Luckyrice was founded by Danielle Chan, a former CEO of Vivienne Tam and Professor of Contemporary Art History who now has a profound love for culinary arts and Asian culture. With her team, they managed to captivate Asian food and culture by bringing large feasts and food events across the nation (USA that is).
Luckyrice's Los Angeles Feast was a feast for the palate. The food event celebrated Asian cuisine at its finest from up-and-coming chefs in the Los Angeles area. Asian-inspired cocktails were flowing and chefs were dishing out food to the hungry Luckyrice guests.

Held at Create Nightclub on Hollywood Blvd, the event was presented by Bombay Sapphire East and was magnificent. Upon entering, you are greeted with a cocktail to get your palate started: a wonderfully refreshing and smooth drink perfect for the hot summer months. Inside the club, the backdrop was lively, sophisticated and doused with the lucky color of red. The host was none other than Andy Ricker, James Beard award winning chef and owner of Pok Pok restaurants. Past hosts of Luckyrice's other events have included Daniel Boulud, David Chang, Jose Andres and Sang Yoon (so they definitely know their food).

There were a plethora of dishes and it was so difficult to decide amongst the best of the best. Here are a few of my favorite dishes:
Overall, Luckyrice's LA Feast is a wonderfully constructed event to truly appreciate what Asian cuisine is all about. Chefs from all over Los Angeles managed to bring their A-game and open up our palates to robust flavors. It was a truly magnificent celebratory night and one for the books. Thank you to Luckyrice for allowing me to partake in this wonderful event and enabling my readers to be a part of it as well in the giveaway on my blog. I'm looking forward to next year's LA Feast to see if they are able to top 2015.
And its not a full night until you meet the host, Andy Ricker |
