“The Eat Real Festival started in Oakland in 2008 to celebrate food and beverages made with local, sustainable, and healthy ingredients. This weekend, the festival makes its Los Angeles debut with a wide array of deliciousness on offer. Food is available from local food trucks and restaurants, including Coolhaus, Nom Nom, and Global Soul, while several beer and wine gardens provide wine and locally crafted brews from the likes of Eagle Rock Brewery and the Lost Abbey. A panel discussion on "The Future of Food Writing" features several local food bloggers and writers, while learning opportunities abound, include instruction in goat-cheese making, urban beekeeping, and growing food in limited spaces. With no food or drink costing more than $5, it's an easy way to be both educated and indulgent.”
