#89 - LAWineFest Details and Dishes

I’m always curious about the people that help make a wine, spirits, or food festival happen. As summer approaches, more and more of these events are returning from their pandemic-fueled hibernation. Whatever our new "normal" is, I'm glad that it includes events like these.

LAWineFest is the latest to occur - taking place right across from the Queen Mary in Long Beach, giving both Los Angeles residents and Orange County alike a welcome entry into warm weather, good food, and cold liquids filling their glasses and hearts. I sit down this episode with Chef Victor Juarez, Executive Chef of Fuego at Hotel Maya - partner hotel for the event as well as a food vendor for it - and Amanda Pennington of Shout Public Relations to talk about the relationship between a partner hotel and an event like this, sourcing food for it, and just what dishes to bring to a crowd of hungry wine enthusiasts. 

Enjoy!
