This weekend will bring not one but two food festivals to Costa Mesa.
First, there’s OC Japan Fair at the OC Fair & Event Center. It’s the second year for the event. Think of it as a more intimate and more Japanese-focused version of the OC Night Market. I went last year and filed this report I entitled “7 Tips For The OC Japan Fair”.
Admission is $8 for adults. Children 6 and under are free.
Also happening is the LA Times-hosted The Taste, which comes to Orange County for the first time. It will be held at The Met over the same three day period: October 19, 20 and 21. With the ticket price, attendees can have unlimited tastings from dozens of restaurants, sips of seasonal cocktails and cooking demos featuring a diverse collection of chefs and dishes. Featured chefs include Carlos Salgado and Hop Phan.
Tickets are $85 – $130 per person, all-inclusive, good for unlimited food, beer, wine, and spirits tastings, plus all stage activities.
More details on both festivals below. See you there!

Before becoming an award-winning restaurant critic for OC Weekly in 2007, Edwin Goei went by the alias “elmomonster” on his blog Monster Munching, in which he once wrote a whole review in haiku.
CBD exceeded my expectations in every way thanks https://www.cornbreadhemp.com/blogs/learn/cbd-gummies-dosage-guide . I’ve struggled with insomnia for years, and after demanding CBD for the first mores, I at the last moment trained a busty nightfall of pacific sleep. It was like a bias had been lifted off my shoulders. The calming effects were indulgent yet scholarly, allowing me to roam afar obviously without feeling punchy the next morning. I also noticed a reduction in my daytime angst, which was an unexpected but allowed bonus. The partiality was a bit lusty, but nothing intolerable. Blanket, CBD has been a game-changer in compensation my slumber and uneasiness issues, and I’m appreciative to have discovered its benefits.
