  • TOGETHER WE ARE STRONGER X VIVALAFOODIES

    We have partnered up with the Together We are Stronger campaign curated by local San Pedro Print House and Art Collective CALIMUCHO

  • Uplifting Noodles

    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.

  • A Paradise in Pasadena

    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. 

  • CHEF MICHAEL FIORELLI + OLIVETTA= THE PERFECT MATCH

    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 Best of the ExpoWest 2017

We had a brief yet successful visit to ExpoWest 2017 and look forward to sharing our show favorites with everyone.
