Last Saturday, August 1st, at the California Science Center, I attended Project by Project's annual Plate by Plate Food & Wine event. Theses were some of the snapshots - good quality and bad quality (iPhone camera). I hope you enjoy.
Overhead shot from the balcony near the silent auction. The California Science Center is a great venue. The large outdoor and indoor ambience make it great for this event.
I only wish there were more tables for people to eat and drink on. During the early summer evening hours, the natural light comes through. You can't beat the summer evenings in Southern California.
You can see the line in front of Katsuya's table. They had a shabu shabu plate. Their line was the longest. Personally, I don't think the wait was worth it. But I stood in line, since I thought it had to be good. But it was one of the better offerings. Their presentation was great, with the hot water and the boiled vegetables.
Here you can see the reflection pool with the stage. They had some nice performers intermingled with the chatter from the crowd. I was impressed with J-Ricz's vocals.
Here was the program with the wine glass & plate. The program was designed beautifully. Nice color selection and design.
This is a dessert from M Cafe. This was one of the last things I had. Nice to dish to finish the night.
I believe these two were from Roy's Hawaiian Fusion Cuisine. A well thought and carefully prepared sampling. I've been to Roy's and I do think they have a unique menu.
This is bread pudding from Jamaica's Cakes. It looked great with the sauce and the powdered sugar, but I felt that it was hard and difficult to eat.
This was my absolute favorite, from Mendocino Farms. They had two mini sandwiches - a pork on a roll and a BLT interpretation with heirloom vegetables. The BLT was great and tasty. I only wish I went back for seconds.
This was the shabu shabu from Katsuya. This particular table had the most excitement with the long line.
This was the provocative sign they put in front of the Katsuya table.
Xooro presented a yummy churro that was cream filled. I was surprised and considered this to be one of my favorite tastings of the night.
