The weekend is so close you can practically taste it. Here are the edible events going on in the next few days to keep you occupied—and sated, for that matter.
Ceviche Project Pop-Up: Great seafood and cocktails? Count us in. The Ceviche Project is collaborating with the new Cocktail Academy in Downtown L.A., along with Casamigos Tequila and Caliche Rum for a Sunday brunch pop-up at 1 p.m. The menu will showcase five course of seafood alongside stellar cocktail pairings. Their event last year featured libations from Daniel K. Nelson, so you're in for a real treat. The price is $90 per event. Tickets must be purchased in advance here.
Cooking Class at Border Grill: Border Grill's chefs and owners Mary Sue Milliken and Susan Feniger are teaching South of the Border brunch basics in a demonstration-style cooking class this Saturday from 9:30-11 a.m. at the downtown L.A. location. For $75, guests will receive a multi-course brunch that comes with dishes like chorizo skillet chilaquiles, huevos rancheros, guava yogurt, and smoked sable with lime cream cheese. Oh, and don't forget the seasonal mimosas, and a recipe booklet to take home in case you can't remember it all after said mimosas. Call (213) 486-5171 to make your reservation.
Spice Market Tour with 9021PHO: Chef Kimmy Tang is leading an Asian Spice Tour in the San Gabriel Valley on Saturday, staring at the Spice Market in San Gabriel. There, Tang will pluck out some of her favorite herbs and spices for cooking, and give you some time to shop around. Then the group will head over to Ocean Star for dim sum and mingling. The tour is $25 per person, which includes recipes and a gift bag. The food and any extra purchases are on you. The tour runs from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. You can email spicetour@9021pho.com for more info and to reserve a space.
