A fellow foodblogger, Street Gourmet LA, has made it big. You may have seen him recently as a guest judge on Top Chef Masters: Scary Surf & Turf episode. Now he's going to be on screen with Andrew Zimmern, acting as his guide in the Bizarre Foods episode in Baja!
La Guelaguetza on 3014 W. Olympic Blvd will be holding a special viewing party for him on Monday June 14th (hopefully on their new 150" screen?) and will be offering some great $5 special deals.
The $5 specials include chapulines (grasshoppers), Taquitos, Clayudas, and some awesome specialty mezcal and tequila cocktails including the Donaji garnished with crushed agave worm salt and other less adventurous cocktails.
The party starts at 6 PM and the viewing will start at 7 PM. There will also be a special message from Andrew Zimmern via satellite and everyone is invited!

The gift bag, valued at $75, will include:
