Top Ten Ethnic LFE Ethnic Ambassadors in FLAVOR OF LA on May 20

(Gerry Furth-Sides) Seven of our favorites are among the gourmet food samplings from LA’s best restaurants, craft beers, wine, cocktails and an awesome car show from The Television Motion Picture Car Club. //flavorofla.com.

The event takes place on the historic CBS Studio Center back lot, studio home to hits from Gunsmoke and Gilligan’s Island to Seinfeld and Will and Grace.

Admission ($75)  includes all food and drink, and free parking with an easy walk from the parking lot to the guest-friendly park-like venue.  A portion of all ticket sales benefit charitable partner this year – L.A. Kitchen.  L.A. Kitchen believes that neither food nor people should ever go to waste. By reclaiming healthy, local food that would otherwise be discarded, training men and women who are unemployed for jobs, and providing healthy meals to fellow citizens, L.A. Kitchen empowers, nourishes, and engages the community.

Chef Aaron Robbins, SOCA and Boneyard Bistro, has long championed the spiffy, relaxed Studio City we also love.  Here is a chance to experience why.  Scroll down to view the participants and read about our picks.  Yes!  We have three ice cream picks (McConnell’s, Santa Barbara; Salt N’ Straw, Oregon; Wanderlust) so we’re ready to explore more restaurants!  Sun Cafe’s owner-chef made a delicious kale shake (my into to kale as a food) so this is a must-try station.
