THE TASTE'S "STREET EATS" @ The Studios at Paramount





Our Sunday continued at The Studios at Paramount in Hollywood with the evening event "Street Eats" hosted by Top Chef Master, author, restauranteur and one half of the "To Hot Tamales" Susan Feniger!

The backlot streets of Paramount Studios was the perfect setting to showcase a virtual cornucopia of Street cuisine that is Los Angeles. It's not often that you get to taste and experience the amazing array food trucks in such a close proximity to each other. It was a delicious and fun way to have dinner on Sunday.

Chef Fabio Viviani
In addition the cooking demos were the best! you haven't lived until you have Top Chef favorite Fabio Viviani teach you how to make gnocchi and then throw some at the audience so that we can experience the consistency of the gnocchi first hand! Fabio's wit and joie de vivre are only matched by his enjoyment and passion for teaching. Fabio is a joy to watch in action!

Chef Alex Guarnaschelli
For me there is only one person that can successfully follow Fabio and that person is Food Network's judge on Chopped as well as her own show Alex's Day Off, Alex Guarnaschelli. Chef Alex regaled us with stories about how it feels to be in a studio for 14 hours eating strange food made out of those infamous Chopped baskets, as well as the judges interactions with the contestants while cooking under such strenuous conditions.Alex cooked for us of beautiful dishes with the freshest of ingredients and the simplicity that made us all want to go home and try them!
