On November 5th I was invited to cater a really cool event. Delicious Vinyl celebrated the release of  their new Delicious Vinyl DJ app for iPhone.
The event was at Freak City, an ART MUSIC STYLE gallery with hybrid retail space. Its located on Sunset Strip right below the Delicious Vinyl headquarters.
So anyways, back to the story at hand, Perfection is perfected, so I’ma let ’em understand from a young BUGG’s perspective that I was there to cater the Delicious Vinyl DJ premier event. I wanted to make finger foods, things people could eat and enjoy while dressed to the 9’s without losing any sexy. Here are some flicks from the night.

I gotta say, Thursday June 4th was a good day… No barkin’ from the dog, no smog and Junebugg cooked a meal with no hog! I woke up quick at about 7:30 and started cooking my Cee-lo Greens. That night I was planning to feed 100 people at SOUL FOOD, an event in LA honoring Def Jef. Here’s what I had on the menu:
Sweet cornbread with real corn kernels saturated in a honey butter glaze
Succulent fried red snapper, seasoned to perfection
an all time favorite, baked Macaroni & Cheese (I had spicy & regular)
Tastey collard greens with alll the flavor and no meat
I was selling all that with a slice of watermelon for only $7!!! Here are some happy eaters from the night…
Ratha and Cesar had overwhelmed tastebuds
this guy came back for a second plate
These guys were also part of the 2nd's crew
even Mark LUV came out to get his grub on
For everybody that saved room we had IceT with free refills all night long and Ol’ Dirty Custard for dessert
Sweet tea and lemonade. Only $2 with free refills all night long!
Banana pudding with nilla wafers, just like grandma used to make
In addition to amazing food and a dope line up, SOUL FOOD also had live silkscreening by Listen Clothing
Listen Clothing had live silk screening and live painting by Jonas Lynch
I didn’t get to see much of the show at all cause we were around the corner, but here are some sights from the event
My partners in crime: Abigail & Alyssa
no meal is complete without the proper condiments
Sidewalk Cheffing at its finest... Abigail frying fish LIVE while you wait
the had the laker game on during the show so no one missed anything
the end.
