The Taste may have just ended in Los Angeles at the Paramount Pictures Studios backlot, but it’s just around the corner at the Orange County MET. If you missed out on the Los Angeles event, then I highly recommend that you check out their sister event in Orange County. Los Angeles Times’ “The Taste” is continuing their event, by hosting two days, and three separate opportunities to sample amazing and delectable culinary treats from some of the best and brightest chefs and restaurants in all of Orange County.
However that isn’t all, as they will be working with dozens of wine, spirits, and breweries to offer something to wet the whistle of their attendees.
