Jiro Dreams of Sushi

The documentary about the 86 year old sushi chef, whose restaurant is rated with 3 Michelin stars, is finally available on Netflix!!!  It’s well worth a watch – sushi making is such an art!   The documentary also covers a lot about the traditions and Japanese culture.

I love food events, especially those that contribute toward a good cause.  On my recent trip to Chicago, I found a Travelzoo deal for the celebrity chef ball — $99 as opposed to the regular price of $125.  It’s a once-a-year event in Chicago which draws tons of great chefs, with even more foodies.  All of the proceeds benefit the Meals on Wheels program, which provide home-delivered meals to people in need.  This year’s event was held at the Macy’s on State Street, occupying all of the 9th floor, with 85 chefs.  Yes, 85 chefs!!!  I wish we have this kind of event in LA!  The chefs, all eager to showcase their specialties, bring lots of creative dishes and they don’t skimp on the ingredients either.  Each chef is stationed at a table and presents 1-2 dishes.   You can personally meet all of the chefs, while trying out their creations.  Everything is self-serve, which means, if you really like a dish, you can go back for seconds.  Portions are hor dourves-sized.

Best part about this event, besides the food, is that they provide you with a booklet which contain biographies of all of the chefs, along with their various recipes.  :)

 

Lots of people all around!  The event is cocktail-dress formal.

 

I think this was a meat ball with deviled egg on a stick — didn’t get to try since I was already full at this point!

 

Kurobuta pork with scallop.  Yum!

 

Even lobster made its way into the appetizer/salad section – from the Michael Jordan Steakhouse.  I didn’t even know MJ has his own restaurant!

 

After eating the various dishes, then I found out there was another whole section full of DESSERTS!  Pear sorbet on a waffle cone.  I think this was from Black Dog Gelato.  So good!

First of all, I’d like to thank all of my fans.  ;)   Without your support, I probably wouldn’t have had the motivation to start a food blog.  I’m really glad you guys appreciate and enjoy all of my food pictures!

Since many of you know that I have a passion for great food, I thought this would be a good forum for me to share good restaurants and recipes.  Those of you who are not in LA or are out-of-the-US, you can note all of the foods/restaurants that you’d like to try, and I’ll be sure to take you when you come visit.  ^ ^

Hope you guys enjoy reading this blog.  Any recommendations and suggestions are more than welcome.

Happy eating!
