We are one week away from the Grand Beastly Ball at the Los Angeles Zoo. This event is said to be the most important fundraiser by the L.A. times and one of the best parties in L.A. by KCBS TV news and I was invited to the preview. Don't worry I was not dinner for the beasts tonight, but I did try some beast inspired bites.
The Ball sounds like a fancy Gala, but guest are invited to dress in safari casual attire as they stroll through the zoo after hours chatting with keepers and observing animal feedings and enjoying the entertainment like dancing and of course the food! So wanna know What's for Dinner? Let me Show You!
