FilAm ARTS is equal parts excited and proud to announce renowned chef Andre Guerrero as host, and his popular acclaimed restaurant, The Oinkster as host venue for our "Taste of FPAC" Filipino foodie event Thursday, Sept. 9 @ 2005 Colorado Blvd., Eagle Rock.
Doors open @ 6 p.m.
The event, which benefits and kicks-off the 19th Annual Festival of Philippine Arts and Culture, uniquely pairs two leading elements of the contemporary Filipino American food movement, in an historic evening spotlighting two distinct takes on comfort food -- with a Pinoy twist -- made in Los Angeles.
The Oinkster, lauded by and featured on Food Network and named one of "Los Angeles' 99 Top Restaurants" by Pulitzer Prize-winning critic Jonathan Gold, has been called the leading practitioner of "slow cooked fast food.” It represents the latest in a long line of successful, critically-acclaimed restaurant concepts from the multiple award-winning Guerrero, hailed by Los Angeles Times Magazine as one of the City's Top Chefs.
Chef Guerrero promises a special sample menu featuring some exclusive, off-menu items, but will certainly include his house smoked and cured Pastrami, Belgian French Fries (named "Best in LA" by LA Weekly) and the famous Oinkster Ube Milkshakes.
That alone would be enough to make mouths water, but the evening also presents a specially selected tasting menu prepared by The Manila Machine, Southern California’s first Filipino food truck and already a popular draw in the competitive world of mobile food culture.
Limited tickets for FilAm ARTS' "Taste of FPAC" are $50 which is inclusive of food and non-alcoholic drinks for the evening.
Proceeds benefit The Association for the Advancement of Filipino American Arts and Culture, also known as FilAm ARTS, a multi-disciplinary community arts organization whose mission is to advance the understanding of the arts and diverse cultural heritage of Filipinos in the United States. FilAm ARTS presents the annual Festival of Philippine Arts & Culture (FPAC). The largest showcase of its kind in Southern California, the 19th Annual FPAC takes place this year September 11-12, 2010 in San Pedro, California.
