LOS ANGELES TIMES FOOD BOWL PRESENTS: TAKEOUT AND GIVE BACK
We have partnered up with the Together We are Stronger campaign curated by local San Pedro Print House and Art Collective CALIMUCHO
We have partnered with local artist Seth “MEEXONE” Wilder from The Love Alone to design these one of a kind “VIVA LA FOODIES” tee shirts for this amazing social change campaign that supports Black Lives Matter and other organizations that support community initiatives.
A tiny volcano rests in the middle of Restaurant Row in Beverly Hills. Inside, is Ryu Isobe, a spiritual warrior who practices his culinary craft: soba noodles. He makes sure the humidity in his noodle workstation is adjusted to correct temperatures, the variety of the buckwheat is of the right grind, and the broth is pure.
Citrus is the feast’s theme. The clean-tasting Blood Orange Caprese amuse-bouche does what it’s supposed to do, warm the gut up for the first round: a Grapefruit Avocado Tart and a spread of Citrus Cured Salmon with Finger Lime “Caviar.” Brighter than the stuff in between poppyseed bagels and cream cheese, like sashimi, the mild tang is pleasant to be eaten by itself and doesn’t need to be muted by heavy dairy and carbs.
Take the Rye Macaroni (made in-house) with fennel sausage, black kale, and ricotta. Fiorelli’s mom cooked him a similar dish when he was little. “She used boxed orecchiette pasta, went to the butcher for the sausage, put in any vegetables we had around, and mixed it with a little Parmesan cheese and olive oil. A staple in Italian American homes.”

The Secret Burger Showdown was put on in conjunction with the LA Food Bowl, a month long and 2nd annual foodie extravaganza coordinated by the LA Times. The LA Food Bowl celebrates the outstanding food that we Angelenos tend to take for granted. We have access to some of the most important ingredients to outstanding, unique and exciting food: world renowned chefs, the perfect climate to support locally grown produce and… celebrities! One of the over 200 hosted foodie events was the Secret Burger Showdown was on May 26 at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts in Beverly Hills. Gracefully hosted by the folks at Off The Menu Club and Postmates benefitting No Kid Hungry & Feeding America.
Here’s how it worked, 9 burgerists from all corners of the city collaborated with a special celebrity to come up with a first time tasted, over the top burger that would win them the ever so coveted Championship Trophy, complete with a triple stack burger topping to the 3 foot tall trophy.
The L.A. Times, LA Food Bowl Night Market “Pop-up” at Grand Park was one of the events we were enthusiastic to cover since the LA Food Bowl lineup of foodie-centric activities were first announced at the press conference a few months ago.
Groening and chefs Kris Yenbamroong (Night + Market restaurants), Andy Ricker (Pok Pok), Jet Tila (Chef Jet), Louis Tikaram (E.P. & L.P.), and LA SON: Roy Choi (Kogi/The Line Hotel/POT/Sunny Spot/A-Frame, Locol..& the new TV Series “Broken Bread”) came together at The Line Hotel to honor Tui Sungkamee, the beloved chef and co-owner of Los Angeles’ notable Thai restaurant, Jitlada who was passed last October.
With the Spring/Summer Food festival event season off to a kickstart it’s no surprise we found ourselves at this years 2018 “Masters of Taste”, “Eat More Give More” tasting event at The Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena eating our way through Los Angeles’ new wave of seasoned restaurant offerings to Angelos sprinkled across the great city of Angels.
On Tuesday, May 1, 2018, the LA Food Bowl, LA’s largest premiere food extravaganza, kicked off at the famous Wiltern theatre. The celebrity chef’s in attendance were Jose Andres, Nyesha Arrington, Susan Feniger, Tim Kilcoyne, and Ray Garcia. The Hollywood starlet of the night was actress Zooey Deschanel.
Before their talk on food awareness, sustainability, and lessening one’s carbon footprint, Viva LA Foodies and the Restaurant Fiction podcast asked them a few food related non sequitur questions to get them warmed up.
The LA Food Bowl Launch Party was filled with LA’s Culinary Industry Celebs and social media influencers commingling with regular fans of LA’s diverse dining scene from street food to soul food to fine dining and there was literally something for everyone to nosh on.
The Food Bowl is back. People dressed to the nines at 10:30 in the morning on a Tuesday to attend the kick off party. The raw energy filled with eager anticipation reminded me of a large crowd awaiting Bruno Mars to take the stage at one of his concerts. The event was held at Otium, a posh place next to The Broad in DTLA. The stars of the event were CEO and publish of the LA Times, Ross Levinsohn, and their award-winning food critic, Jonathan Gold. Chef Wes Avilla of Guerilla Tacos served his cauliflower tacos, a subtle preview of what to be expected at this years 31 day event: a food festival that puts all other food festivals to shame.
ChefDance, a private VIP dinner series “Pop-Up,” began in 2004 at Sundance Film Festival by Mimi Kim, a finance investor from Los Angeles with an extensive and impressive resume. Her aspiration was to combine the creativity and talent of the films with unique chefs and menus to complement the Sundance experience.
Boomtown is a large and in-charge brewing facility and event center in what seems to be a soon-to-be gentrified part of DTLA neighboring the 101 freeway and Los Angeles River. Different portraits of Ziggy Stardust greet you as well as paintings of sexy women in see-through clothing. Inside, the custom artwork continues with a behemoth gold owl mural. Community tables sit adjacent from the bar pouring beers with some of the most creative titles ever put on lagers, ales, and Goses.
Luckily, Viva LA Foodies, will be covering Boomtown Brewery’s first ever Beer and Cheese pairing on Wednesday, August 2 that is not only going to school us and our knowledge, but provide an opportunity for all of Los Angeles to see how they are the ultimate couple.
