7th Annual Los Angeles Food & Wine Festival August 25th-27th, 2017- Preview, Tickets
Just a fabulous weekend with great restaurants/chefs, wines and of course Lexus (the main sponsor of the festival). They provided some beautiful cars including one with led lights flashing the entire time inside Barker Hanger in Santa Monica. My favorite restaurant was Slapfish providing lobster rolls which were out of this world. Both Saturday and Sunday were popular with even more restaurants showing up on Sunday.
