Where & When Chefs & Urbanwear Designers Share the Love by Hugging It All Together at The Hundreds' Family Style Food Festival, Third Years Going.

Here's Chef Nancy Silverton modeling her collaboration with 
Carrots By Anwar Carrots, a limited edition collaboration collection just for @familystylefest.











The chef-beloved urban/streetwear brand, The Hundreds, https://thehundreds.com/ know who they are, knows who loves them back and knows what their fans need, want, and love.

https://luxurist.blogspot.com/2018/10/millennial-gen-z-mens-hair-skincare.html This scribe first met them when they launched a limited edition men's grooming kit for their customers, which tends to be chefs and The Hundreds love their food as much as they love their streetwear and sneakers, which in return, chef love wearing them, on and off the clock.

A year later, The Hundreds launch their https://www.familystylefest.com/ Family Style Food Festival, a cross-cultural food festival where the world’s top culinary talent gather for one afternoon to collaborate with prominent streetwear brands and artists on one-of-a-kind dishes and limited merchandise.

The Hundreds' food festival is where and when fashion designers and chefs show off their love for each other by pairing meals with their favorite fashion designers then in return, fashion designers created limited edition clothes for their favorite chefs.

Chef Nancy Silverton, always one of the best dressed chefs, has a foodie fan in Anwar Carrots,
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/29/fashion/anwar-carrots-streetwear.html, the streetwear designer of Carrots by Anwar Carrots. So, he especially designed a streetwear capsule with her in mind.  In return, her restaurant, Osteria Mozza joins The Hundreds' Family Style Food Festival and Anwar sells his limited edition Osteria Mozza x Carrots at the Family Style Food Festival Gift Shop by Doordash.

There's no way about it. The Hundreds' Family Style Food Festival is a Millennial and Gen-Z affair where hundreds (yes, pun intended) lining are pre-ordering the chef-streetwear collections on Doordash app so when they bee line directly to the sold-out Gift Shop where all the clothes are, the limited edition collectible merchandise will be a quick and ready pick-up.

Chef Evan Funke is such a well-respected chef, that Tommy Hilfilger designed a line of t-shirts just for him.

Since these in the know fans know that these chef-inspired clothes are limited edition, they sold out fast.  These limited edition chef-inspired designer street/urbanwear is one heck of souvenirs that will be worn then framed for future generation.











Once guests get their collectible merchandise first and foremost, of course they know it's a food festival by the best chef that the City of Angels can offer.

The Hundreds are so profitable during normal times, that they held the third year of their food festival in CBS Studios, next door to The Grove/Farmer's Market.

Folks collected, gathered, sampled, snacked, lunched, dined, and bought ready-made dinners and the finest left-overs from LA's best restaurants.

A festival is also a great place to debut and launch new food dishes.  Jolibee launched their McCharlie, their vegan take on the Big Mac and their Mango Hand Pies at The Hundreds' Family Food Festival.

How foodie is The Hundreds?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FN1ZmyVQ_MM Ben Hundreds of The Hundreds, hosts his own travel/foodie show on Tastemade, "Big Appetite hosted by Ben Hundreds," According to Ben Hundreds, “Two of my favorite things in the world are food and art, and being able to showcase them together through this new platform is a dream come true.” In some ways, that sentiment is what drives new cultural trends. While much can be said about food and flavor, the inspiration for the culinary experience can come from outside the kitchen.

His Family Style Food Festival is a physical manifestation of his Tastemade tv show, where fashion and food show their love together.
