Eater Young Guns Awards

The Awards!

Last night I had to pleasure of going to Eater Young Guns awards which was being held in LACMA's outdoor space (which is an amazing space to host an event... noted!). Young chefs from all around the country were honored for their contribution to the culinary world and are def up-and-comers, future James Beard winners, and probs will end up winning Top Chef. The best part, was that of course we got to much on delicious bites of food and drink amazing cocktails all night long. As you may have guessed... I've been #BreakingVegan all birthday week!

Below are some pics of all the amazing food that I got to sample.

Why yes, a mini strawberry gazpacho anyone?

Buratta cheese, cherry tomato, and a crisp crouton. Eat like a tequila shot. 

Beef lettuce cup with a raspberry collins

Spicy lamb burger heading to to the bun steamer

Caviar in a hollowed out lemon

Octopus with burrata cheese. This was my favorite of the night!

Ceviche! nom nom nom

Beef with roasted beets and strawberries. Great combo!

The best bite of pork belly... ever... I'm serious... ever!!

Chefs setting up their station. Almost couldn't wait to dive in.

The band rocking out all night!

The vibe was super chill and the band played all night long while we got to walk around and pick up little goodies and hear from each of the chefs. This is why I love Los Angeles, because on a Monday night I have the opportunity to wine and dine with 15 of the best young chefs in the country like it's no big deal. 

Cheers,
