These new additions proved to be a hit with the community and the Taste of Ladera is proud to announce some very top honors to those who participated in the various promotional campaigns this year. The Celebrity Chef Challenge made its debut with a cast of culinary experts. “We wanted to bring a culinary feature to the event to help elevate the profile of many great chefs that make up the community,” said Michelle Patterson, Founder and CEO of Event Complete. “These types of events are about finding the right balance, and we found that it would be interesting to put an emphasis on the new food court area by promoting it with some heavy hitters. The best chefs from the area were invited to participate in a friendly food challenge and then we threw in some twists to make it more entertaining.” On the main stage, ‘80s and ‘90s tunes were spinning while the second stage featured up and coming talent through the OC Talent Show. The two divisions are middle school and high school. These amazing young artists are a part of a talent competition that goes on to showcase at The Giant Orange Festival at the Great Park in Irvine on July 17th.
