Los Angeles

After weeks of anticipation, Blogger Prom has risen to a climax and is settling into rosy memories of polyester, big wigs, and good eats.  The crew that put this thing together did a great job executing it and the attendees did their part by enjoying every minute.

They’ve blogged about it, Tweeted about it, they’ve agonized-over-what-to-wear about it.  And now, the day dozens of LA bloggers have been waiting for is finally here: Blogger Prom!  This sponsor heavy, invite only party is being billed as the most exclusive blogger  event of the summer.

Foodie entertainment is making its way to the big screen.  If you’re a fan of Food Network, The Travel Channel, and other outlets for food TV, Hollywood producers are betting they can get you to the move from your kitchen to the theater.

On Mother’s Day weekend, BBQ pitmasters from far, wide and around the corner crowded into the parking lot at the Santa Monica Pier for the 2^nd Annual LA BBQ Festival.  Lots of smoke and sizzle were par for the course for two days of sauce slathering and finger licking goodness.

A taco truck serving up Korean BBQ?  YES!  I’m rarely one to pass up a well made kalbi short rib.  And I figured only in my dreams would there be a day when I could have them on a warm tortilla shell.  My dreams came true last night.
