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
The opening night event, “Changing the World Through the Power of Food,”
will honor chef and humanitarian José Andrés, who has been on the ground
organizing relief efforts following the wildfires in California and Hurricane
Maria in Puerto Rico. We’ve also partnered with L.A. Kitchen, Food Forward

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.

candidate has delicious food – that's a given – but also a sense of
purpose, a place within its community, and the ability to drive the
conversation forward, not just in Los Angeles but around the world. Its
chefs should honor diversity, but not at the expense of focus; health, but
not at the expense of flavor; and sustainability, but not at the expense
of complexity." Last year's Restaurant of the Year, Roy Choi and Daniel
Patterson's Locol, was, Gold said, "inevitable." The Restaurant of the
Year Award will be announced at this year's Launch Party.

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.

DIANA KENNEDY
& FRIENDS
Diana Kennedy has been called the "grande dame of Mexican cooking", thanks to her decades-long
mission to introduce authentic Mexican food to the United States during her long, influential career.
She has written several cookbooks and has received two James Beard Awards and the Order of the
Aztec Eagle, the highest award given to foreigners for service to Mexico. Her book "Nothing Fancy,"
the closest she has come to publishing a memoir, was reissued in 2016. It chronicles her decades
in Mexico and includes recipes and a plea for sustainability. Now she is the focus of a documentary,
"Nothing Fancy: Diana Kennedy," which is scheduled for release this year.
Gabriela Cámara first earned worldwide attention for her Mexico City restaurants MeroToro and
Contramar, which continues to attract crowds and famous chefs and accolades from culinary
stars such as Alice Waters and Diana Kennedy. Cámara switched gears in 2015 and opened a San
Francisco restaurant that she christened Cala, with a kitchen that is helping to redefine Mexican
food in the Bay Area.

SATOYAMA
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.
NARISAWA SATOYAMA EXHIBITION

LOS ANGELES TIMES | www.latimes.com •
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

TO TUI SUNGKAMEE
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,
Sarintip "Jazz" Singsanong, specialized in southern Thai dishes that attracted crowds and chefs from across the country. (Jitlada was always included in
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."
