This past Sunday, a new premier food festival made its debut. Masters Of Taste proved that when it comes to luxury food festivals it means business. With so many chain restaurants on every street corner of the city, the festival provided an oasis of LA’s finest. A delicious oasis, if I may add.
Masters Of Taste took place at the Rose Bowl. Not just at the iconic stadium though, literally on the actual field. The perfect stage for the elite festival.
The festival brought L.A.’s Top Master Tastemakers together for one afternoon to celebrate all realms of taste. Approximately 2,000 influential food and beverage enthusiasts from throughout the Greater Los Angeles area attended this exciting festival. This year’s Masters of Taste included the finest fare from L.A.’s top Culinary Masters and restaurants, an array of delectable sweets prepared by L.A.’s most notable Sweet Masters, signature handcrafted cocktails and tastings from over 25 Beverage Masters which included bartenders from top cocktail bars, wineries, local craft breweries, pressed juices, hand roasted coffee; plus lifestyle activations, live entertainment and much more!
