It's just a friendly culinary competition—that is, until you have the opportunity to force your opponent to cook everything in an Easy Bake oven. In the fantastically unpredictable style of Food Network's Cutthroat Kitchen comes SIP LBC's Cutthroat Cocktail. Part of the city's week-long celebration of all things alcohol, this event, hosted by Chef Rahm Fama, pits four local bartenders against each other in a libation battle full of sinister sabotages and surprise twists. A portion of the proceeds benefit the Team Spirit Long Beach Breast & Ovarian Cancer organization, and guests are treated to a special “562” cocktail as well as a signed copy of Fama's cookbook, Meat and Potatoes. As the creators of Cutthroat Cocktail promise, you'll never look at a Bloody Mary the same way again.
