So, in Mushroom Chef Down, we’re presenting chefs across Los Angeles with one of the most subtle and complex foods we could find (mushrooms!) and asking them to pair them with some of our favorite proteins. The chef that best showcases the ingredients wins the Chef Down, but we here at Tasted believe that we’re always winners, as long as there’s tasty food!<br /><br />Want to send us stuff?
