A month from today will be the new and improved Street Food Fest at the Pasadena Rose Bowl. The last highly anticipated street food fest this past Feburary brought together thousands of people to the event and was a bit chatotic, but this one will be different and give everyone who buys a pre-sale ticket an opportunity to experience an array of food samples, drinks and music. This will be a great chance to try all the hot food trucks, street carts and other chef caterers that are getting buzz in L.A right now.
“Enjoy sampling signature bites from more than 60 vendors including hot gourmet food trucks, old school carts and stands, celeb chefs and street inspired dishes from LA’s best restaurants. Our open bars and beer gardens will keep you hydrated ‘n happy with cold suds, delicious cocktails, tequila tasting, juices and more. To top it off, you’ll rock out with our summer concert from two of LA’s hottest new bands, all on the grassy green field of the Rose Bowl for one affordable, all-inclusive ticket price benefiting St Vincent Meals on Wheels & Woolly School Gardens!”
One of our favorite Rhymesayers artist P.O.S has been featured on a new episode of Infatuation T.V brought to you by the fellas of Immaculate Infatuation, a NYC dinning website which brings food and music together in a unique way.
A couple months ago while I was in Chicago, I remembered seeing a twitter post about a doughnut gathering coming soon in L.A. Before I got too excited I checked the date and realized that I would be back in L.A for it and continued to be excited by such an event. I knew I had to go! Well time flew and the Donut Summit took place this past weekend. I was suppose to go to the Rose Bowl flea market Sunday morning, so I got ready and put on my Mister Donut shirt, not knowing it was donut day till a few minutes later while checking twitter, I was reminded that it was that day. I ditched the flea market and picked up some donuts from a local donut shop I frequent in Alhambra, King’s Donuts. *side note: (I’ve never even had their donuts, I go there solely for the cream puffs, they are my all time favorite.) Off to Griffith Park it was , the festivities were to start at 1pm.
The Gastronomer posted the menu for the Eat My Blog Bake Sale happening this Saturday, June 19th at Tender Greens in West Hollywood from 10am- 4pm. This is the second Eat My Blog bake sale ,which is a contribution of bake goods from many L.A food bloggers. This event raises money for The Los Angeles Regional Food Bank. If you are in the L.A area make sure you go and support the cause, while eating large amounts of delicious sweets baked from well known bloggers and chefs. The prices will range from $1 to $4 and make sure to bring cash.I also heard that Chef Ludo will be baking a cake for the event. I can’t wait! If anyone wants to tag along with me early, let me know!
Little Sweeties Cupcakes has put me in awe once again with these awesome Mayer Hawthorne cupcakes for the Mayer himself. Red velvet cupcakes decorated with fondant Mayer Hawthorne glasses, bow tie, heart shaped vinyl from his single “Just Ain’t Gonna Work Out” and a record. I know he had to love these when he received them.
I spend waaay too much time in the cereal aisle at the grocery store so there was no way this novelty was getting past me. By the way, Honey Nut Cheerios is the BEST cereal of all time. Anyway, with my love for cupcakes and cereal I couldn’t resist picking up this Cupcake Pebbles mash up. I went home super excited to try my discovery and as soon as I opened the box my nose was attacked with the sweet stench of sugar. As if you couldn’t guess, this cereal is SUPER sweet. It’s like sugar on steroids. I assumed it would just have a sugary taste but to my surprise it actually tastes like Funfetti Cake. It got soggy way too fast and that’s a huge pet peeve for me when it comes to cereal. I knew a second bowl was not in my future. Being that I will do everything possible not to waste food I knew I needed an alternative to just adding milk. So what do you do to something that is too sweet? Make it sweeter of course! I give you Cupcake Rice Krispie Treats.
