FoundChris You found me!

I follow @TheDelicious along with many other LA food-types.  I live in LA and like food; it’s what I do.

One afternoon, I happen to see a tweet from her mentioning a ticket give-away to a Jonathan Gold and linking to this blog post.  So I followed the directions and tweeted, and forgot about it.  Then I got a DM from Sarah (TheDelicious) linking to this post, which I correctly presumed would be announcing the winner.  I hadn’t presumed I’d won the contest though, and I did!  This has to be one of the first contests I’d ever won, and it was a good one to win if you live in LA and like food.  Details of the party can be found on the Zocalo Public Square site, but in summary:  Some of LA’s top restaurants and bars provide finger foods and creative libations, while you listen to soothing latin music, enjoy a panel discussion featuring Jonathan Gold and several key players in LA’s restaurant/bar scene.  All of this is $500 value that is helping raise funds for Zocalo.  Awesome right?

The night was excellent and I’ll simply share some pictures rather than write much of the experience.  I will mention my favorite dish both for flavor and for originality:  Bacon-wrapped Matzo Balls with Horseradish aioli, courtesy of “The Gorbals.”

And now, the photos:
