Congrats to @_jenalee for winning the two general admission tickets I gave away on my blog! These giveaways are always so much fun (and hard work!) and I’m always glad to offer something to you darling crackheads. So if you didn’t win this time, don’t fret, there will be more giveaways in the future I’m sure!
And if you would still like to go to LA Times’ Celebration of Food and Wine you can buy discounted tickets through Goldstar where it’s $20-$75 versus the regular price of $40-$125!
Just got the heads-up about this from Goldstar: discounts off a couple of the hottest food festival tickets! Only problem? They’re both for the same day, Sunday, September 5! Oh, the humanity! So to help you decide, here’s a quick breakdown of each event’s discount offer.
Food & Wine’s Taste of Beverly Hills’ Art of the Brunch
Tickets: $62.50 (regular $125). Sunday 10am-3pm. Behind the Beverly Hilton Hotel, 9900 Wilshire Boulevard, Beverly Hills (map).
Los Angeles Times’ Celebration of Food and Wine
Tickets: $20-$75, not including fees (regular $40-$125). Sunday 12-8pm. Paramount Studios, 5555 Melrose Avenue, Los Angeles (map).
So which is it going to be? ToBH or LATCFW? Speaking of which, you still have til 3pm today to get your entries in for a chance to win tickets to the LA Times’ event.
CONTEST CLOSED
Forget the beach bbqs during Labor Day Weekend, people, you’re going to want to save your appetite for the good stuff: the LA Times‘ first food fest, Los Angeles Times Celebration of Food & Wine, is all day Sunday, September 5, at Paramount Pictures Studio Backlot in Hollywood.
It’s going to be a potpourri of foodie goings-on and I’ve got the exclusive on some of the specifics! (I’ve always wanted to say that.)
The much talked about Food Network California Lounge will be surrounded by “The Great Food Truck Race‘s” food trucks like Nom Nom Truck, Nana Queens and Crepes Bonaparte. How convenient!
Of course you’ll get to sip and nibble as there will be over 100 food and beverage exhibitors. And after the demos, there will even be a concert featuring indie duo She & Him. Man, what a lovely and exhausting eight hours it’s going to be!
Tickets: General admission tickets ($55 advance, $65 door) give you access to eight tastings, the panel discussions and demos, the Food Network lounge, the concert and the food trucks (you have to pay for the additional food from the trucks). VIP tickets ($125 advance, $135 door) get you all that plus unlimited samplings of the food and drinks and access to the VIP tasting area!
OK, so who wants two free general admission tickets (value: $110) to LA Times Celebration of Food & Wine food festival on Labor Day Weekend? You do, you say?
Well, for your chance at the tickets all you have to do is the following:
**You have to do all of the above for your contest submission to be valid.**
Contest ends next Wednesday the 25th at 3pm PST. I’ll then plug the entries into the Randomizer, pick a winner and notify them the next morning on the 26th. If I don’t hear back from the winner by 10am I’ll pick another name, so make sure to keep an eye on your inboxes! The winner will then be announced at noon that Thursday.
Good luck, all!
