As I wrote back in February, The Taste of OC returns after what was apparently a 16-year hiatus. The event will be held this weekend at Verizon Wireless Amphitheater, starting at noon on Saturday.
Expect to see a few people we've featured here on this blog, including Louis Jocson of Red Table, Greg Daniels from Haven Gastropub/Taco Asylum, Shachi Mehra of Tamarind of London, Pascal Olhats of Pascal Restaurants, and Craig Connole of K'ya Bistro/House of Big Fish and Ice Cold Beer.
Tickets cost $25, but if you want VIP access, it will set you back $179. An Ultra Pass will be a whopping $250. For information on what the differences are, visit http://www.tasteofoc.com.

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.
