20 year-old Chef Francisco Guzman from the Michoacan area of Mexico will host a dinner that will help the country he holds dear. Frankie created With Love to Mexico to bring awareness to the ongoing violence caused by rampant drug cartels in his homeland. This menu features some of LA’s top chefs who have chosen traditional dishes from 6 of the most affected regions, and prepared each of them with their own unique touch. Proceeds from this event will donated to Mexico Unido.
