Los Angeles Magazine's 2011 "The Food Event" Not to Be Missed
Last year at the L.A. Mag Food Event, Sweetsalt served up this delicious duck slider. What are they bringing this year? (Lindsay William-Ross/LAist)

Following last weekend's Los Angeles Food & Wine Festival and September's The Taste, it's understandable if food lovers in our fair city are experiencing "event" fatigue. It would be a shame if you let that deter you from attending Los Angeles magazine’s The Food Event 2011 this Sunday. The event, which celebrates the release of Los Angeles magazine's "Food Lovers Guide," has earned a reputation as one of the best food festivals in LA, and one worth the $95 price tag.
Now to the important part: what do you get for your hard-earned $95? You'll enjoy three hours of sampling wines from 20+ wineries and bites from over 35 restaurants among 60,000 vines and exotic animals in the pastoral Saddlerock Ranch in the Malibu Hills.
Participating restaurants include: Black Market Liquor Bar [LAist review], Lukshon, Más Malo [LAist review], Farmshop, MB Post [LAist review], Michael's, Picca, The Foundry, Patina, Osteria La Buca, and Rivera [LAist review]. There will also be demonstrations from celebrated chefs including: Ricardo Zarate (Picca, Mo-Chica), Brendan Collins (Waterloo & City), Zach & Steve (Sotto), Rory Herrmann (Bouchon), and Karen & Quinn Hatfield (Hatfield's). Added bonus: free parking.
The Food Event
Sunday Oct. 23rd, 2011 1-4 p.m. @ Saddlerock Ranch Malibu
Tickets are available online for $95, or $100 with a 1-year subscription to Los Angeles magazine.

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.
