Grammy Awards Food at Staples Center
Celebrities and fans look forward to the event each year, so I was excited to try out Grammy Awards food ahead of time. As you can imagine, music industry VIPs eat very well!
This week I got an advance look (and taste!) of the menu that was created for the 59th Annual Grammys. The meal was set up in Los Angeles at Staples Center in a VIP suite overlooking the stage that was being set up for Sunday’s awards show.
The menu was created by Executive Chef Joseph Martin and his team. I had plenty to choose from as a vegetarian. Others also enjoyed the meat and seafood.
