ChileCo Socials discussed on KPBS by Troy Johnson. Troy is the senior editor of culinary, art and culture for Riviera Magazine. (skip ahead to the last two minutes of the recording to hear about the Social).
Here’s a snippet: JOHNSON: They’re amazing. It’s ChileCo Catering Company and these socials are basically dinners, elaborate, elaborate dinners with deejays and lights and music and cocktails in places where you would not expect to have a dinner: on a rooftop, in a fish warehouse, on Torrey Pines State Beach the next one is. You’re going to have a table full of – 90 people long on Torrey Pines State Beach. Last year, they had to actually build a berm to stop the high tide that was coming in on dinner. And it’s candles and everything. It’s really an amazing concept.
