Philippe the Original will dazzle Angelinos during the Los Angles Food & Wine Fest’s Grand Tasting at the Barker Hanger in Santa Monica, a unique daytime event featuring 25 celebrity chefs (including Philippe’s) and over 200 wines.
On Saturday, Aug. 27 beginning at 11 a.m. in the historic hangar in Santa Monica, Philippe’s will serve over 1,000 attendees with bite-size samples of a few menu items, with a twist or two to match the theme of the show.
Philippe’s is one of, if not the most unique participant. Amongst a line-up of celebrity chefs, the historic deli is not led by one executive chef but a team of chefs and cooks who ensure every bite of a Philippe’s French Dip is consistent and flavorful.
The restaurant’s history and longevity make it even more unique and recognized by so many in SoCal and beyond.
Last year Philippe’s sampled Lamb Dip Crostini; slow roasted leg of lamb – the same lamb guests enjoy on a Lamb Dip Sandwich – on a blue cheese crostini served with hot mustard and au jus during the Ultimate Bites event.
This is Philippe’s second year participating in the Food & Wine Fest. Tickets are still available online for the Grand Tasting event and all festival events planned through the weekend.
