Truly a bucket list affair, (M)EAT CARNIVAL encourages diners to focus on the food without the distraction of servers, napkins, tableware-or even tables! Fingers will get messy while tasting the culinary line-up of more than 20 dishes on a menu that includes meat, seafood, fresh produce, La Brea Bakery breads, and more.

“We smoke and grill La Brea Bakery’s artisan breads to accompany many of the dishes presented at the CARNIVAL,” said Abromovitch, owner of Blossom Catering, and ringmaster of the (M)EAT CARNIVAL. “The breads are the perfect foundation for our house-made “faux gras,” shakshuka, sabiches, and other flavorful dishes.”

Distinctly different

Each of the monthly (M)EAT CARNIVAL pop-up events will be distinctly different, as a team of 20 chefs showcase their interpretation of Mediterranean-American cuisine cooked over a live fire. Tickets include not only an abundance of samplings, but also an open wine bar and live musical entertainment.

“The Chefs have brought so much ingenuity and creativity to this event, it’s unbelievable. They have created the most unexpected and unique ways of delighting adventurous and curious food lovers.”

Part workshop, part cooking demonstration, and a whole lot of eating, (M)EAT CARNIVAL delivers an unforgetting experience. The 2024 series will stay in residence in the Napa-American Canyon region, with monthly “pop-up” events running from March through October.
