door at Upstairs, the restaurant serves up specials featuring recipes from More is More for one night only. Baz's collaborative wine with The Marigny winery, Drink This Wine, and Wareheim's Las Jaras wines will be poured at The Theatre and Upstairs.
