NorthEats

Nino “Neens” Camilo, founder of the I Love Poke Festival, has teamed up with Baker & Olive to create a new annual event, NorthEats, set for Sunday, April 13, from 4-7pm, at Hilton Oceanfront Carlsbad Resort. Curated by Camilo, NorthEats is a food and lifestyle showcase that will feature chefs, restaurants, and food brands based north of the 56 Freeway. Savor tastings from 20 North County restaurants, food demonstrations, live music by Ray Barbee, and appearances by pro athletes and local celebrities. In addition, Chris Cote, action sports and television personality and commentator for major surf events, will be co-hosting. The highlight of this festival will be a live cooking competition between two athlete/chef pairings, required to use olive oils and balsamic vinaigrettes from Baker & Olive in their dishes. A portion of event proceeds will be donated to Plant with Purpose. Tickets are $50 per person. (www.bakerandolive.com)
