Here I am with Noelle Carter and Russ Parsons on the red carpet at Los Angeles Times The Taste. Noelle and Russ are two of my culinary obsessions idols.
But let’s be pragmatic for a moment.
As you might imagine, I haven’t been out to dinner much in the past year.
Frankly, the forecast for dining at LA’s best restaurants looks a little grim for this year too.
Even if the restaurant has booster seats, dinner hours pretty much coincide with Pajama Time.
So…
Pragmatic: If you go to Los Angeles Times The Taste, it is like going to dozens of LA’s best restaurants all in one night. Or two days and two nights if you know how to party (and get the weekend pass).
Think of the babysitting savings alone.
Not to mention mingling with Noelle and Russ.
You’re welcome.
Here are some flavors to savor from The Taste 2014.
