MUSUBI MADNESS Pop-Up debuts in Hollywood
09.03.19
Presented by Foodbeast, this first-ever MUSUBI MADNESS pop-up is debuting at Lono Hollywood for three days only: September 7, 14 and 21. The event will feature a build-your-own SPAM musubi bar showcasing unique musubis that take cues from global fare out of Korea, Mexico, the Philippines, the U.S., and Vietnam. In addition to such deliciousness, the pop-up will include chef-driven items like a SPAM corn dog, a SPAM soft serve sundae and a SPAM-themed cocktail.
The build your own Musubi Bar includes:
U.S. - American Burger Musubi: This recipe replaces a traditional beef burger with SPAM Classic, but keeps the classic ‘secret’ sauce, grilled onions and American cheese.
Mexico - Chile Verde Musubi: Playing a riff off the classic pork chile Verde, this musubi recipe fries SPAM Classic in salsa verde, topped with queso fresco and sits atop Spanish Rice.
Philippines - Filipino Lumpia Musubi: This version gets a satisfying crunch from crispy, savory Lumpia egg rolls and accompanied by garlic rice, SPAM Tocino, and sweet chili sauce.
Korea - Korean Fried Rice AKA Bokkeumbap Musubi: The highlight of this recipe is the bottom layer which features Korean fried rice, gochujang, kimchi, and green onion.
Vietnam - Spring Roll Musubi: This musubi takes on flavors from a Vietnamese spring roll including cucumber, pickled carrots, egg roll crisps, and nuoc cham, a sweet and vinegary dipping sauce.
Spam-Based Dishes Created by Lono Executive Chef David Lespron
SPAM Corn Dog: A tasty blend of shrimp and SPAM® Classic are encased in a togarashi-infused corn dog batter and topped with banana ketchup.
SPAM Soft Serve Sundae: This unique, build-your-own dessert is a SPAM®-infused ice cream that can be topped with furikake, teriyaki caramel, rum caramel, vanilla-braised pineapples, and candied nuts.
SPAM-themed Cocktail: A play on the famous tiki drink includes rum, pineapple, Cara Cara Orange, coconut creme served over crushed ice in a SPAM® can.
This is a FREE event, but seating is limited so RSVP at foodbeast.com/spam.
LONO Hollywood is at 6611 Hollywood Blvd., in Los Angeles

Celebration of Global Friendships Masquerade Ball
08.31.19
An elegant evening, Celebration of Global Friendships Masquerade Ball, will commemorate the Plasticos 20th anniversary and honor three special humanitarians, Drs. Philippe and Isabelle Schaison and Rachel Russell on Saturday, Sept. 14, at the Balboa Bay Resort in Newport Beach.
The public is invited to join in the festivities at this annual event that will raise critical funds to support the mission of Plasticos, a humanitarian nonprofit providing reconstructive plastic surgery to those in need, both globally and domestically, while generating sustainable outcomes through training, education and research.
For two decades, Plasticos has been at the forefront of creating lasting outcomes in under-resourced countries around the world. Through dedicated teams of medical volunteers, including surgeons, anesthesiologists and nurses, Plasticos not only performs surgeries on its overseas missions but, through teaching, ensures that local medical teams learn how to perform the same complex reconstructive surgeries. Patients typically require surgery to correct traumatic injuries, disfigurement as a result of cancer or congenital deformities.
At the gold and black-themed masquerade ball, where guests are encouraged to dress in black tie wearing elegant masks, Philippe Schaison, Ph.D. and Isabelle Schaison, PhD., will be recognized for their invaluable volunteer roles with Plasticos.
At the Celebration of Global Friendships, guests will enjoy a hosted cocktail reception with a silent auction, gourmet dinner, entertainment by the dance band N’Demand, a live auction with vacation packages, award presentations and a video retrospective of Plasticos.
