                                           WELCOME
                                           At the Los Angeles Times, we take great pride in providing you with daily
                                           coverage of Southern California’s vast and diverse dining scene, recipes to
                                           enjoy seasonal dishes at home, and reports on the culture and trends that
                                           influence how and what we eat.

                                           We also bring the community together through events, such as the Festival
                                           of Books, The Taste and Jonathan Gold’s 101 Best Restaurants party. With the
                                           second annual Food Bowl, our citywide festival spanning the month of May,
                                           we will celebrate local cuisines and the world’s best chefs, while promoting
                                           hunger relief and sustainable practices.

                                           Across Greater Los Angeles, an estimated 58,000 people are homeless.
                                           Many more members of our community, an estimated 1.4 million, live with
                                           food insecurity. We’re excited to bring together farmers, chefs, advocates
                                           and innovators who are leading the way in the fight against hunger and who
                                           support the ideas and programs that are making a difference.

                                                                                                                                                                                               Jonathan Gold

A NEW KIND OF FOOD FESTIVAL - OFFICIAL PROGRAM - LA Food Bowl
ADVERTISING SUPPLEMENT
                                         AWARD        As part of Food Bowl, May’s monthlong festival of food, dining and sustainability, the Los Angeles Times is presenting the
                                                      second annual Gold Award to chefs Susan Feniger and Mary Sue Milliken. The Gold Award is to be given to a California chef
                                                      annually, with the idea of honoring culinary excellence and expanding the notion of Southern California cooking.
                                                      The award celebrates intelligence, innovation and brilliance as well as sensitivity to aesthetics, culture and the environment.

                                                      It is hard to imagine anyone who has shaped the idea of what a Los Angeles chef might be than this year’s honorees,
                                                      who have worked as partners since their early years of apprenticeship and who have run restaurants together here since
                                                      the early 1980s. At the original City Café on Melrose, Feniger and Milliken turbocharged the idea of a neighborhood
                                                      restaurant, and at their ambitious City Restaurant on La Brea, which served finely realized versions of dishes from a dozen
                                                      countries, they blurred the boundaries between street food and fine dining in ways that some of us are just now beginning
                                                      to appreciate. (Feniger later formalized the blurring at her solo restaurant Street.)

                                                      At Border Grill, they explored regional Mexican cooking a decade before the idea became fashionable. (A lot of people
                                                      who wouldn’t dare admit it at the moment may have first tasted panuchos, tinga, freshly made tortillas and pescado
                                                      Veracruzana at Border Grill.) They wrote five cookbooks together. They were the creators and original hosts of the “Good
                                                      Food’’ show on KCRW. Their long-running series “Too Hot Tamales” may have been the first genuine hit in the pre-Emeril
                                                      days of the Food Network; Feniger and Milliken also starred on “Top Chef Masters.”

                                                      And, not least, they have always been among the most generous of chefs, pouring countless hours and organizing
                                                      countless fundraisers for Share Our Strength, No Kid Hungry, James Beard Foundation, the Los Angeles LGBT Center
                                                      and the Scleroderma Research Foundation, among many others and co-founding organizations like Women Chefs and
                                                      Restaurateurs and Chefs Collaborative.

                                                                                                                                                                                        LOS ANGELES TIMES | www.latimes.com •
                                                      Tacos and tamales, we have learned, can bring the world together. Susan Feniger and
                                                      Mary Sue Milliken have shown us more than a few of the possibilities.

OPENING NIGHT:
JOSÉ ANDRÉS

José Andrés, the Spanish born chef who oversees an expansive restaurant
empire (including the Bazaar in Beverly Hills) and helped launch the small-plates               José Andrés
revolution, has dedicated the last several months to serving meals on a much
larger scale: After Hurricane Maria, he worked with his nonprofit World Central
Kitchen to help serve more than 3.3 million meals in Puerto Rico and distribute
food donations to survivors of Hurricane Harvey in Texas. During the California

                                                                                                                                  LOS ANGELES TIMES | www.latimes.com •
wildfires last fall, Andrés and his team at L.A. Kitchen (where he is board chair
emeritus) prepped more than 1,000 meals a day for people affected by the
disaster, inspiring a series of celebrity chefs to assist in his efforts. Earlier this
year he was named Humanitarian of the Year by the James Beard Foundation.

