Preview Masters of Taste 2017 - Pasadena
I don't always get invited to the Rose Bowl
for events other than football and soccer,
but tonight it's a different kind of event.
Tonight is the preview of the 2nd Annual
a luxury food and beverage festival
which takes place on the field of the
Rose Bowl on
Sunday, May 7th, 2017.
A 100% of the proceeds
supports Union Station Homeless Services.
Working to end homelessness in our community.

from (soon-to-be-open) Mama Lion
Supper Club in Koreatown.
Chef Michael Hung created this,
what I'm calling "uni nacho"
it was delicious.

Chef Erwin created this dish

This was one of my favorites of the evening
