About FOOD BOWL
In May 2017, the first FOOD BOWL was introduced in Los Angeles to bring together L.A.'s best bars, cafes, chefs, markets, and restaurants. Chefs from around the world including Massimo Bottura, Nancy Silverton, and Fergus Henderson converged in L.A. with the mission of bringing their diverse areas of expertise to L.A.'s growing food and beverage scene.
After its huge success, FOOD BOWL is back in L.A. this May with over 200 events, as well as local and international chef collaborations. A few highly anticipated international guests for the 2018 L.A. Food Bowl include Gabriela Cámara from Mexico City, New Zealand's Monique Fiso, and José Andrés.
