Looking Back at Food Noir, My Fave 2011 The Taste Event at OrpheumTheatre
The Taste events, put on by LA Times, take place over labor day weekend. Last year's was pretty spectacular with them taking over Rodeo Drive and other locations. My favorite, though, was Food Noir which took place at downtown's Orpheum Theatre and the street in front.
It was my first time visiting the beautiful Orpheum Theatre, and I fell in love:
They played short old films and cartoons. Think Tweety, Bugs Bunny, and more! We were able to just come and go at the theatre, resting from all the eating and drinking.
Not only that, Food Noir also had some of the best cocktail bars participating (even more so than The Taste's Cocktail event!)
The Varnish was carving their ice block on site, Cana Rum Bar with their Tiki-style booth, 320 Main, just to name a few.
Plenty of great food as well, like Rivera's famous corn flan with black quinoa

This might have been my favorite The Taste event of last year as well.
The parmesan wheel contains Drago Centro's sausage with garganelli.
Such a fun event! So sad I missed the corn flan; loved the cocktail selection as well!! :)
