Jay Eats Worldwide

I don't always get invited to the Rose Bowl for events other than football and soccer, but tonight it's a different kind of event. Tonight is the preview of the 2nd Annual Masters of Taste , a luxury food and beverage festival which takes place on the field of the Rose Bowl on Sunday, May 7th, 2017. A 100% of the proceeds supports Union Station Homeless Services . Working to end homelessness in our community. Get Tickets HERE (use "CHEF17" for a 15% discount)  See What Jay Eats... This is a small preview of the upcoming event on May 7th. Yes, my friends at SprieWorks were there with their Bangkok sandwich. If you've never been to SpireWorks, see more from my Westwood visit  HERE SpireWorks ' chef, Kuniko Yagi, bringing this Thai flavored sandwich to life...

The ice sculpture dispensing champagne Thanks to my friend Erin ( @DatingAdviceGirl ), I was invited to the Inaugural Crave Expo at The Mark of Events in Los Angeles. Event founders, Jacob Lee, Peter Paik, and Martin Kim, wanted to create a one stop shop for catering needs. I've been to a lot of food shows, both trade and various  food & wine events,  as both an attendee and exhibitor/chef. I guess I wasn't expecting a lot of soon-to-be brides in attendance, but it makes perfect sense.  Just as what the founders wanted to create, a one stop shop for catering and event services. As I arrived, Lawry's Catering was the first vendor I came across. Having catered with them at  a few events (and also as an attendee), they do a professional job outside of the re staurant  environment and of course their food is very good too. See What Jay Eats...
