Food Fare 2012 is hosted by Planned Parenthood Los Angeles, and is to be held Thursday, March 8th. The renowned annual event will allow guests to sample some of the best food and drink LA has to offer.

Restaurants that have participated in the past include Drago Centro, Ammo, Clementine, Angelini Osteria, and Church and State. In addition to restaurants, food trucks such as The Border Grill Truck and The Grilled Cheese Truck have also participated.
