And again, with so many great dining options comes plenty of food festivals throughout the area showcasing restaurants’ specialties. However, Masters Of Taste is determined to be more than just another food festival. It is setting the stage to be LA’s next luxury food affair. Don’t expect to see your favorite chains, because this event will be showcasing the city’s finest.
