Of the numerous food events held in and around town, the Los Angeles Magazine Food Event happens to be one of the best. Escaping the concrete jungle and sending guests to the awe-inspiring acreage of Malibu Hills' Saddlerock Ranch--one of our premiere local wineries--the afternoon is a true celebration of good eats and drinks in a relaxed atmosphere.For their fifth annual celebration, on Sunday, October 24th, Los Angeles is once again bringing together great chefs, culinary experts, and sommeliers for a day of tasting and talking. A cooking demo area gives guests a chance to learn from the pros up close, while the "Conversation Lounge" sets up well-known chefs and attendees in an outdoor cozy living room for lively chats.
Participating restaurants include some of our favorites, like Eva, Magnolia Bakery, Akasha, and Sweetsalt (and many more), and this year, a few food trucks will be rolling up.
Unlimited food and drink, parking, and access to all the demos and talks is $95 ($100 if you add in a subscription to the magazine) and $110 if you buy at the door. Kids, pets, and those under 21 need to stay at home, though. [Tickets]
Support for LAist comes from
Last year: Blown Away By Los Angeles Magazine's Annual Food Event
As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
