Reasons: day drinking, s...Event: The Art of Brunch<br /><br />Reasons: day drinking, summer is finally in LA, and my undying love for food! (but any event would've satified this soon to be birthday girl!)<br /><br />It started almost 7 years ago on my 21st birthday, when I was able to pair wine with my food. I was amazed at how much my meal complemented the wine and vice versa. Who knew that food is art and science -- and so much more!? <br /><br />Well September 8th is my birthday and I've been eyeing this event for the past few months. After a little debate, I decided that I really cannot afford to splurge this time. I thought it was time to let go. But after seeing your post, I knew I had to enter to give it one last try! A little hope! And it could end up being the best birthday surprise ever!<br /><br />So please choose me Kevin! I am so excited to go to a tasting event! <br /><br />Alexandra<br />foreign.phile@gmail.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8667271330300336985.post-682101767334596962010-08-30T18:41:17.325-07:002010-08-30T18:41:17.325-07:00My dearest Mr. Eats,

As strange as this may sound, a lot of the "bonding time" I spend with Mom is watching food competitions, like Ted Allen's Chopped or Iron Chef. The rest of our tastebud-challenged family snickers at us as we ride an emotional rollercoaster during the judging periods, shouting the occasional vile oath when we feel someone undeserving takes the 1st. We might even be classified as "Foodie Hooligans". This would definitely make it a bday to remember for her.<br /><br />Foodie fests aside, love the website and am eternally jealous of your multiple visits to the House of Hiro-san over there off of Rodeo. I believe it was your 2nd review that inspired me to take the plunge and though I'm still paying off the 2nd mortgage I had to take out to fund it, I'll remember the taste of that uni chawanmushi forever. Thanks allowing me to live vicariously through your reviews.<br /><br />- Jeff (jstandard@gmail.com)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05963296453627728925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8667271330300336985.post-74586650631134181982010-08-30T18:30:08.431-07:002010-08-30T18:30:08.431-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.mlle_alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09971185488184615863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8667271330300336985.post-9435792423608945202010-08-30T15:41:08.918-07:002010-08-30T15:41:08.918-07:00Bazaar AND Bastide?

We had a great night. I convinced her to move out here earlier this year and we constantly argue about which city has better food. The Taste of Beverly Hills would be the perfect way to show her some of the best that LA has to offer all in one night. While I would usually jump at the chance to go to an event like this the price makes it difficult for someone like me who hasn’t been gainfully employed since 2008. I was born and raised in LA, spent a few years in NY with my wife and finally got her to move to LA. I don’t want to get dragged back to NY because I am too broke too treat her to a good meal. Tickets to the Celebration event on Thursday night could be the key to my longevity in this great city. <br /><br />In anticipation,<br /><br />Ryan<br />cream1024@aol.comRyannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8667271330300336985.post-38745029588426342422010-08-30T14:06:43.874-07:002010-08-30T14:06:43.874-07:00I think Date Night would be a blast - my girlfrien...I think Date Night would be a blast - my girlfriend and I dined at several of the participating restaurants when we were first dating so it'd be really fun to revisit them.<br /><br />-Mike<br />mikeg0922 at gmail dot comMikenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8667271330300336985.post-5872015599251438182010-08-30T13:59:24.210-07:002010-08-30T13:59:24.210-07:00I'd love to win tickets for the Art of Mixing ...I'd love to win tickets for the Art of Mixing event...not just because I am a lush and love tasting out new creative concoctions but ALSO because this night is filled with so many of the hottest LA restaurants that are on my "bucket list" but that I have still yet to try.

