A food tasting at a car dealership? Yep, you heard right. This weekend, Saturday, Oct. 18-19 from 11 AM-5 PM, Irvine BMW will host it's Third Annual Taste of Irvine BMW at its dealership at 9881 Research Drive in Irvine.
There will be a raffle where a percentage of the proceeds will go toward finding a cure for Fragile X, “the most common inherited cause of intellectual impairment and autism”.
There will be complimentary everything, including valet and live entertainment, and, of course, free tastings from local restaurants. Expected to attend: Kimera Restaurant Lounge, BJ's Restaurant and Brewhouse, Kings Fish House, the Wine Pavilion, Donna B's Bakery, Pat N Oscar's, La Cocina De Ricardo, The Counter and TGIS Catering.
And if you come to this event with the intent of scoring some free food, but end up buying a new bimmer, well then, that's fine too.
