I was pretty incoherent after a couple hours on Saturday in the sun.
My stomach was ready for the nights marquee event, Flavors of LA.
There was squid but no octopus like the previous night.
And my first choices proved their merit: Bibigo and David LeFevre did not disappoint. Does LeFevre ever?
A food truck, Bibigo is an expanding philosophy, bringing traditional Korean food in a healthy way.
This was so good. Perfectly spiced with fresh ingredients their Bibimba---vegetables over rice topped with a fresh egg or meat--was wonderful
They started late so I had to rush back.
But not before I stopped at Chef LeFevre representing Fishing with Dynamite and Manhattan Beach Post. He brought this wonderful concoction--so multilayered in tastes but just good, down-home tasting as well.
I loved how the egg juice oozed over the shrimp grits. Very fine!
One thing people did not enjoy was the incredibly spicy offering from Jitlada.
People in line next to me were complaining about them.
Thank God for Mr. Chow's tofu noodles to cool our mouths down--they were next door.
And Worldwide Tacos always has outstanding tacos.
I think Lum Ka Naad Thai restaurant got tired--they served up a tasty rice dish Saturday day but this was pretty awful. I did see a whole table enjoy this but my sausage chunk was hard and cold.
The press reps were so helpful to me--especially after I stupidly left my press badge at home and I texted Diana frantically as soon as I got off the subway. I felt really bad especially because I pointed out several fake journalists to her--and unfortunately one still got it under someone else's credentials. Damn that, Rosie Pearsons. She's just a leech of society--and of events.
The Taste coincides with three Fan events--Fan Expo Canada, DragonCon, and Pax West--but they all don't taste as good as The Taste.
