Over Labor Day weekend, the Los Angeles Times and Food & Wine magazine held the The Taste. The four day event featured celebrity chefs, cooking demonstrations, presentations, and of course a ton of delicious food and wine. Though I had a pass to attend all of the events, I was only able to make it to Street Eats due to some personal obligations that weekend. It was a fun afternoon which ended with a freak rainstorm and a brilliant rainbow. Here are some of the highlights.
Mini flans and bacon bread pudding from Creme Caramel. That bread pudding is to die for. The perfect mix of sweet and salty.
Crying Tiger pork from Jitlada. I never get tired of this dish. In fact, I just had the beef version again this past weekend.
Pineapple and Prickly Pear Agua Fresca from Loteria Grill. So refreshing on the warm afternoon.
Braised Beef with Potato and Egg from Mexikosher. Yes, kosher Mexican food.
Wine tasting co-hosted by Justin Warner who treated us to a full-fleged rap about wine at the end. Highly entertaining.
Lamb Flatbread with sumac, pistachio, and coriander from Palate Food + Wine. My favorite bite of the day. It was a little difficult to eat, but full of warm spicy flavors with a little bit of cooling from the yogurt.
We got out of there just as it started to rain, but later I got to see this.
I had a great time that day. I would have loved to go to some of the other events, but duty called. Next time!

So many good eats and I love the rainbow photo!
It has to be a good day when it ends with a rainbow! (It's been way too long since we've seen any around here.) The flan and bread pudding look fantastic. Wish I could have a taste.
Thank you so much for the mention. :) We're really happy that everyone loved the little crème caramels. Take care and hope to see you again soon.
