Speed Tasting at FIGat7th

Last week I was invited to a Speed Tasting event at FIGat7th downtown. It was the perfect way to celebrate the first day of SPRING!

Speed Tasting at Taste FIGat7th

FIGat7th is a new shopping and dining destination in the heart of downtown Los Angeles. Much of FIGat7th is open-air so you can take advantage of the beautiful Southern California weather and dine alfresco. FIGat7th has a City Target, Zara, H&M and more (with plans to open more stores throughout 2014). Taste is the "food court," if you could even call it that, inside FIGat7th. Taste is a collection of chef-driven, accessible, quick-service casual eateries including City Tavern, Mendocino Farms, The Melt, Juicy Lucy, Loteria Grill, Oleego by Park’s Barbecue, Indus by Saffron, George's Greek Grill, The Flying Pig Café, Sprinkles Cupcakes, The Pizza Studio, Pazzo Gelato, Twist & Grill, New Moon Café, and Gentaro Soba.

FIGat7th also offers seasonal events including a kids' club with arts and crafts, chef demonstrations, and a farmers market every Thursday. You can see the full calendar of events here

 Leeann and I were thrilled when we saw the menu for the event. Just look at all of these things we got to try!

I attempted to take photos of some of the food but let me just say I am NOT a food blogger! Everything was delicious despite my less than stellar photography skills!

    1. I don't think I've ever tasted food from so many different places in one sitting! It was like a 20 course meal!

  5. That is a seriously nice "food court." I'm not a foodie at all, but everything looks so good!
