C Magazine and my good friend, and fellow Boston University alum, Tait Chatmon-Alvarez help round up troops to shop for a cause. Tait’s previous experience in marketing at Condé Nast and then Gen Art has given her the power to command attention for deserving brands. She recently orchestrated a city-wide product seeding of Pop Chips in which every taste-maker, entertainment agency and celebrity received a giant basket of “popped” (not fried) potato chips! She now handles C magazine’s Marketing and Events and and runs her own marketing/events consulting business. Tait went to the all-girls school, Spence, in New York and is now married living in Venice, Ca with her husband and gorgeous baby – not yet 2. Continue reading

It’s not often I get to meet a real life celebrity in L.A. but last week I had the good fortune to be seated next to Joan McNamara (of Joan’s on Third) when I sat down to dinner at Tamsin Lonsdale’s “Food Fight” party, in honor of the award winning documentary on world hunger, also called “Food Fight.”
Pepperlicious and Celery Spice (ri)1 whisky cocktails certainly helped to get conversation flowing – along with the punchy Charles Smith wines: “Eve” and the “Velvet Devil.” The dinner table overflowed with seasonal organic foods, and meats like charcuterie and shortribs.

Joan sat to my right, and Tyson Park sat to my left. Beside him was Tracy Bjelland, my friend and newly appointed Supper Club membership director (best be nice to her!). Tamsin’s friend, Darius Danesh (a Scottish musician and runner up in Pop Idol a couple of years back in the UK), made the traditional toast, thanking Tami for her on-going hostess jobs over the years and then she rose to thank new and old faces for joining. Next to her, Eddi Gathegi (who plays “Laurence” in Twilight) began to eat, breaking his IZO Cleanse three week detox.
Then I turned to get the scoop on my absolute favorite restaurant in all of L.A. So! Joan! Tell me everything! I exclaimed. She laughed modestly but I know she is use to this. She had brought her daughter with her to dinner, who runs their catering division – Carol. Her second daughter runs the marketplace.

Once we got to talking, Joan finally remembered me from my weekly trips to her 3rd street restaurant that opened in 1994, and recently expanded. The gorgeous marketplace is a toss-back to her native New York and is often described as “Balducci’s in L.A.” Joan gives out cupcakes when the lines grow too long.
I reminded her I am the one who always orders her Rex sole and the baratta prosciutto and I told her about the day my mother and I were recipients of two yellow cupcakes during a Christmas rush. Joan told me how she hates to see her customer wait and feels awful if they come and it’s not easy. She also said they have hung Halloween decorations and are gearing up for Halloween. How does she get those all her cute & charming ideas anyway? “I knew from the time I was 15 … I just knew!” she explained …
Once dinner was over, Tamsin rose again to announce hot chocolate and desserts served in the kitchen!
The Kitchen? Hmmm … what’s that mean? Well, I soon found out. Tamsin had choosen Eve on Nemo for this party – an event-only space behind Dan Tana’s on a tiny one block street called Nemo. “Eve on Nemo” will cater for you, or you can provide your own chefs to use their gourmet kitchen. “Eve on Nemo” also offers cooking classes during the week!
We wandered into the kitchen where hot chocolate and marshmellows were indeed being served. We stood around the stoves like we were snowed in for the winter and ate all the yummy desserts made by Tamsin’s chef duo Jerry and Chris Baker of The Food Matters.
