February 24: National Pancake Day
It's a real thing and it's TOMORROW! According to the IHOP website, "Pancake Day dates back several centuries to when the English prepped for fasting during Lent. Strict rules prohibited the eating of all dairy products during Lent, so pancakes were made to use up the supply of eggs, milk, butter, and dairy products...hence the name Pancake Tuesday". So from 7-10 a.m. IHOP will be serving free short-stacks to celebrate.
March 29: Drink: Eat: Play Los Angeles' Cupcake Challenge
Southern California's top bakeries serve mini-sized samples of their cupcakes for you to taste and judge who deserves the title of Best Cupcake LA. Competitors include a few of my favorites: Vanilla Bakeshop, SusieCakes, and Buttercake Bakery, plus many many others. Sadly, it's the same day as my race, but I hope at least one of my buddies will go (so I can get a contact yumtown). More info at their website.
April 4th and 5th: Los Angeles Beer Festival
Unlimited four-ounce international and domestic beers, tribute bands and beer-friendly food vendors. Fun, if you're into that kind of thing.
April 5: Spring Tamalada
Master purveyors lead a day of making, cooking, and eating tamales at Mama's Hot Tamales Cafe. The cost is steep, but on the up side, it provides more of an incentive to get a job. Info about this and other groovy Slow Food events can be found on their website.
