Enjoy Baja’s flavors at Sabor de Baja

The 4th annual Sabor de Baja takes place Wednesday, August 31 from 6 to 10pm in the oceanfront gardens of the venerable Rosarito Beach Hotel. It’s brought to us by the fine folks at Mi Casa Supper Club in San Antonio del Mar, Chef Bo and husband Dennis. Billed as a friendly culinary competition among Baja’s top chefs, Sabor is unique: each dish is paired with wine from Valle de Guadalupe or one of Baja’s unique craft beers. Two awards will be presented that evening: one by a panel of distinguished celebrity judges, and the other, a people’s choice award. Warning: if you’re attending this event, you must wear white! We’re really excited to attend (it’s our first time, and it looks so casually elegant) and we plan to interview the judges and chefs before the event, so stay tuned! Check out Sabor’s Facebook page for updates on participating chefs; tix are available at locations in Rosarito and via PayPal at Sabordebaja@gmail.com, but Sabor sold out last year, so we recommend you get your tix now!

¡Latin Food Fest! this weekend

We’re looking forward to the 4th Annual Latin Food Fest this weekend! Although the Friday Chef’s Night Out Kickoff Party and Monday’s Latin Caribbean Supper Club events are sold out, tix are still available for the Grande Tasting this Saturday (21+) & Sunday (All Ages).

Embarcadero Marina Park North is the new venue for both days. We love the fact that it’s all-inclusive; once you’re in, all your tastes/samples are free, and promoters tout 100 food, wine and spirits tasting stations. The cooking demos are fun, and have you ever been to a Michelada contest? Can’t wait to see who wins! Music will be provided by Cuba’s Amistad Cubana.

Participating chefs include Martin San Roman of Valle de Guadalupe’s La Terrasse San Roman & San Diego’s Dobson’s; Jaime Chavez of Little Italy’s Sirena; Claudia Sandoval, winner of Master Chef Season 6; and Sandra Vazquez of Tijuana’s La Mestiza. We also want to check out Martin Omar, a strong advocate of Dominican cuisine, and Felipe Raul, who incorporates Puerto Rican influences into his dishes.

You can get tickets by clicking here. Hope to see you at the ¡Latin Food Fest! this weekend!
