Feed Your Face with 790 KABC's Merrill Shindler

Southern California foodies are invited to join with Discover Claremont (the Claremont tourism board) and 790 KABC Radio for a live broadcast of Merrill Shindler’s “Taste Buds” radio show celebrating dining and hotel stays in Claremont. Shindler, the editor of the Los Angeles Zagat Survey, will host his weekly, hour-long talk show from the courtyard at Hotel Casa 425, where guests can enjoy small plates from participating Claremont restaurants and complimentary wine tasting.


The special afternoon food & wine sampling benefits the Inland Valley Hope Partners, which provides food, shelter and supportive services for no- and low-income families. Admission is a $25 donation at the door, and entry will be limited to the first 100 guests. RSVPs to info@discoverclaremont.com are encouraged.


Claremont restaurants expected to participate in the event include Lounge 425 at Hotel Casa 425, Orchard at the DoubleTree by Hilton Claremont, Packing House Wine Merchants, Tutti Mangia, and La Parolaccia.
