Los Angeles Food & Wine Festival 2017
This past weekend, CBC had the honor of participating in the Los Angeles Food & Wine Festival, during which our immensely talented Executive Chef Cody Dickey distributed a colorful and complex watermelon gazpacho.
While the finished product was both beautiful and delicious, a lot of the fun was on the back end leading up to the event.

Starting with the base of the gazpacho, which was an heirloom tomato medley:

In fact, use the code MALIBU at checkout during the next week to get 20% off your own johnnie-O denim button down (or plaid button down… or prep-formance polo..)
All in all, with the help of our partners, it was an incredible event; worthy of both Instagram and tastebuds.
