September's events were less eventful but I am happy I got to focus on more of the product photography type shots when I was at home or out and about! I'll be updating my portfolio soon!
1. Plan Check and Mulholland Distilling (Los Angeles, CA)
Plan Check Kitchen & Bar was having a #MadeinLA cocktail series, where they collaborated with a different distillery each month throughout the summer. We were invited for their launch party featuring Mulholland Whiskey. We got the Manhattan with Mulholland Whiskey, Bavarian Pretzel, Pimento Cheese Dip, and Dynamite Crab Dip.
2. Popping Yolk Cafe (Alhambra, CA) - @eatslucywang
It was so awesome that there was finally an American brunch spot in this area of the San Gabriel Valley, and I was so excited because everything was egg-themed! We got the Norwegian Benedict and the House French Toast. Everything was delicious, and the French toast reminded me of the Cereal French Toast from Blu Jam Cafe.
Other September collaborations/events:
I got to attend a Yelp event at Wanderlust Creamery in Pasadena, to celebrate its newest location! I'm such a big fan of Wanderlust Creamery so I was happy to be a part of it. Their flavors are always so creative and delicious. (And yes, we brought our own ice cream holder). The owners were there too, so it was nice chatting with them! We got a few lip balms (Ube Malted Crunch and "The White" scented) to take home.
Pocky USA and Social Native wanted me to showcase a shareable moment with Pocky, so I created an entire charcuterie board, since charcuterie is made for sharing!
Barr Hill Gin and Caledonia Spirits (through Regan Communications) wanted me to create the Bee’s Knees cocktail as part of promoting Bee’s Knees Week, a nationwide fundraiser where a community of local bartenders could participate by serving that cocktail as part of their menu. A portion of the proceeds would go toward saving the bees. The purpose of this fundraiser is to educate people on the importance of bees in pollination and to the ecosystem. It was such a great cause!
