Lunch Hour Movie
premiers at Palm Beach Film Festival
Wednesday, April 18
 


Lunch Hour examines America’s national school lunch program which exposes children to unhealthy, but culturally acceptable foods at a young age.
Anyone who has children need to see this documentary, see the trailer, see the clips and get more information on how to get involved, click here. Join their Facebook page, twitter for latest updates.
This is such an important topic and I hope to get more involved this year. I’ve been invited to teach classes for parents and kids at Cooking with Kids, a school my friend Maria Cummins opened to educate kids and at the same time make cooking fun and healthy.
 

 

Gibson Miami host Benefit

Gibson Show Benefit for the Cindy Kidney Fund 
$10 cover…all you can drink
This Saturday, March 10th
Doors open 8pm…show starts 9pm
showcasing Rock ‘n’ Roll sensation, Poetic Justice with Brad Berman
during Wynwood Art Walk

Go for a good cause, rock n’roll music, all you can drink and fantastic chance to get inside Gibson showroom! It’s not normally open to the general public.  Gibson’s new showroom is opposite the Cynergi Building in Wynwood. Brad Berman, their project coordinator has such a big heart, his band will be playing to raise funds for a kidney transplant for friend, Cindy.  Gibson will be hosting some future Wok Star events there, so stay tuned (got the pun?)

Go a bit earlier to view some incredible wall murals outside.

See signed guitars by celebrities, tour recording rooms, view some LeBo art and hang out.

Here’s the plan, go early to Wynwood, see some art, stop for some nosh at food trucks in Wynwood.  Some other nosh ideas:

– Sakaya Kitchen for anything in a bao, it’s fast, all good! 
(my go to modern Asian that never disappoints!  My suggestions here and here, enjoy!)
– Gigi’s for some noodle dish 
(here’s a very early post, since then I’ve had a few quite delicious noodle dishes & I heard their duck fried rice is delish! Another foodie friend @frodnesor take on Gigi!)
– Lost and Found Saloon for fabulous burrito
(my new twitter/blogger friend @fatgirlhedonist said all the things I would have said about their food & saloon.) 
– Jimmy Z’s Kitchen right opposite Gibson
(not eaten there but heard healthy, good. Here’s my foodie friend @foodalogue, Joan’s post which makes me want to go NOW!  Joan also reflects my same philosophy about not not using recipes or measuring, I love her writing and her experiments are creative and thought provoking, check her blog!)

Then hop over to Gibson for the all night rock n’ roll with Poetic Justice!  See you there…