                                                                                                Zooey Deschanel    Ron Finley

In conjunction with L.A. Kitchen, José Andrés will join L.A. Times restaurant critic Jonathan
Gold and guests Zooey Deschanel, Ron Finley ("The Ron Finley Project"), Robert Egger
(founder, L.A. Kitchen), Nyesha Arrington and Alex Granados (Native Restaurant), Tim
Kilcoyne (Scratch Sandwiches) and others for a conversation on the power of food.

                                                                                                                                  • SUNDAY, APRIL 8, 2018
Some of L.A.'s finest sous chefs will also be featured on stage, with a challenge to prepare
a dish that could be scalable for hundreds of people as part of post-disaster relief efforts.
Participating chefs will be given the opportunity to join the chef relief team of World
Central Kitchen, which was founded by Andrés after the 2010 earthquake in Haiti. Guests
will be served pozole and paella from the José Andrés team.

NARISAWA
Chef Yoshihiro Narisawa is known for his dedication to all things
natural. His mission? "Bring nature to the plate." He seeks out
Japanese ingredients from forests and fields (and uses traditional
and French haute cuisine techniques) to produce dishes ranging from
sea snake broth to Wagyu beef at his Tokyo restaurant, Narisawa,
which is regularly included on the World's 50 Best Restaurants list.
He sometimes calls his cuisine "innovative Satoyama," referencing a
population that lives near forests and oceans in harmony with nature.
His work will be the focus of an exhibit, "Satoyama," the result of a      Yoshiro Narisawa

collaboration with Brazilian photographer Sergio Coimbra.

In his work, Narisawa explores "beneficial gastronomy" —
gastronomy for the body and soul.

The "Satoyama" (sato means a "place where people live," and yama
means "mountain") exhibition focuses on the dishes created by
Yoshihiro Narisawa; on the ingredients the Japanese chef typically
uses in the kitchen of his eponymous restaurant; and on his                Sergio Coimbra
partnership with local farmers and suppliers. The exhibition will be
on display during the month of May at Union Station.

                                        Suthiporn "Tui" Sungkamee was known for elevating Thai cuisine in Los Angeles to new heights. The co-owner of Jitlada restaurant, working with his sister,

                                        Jonathan Gold’s 101 Best Restaurants list.) Sungkamee died last fall, but his influence can be seen in the cooking of a number of local chefs. "The vibrancy
                                        of Sungkamee’s approach to strong southern flavors proved that Thai chefs didn’t have to cook for some imagined non-Thai customer," Gold wrote after
                                        Sungkamee’s death. "They could be just as successful cooking for themselves." Sungkamee's cooking inspired customers to "discover the challenging food of
                                        his native region — to embrace the ideas of regionality, unusual spices and challenging flavors themselves."

BEAST FEAST
                   GWEN BUTCHER SHOP & RESTAURANT
                   Australian-born Curtis Stone opened Maude, his first
                   Los Angeles restaurant, in 2014; its nine courses that
                   featured a star seasonal ingredient and its widely praised
                   meals made reservations in the tiny space hard to come
                   by. Recently, Stone reopened Maude with a new concept,
                   creating tasting menus inspired by wine regions around
                   the world. In 2016, Stone, working his brother Luke,
                   opened another restaurant (and butcher shop), Gwen,
                   which earned another series of rave reviews. The superstar
                   chef has appeared on several TV shows including "Iron
                   Chef America" and has hosted "Top Chef Masters."

                   Chef Curtis Stone and a group of top L.A. chefs (among
                   them Josiah Citrin, Neal Fraser, Steve Samson and Michael
                   Puglisi) will come together for a one-night celebration of
                   all-things meat at Beast Feast 2018. Attendees will sample     Curtis Stone
                   different cuts and preparations of various animal proteins
                   at Gwen, Stone's Hollywood restaurant. The event will also

At Attica, Ben Shewry's prix-fixe restaurant in a suburb of Melbourne, Australia, diners might sample red
kangaroo with truganini; whipped emu egg with quandong; and "pests of the neighborhood." (They've all been
included on the menu.) Shewry, who has devoted years to studying and using indigenous ingredients in his
20-plus course meals, is driven by a desire for his cooking to acknowledge the food traditions of the aboriginal
inhabitants and the immigrants who arrived in the 17th and 18th centuries. That quest for authenticity is a
reason Attica is considered among the best restaurants in the world — and has a great deal to do with Shewry
being featured in the inaugural season of "Chef's Table," the Netflix documentary series exploring the lives and
kitchens of some of the world’s most important chefs. Among his Food Bowl events is a collaboration with chef
Curtis Stone at Gwen.
