On the evening of Saturday, August 4th, Project by Project will be hosting its 16th annual tasting benefit, Plate by Plate. PbP is a national 501(c)(3) non-profit centered around issues relating to the Asian-American community. Each year, the group chooses a particular theme to focus on, and partners with a charitable organization in that space. This year's theme is Immigration (very timely), and the partner is the OCA-GLA, a local non-profit that, among other things, runs a Mentored Path to Citizenship program that aids qualified individuals in applying for US citizenship. As always, the tasting will showcase the talents of some of LA's top restaurants, as well as beverages from a variety of leading purveyors. After two successful events at the California Science Center in 2016 and 2017, this year's benefit will be held at the new City Market Social House in the Fashion District. To get an idea of what Plate by Plate is like, be sure to check out my report from last year's event. Here's a list of who's coming so far (subject to change, of course):
Tickets are currently on sale. However, I'm also giving away *eight* tickets this year, the most ever: two VIP (normally $250 each) and six General Admission ($150). Tickets will be given away individually in order to spread the love around (my two favorite responses will receive the VIP tix). To win, here's what needs to go down:
