Post-event editorial on Epicurious

Just got this link for a write-up on the epicurious.com blog about the Foodyteria experience at LACE that was designed by Miguel Nelson of Marvimon and Carol Stakenas of LACE. It was tricky to handle the logistics on that...but glad the guests enjoyed it! Will be seeing the Food Dudes again tonight, and looking forward to it.

LACE's TASTE Event Re-cap

The event last Saturday was great - there were about 500 people that showed to support LACE's 28th annual benefit art auction. Soon-to-be-celebrity chefs Jonny and Vinny, the "Food Dudes", showed up with a Food TV crew to spice up the night alongside AMMO catering and Elizabeth and Gloria of the soon-to-be-opened restaurant Resevoir in Silverlake. The final numbers for the amount raised are yet to be announced, but with a single piece from Barbara Kruger going for 3x it's retail value at $15,500, I'm pretty sure the event will be considered a success. Marvimon Productions and Pink Cloud Events worked alongside the LACE staff to ensure that the environment was kept into consideration by incorporating a reduce-reuse-recycle policy whenever possible.

Here are pictures of the installation for the night. You can see that it was quite a different experience than your typical art auction.