I was going to have a frozen microwave pizza that night, but this sounds much better.<br /><br />The lineup of participating restaurants sounds fantastic and being there on the inaugural night for all the excitement makes this my top choice. Also, Mr. Puck will be there!<br /><br />If I do get a chance to attend Thursday, I will eat boiled, unsalted cabbage and drink distilled water every meal until the event so my taste buds will be hypersensitive. Thanks for the opportunity.<br /><br />Steve<br />wattshealth2010@yahoo.comStevenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8667271330300336985.post-30329773053577847302010-08-30T10:18:25.779-07:002010-08-30T10:18:25.779-07:00Kevin,
Thanks so much for your awesome posts over ...Kevin,<br />Thanks so much for your awesome posts over the years. My husband and I have enjoyed reading and being inspired to try the same places as you.<br />We would love tickets to Secrets from the Kitchen and Cellar for the following reasons...<br />1. I LOVE Ted Allen and have been such a great fan since his Queer Eye days. I think his tips in the kitchen and for home entertaining make a whole lot of sense...and easy to execute, too!<br />2. My husband would love to see Art Smith's upscale Southern cooking. His family's from the South, and he would find Art's views on Southern cooking more than interesting...so interesting that he'd want to hop on a plane to Chicago or DC to sample the food first hand.<br />3. We love cooking competitions! We've never gotten to see on live. How awesome would it be to get to see the LG competition hosted by Tim Love.<br />4. We're fans of booze! We have a fully-stocked bar at home, and we love to experiment (my husband's been drinking something called an alien secretion...try it). I'm sure we'd get tons of inspiration from the participants.<br />5. I'm starting to get into wine and I don't think there would be a better place to get more of an education than at this event....and if you're there, maybe we can get sloshed together!<br />6. We both love The Bazaar, so we're super pysched that they're going to be a participating restaurant. My husband's been dying for a double dipped lamb from Philippe's...we live way out east and don't come to L.A. very much. We've been wanting to try Water Grill, Ford's, Mo Chica, Ortolan, Jitlada, Fig, and Rustic Canyon for a while...and they're all here!<br />Please pick us...we've been on a limited budget since my husband lost his job in April and this would be a great opportunity for us to get out and do something nice.<br />Thanks!<br />Ann<br />attran99@hotmail.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8667271330300336985.post-42627815283577940402010-08-30T10:01:22.617-07:002010-08-30T10:01:22.617-07:00the wife and i would love a pair of tickets for &#...the wife and i would love a pair of tickets for 'date night'. kids are finally back in school, what better way to celebrate than w/ good wine and food! thanks a bunch!<br /><br />alvin<br />alvincabrera (at) cox (dot) netalvinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8667271330300336985.post-29597849086697471942010-08-30T01:37:38.535-07:002010-08-30T01:37:38.535-07:00Hello Kevin!!

I missed her bachelorette party and also want to help her celebrate the long journey she's taken to convert for her fiance. She's looking for a job so can't afford to buy a ticket and feels awkward taking things from anyone so this would mean so much to her since she's a huge foodie!

After following your various adventures with his cooking, I would love to be able to see him, learn how he creates the amazing looking dishes that he does and sample his cuisine.<br /><br />Secondly, Mozza, Melisse, Ortolan, VIX, Church and State, Campanile and Wurstkuche are scheduled to make appearances at this particular event. These are all high on the list of restaurants I would like to try, but have not yet had the chance. <br /><br />Thirdy, I would like more of an education in cocktails and I can't think of a better place to do it.<br /><br />Fourthly, my girlfriend is starting a new job this week and I'm sure will be extremely stressed by the end of the week. This would give her something to look forward to and would be a great way to help her unwind come Friday night.<br /><br />Thanks for providing a great resource to the Los Angeles foodie community over the past few years.<br /><br />Jordan Sandler<br />jordan.sandler01@gmail.comJordan Sandlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05491728365576840430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8667271330300336985.post-85839158267494703002010-08-29T12:41:41.234-07:002010-08-29T12:41:41.234-07:00I'd like to go to the Art of the Brunch for th...I'd like to go to the Art of the Brunch for the sake of my couch potato and food lover boyfriend, whom I dragged up Mt. Whitney yesterday. Not only is it the tallest mountain in the lower 48 states and a grueling 22 mile, 18 hour climb, but he also subsisted on tasteless energy bars, unnaturally fluorescent gel shots, and gallons of chemically enhanced water in the name of true love. He deserves his favorite meal of the day as a reward for being the world’s best boyfriend.<br /><br />xywlok@gmail.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8667271330300336985.post-27365093727042224502010-08-29T12:28:57.454-07:002010-08-29T12:28:57.454-07:00I would love two tickets to 9.02.10 Beverly Hills ...I would love two tickets to 9.02.10 Beverly Hills Celebration Event to give me inspiration for my on campus cafe I run called Cafe Norris at Occidental College.<br /><br />Saul Sutcher<br />sutcher@gmail.comSaul Sutcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14271934800406583664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8667271330300336985.post-81539864668434373962010-08-29T11:05:41.435-07:002010-08-29T11:05:41.435-07:00I would love to go to:
