Don, Helene, and Yvette. Yvette has been the guiding force behind FIBR and has a way of building the organization based on her camaraderie, the strength of her character, and literally giving you the right assignments. Yvette, with Denise Fairchild, collaborated with Los Angeles Trade Technical College’s Culinary Arts Department to cook the commodities donated by FIBR’s ethnic manufacturers.

Foods’ Grilled Marinated Pork Skewers, aka inihaw; Dulan’s Catering’s Jerk Chicken Wings; El Burrito’s Tamales and Soy Tacos; Starlite Cuisine’s Vegetarian Taquitos; Village Green foods and Los Altos Foods’ Korean Beef Tacos; GFF, Girard’s Mesclun Medley and Champagne Vinaigrette; Money Saver Meats’ Tandoori Chicken Chops and Spicy Chicken Sausage w/Peppers; El Burrito’s Grilled Soy Steaks with Portobello Mushrooms; Caldwell Fresh’s Vegetables with Spicy, Sesame Ginger Sauce; Food Collective and Wah King Noodles and Passport Food Group’s Red Curry Vegetable Chow Mein with Won Ton Chips; Dandy Don’s French Vanilla and Mission Fig Ice Cream with Balsamic Reduction.

While the commodities were donated and labor donated, the attendees paid $35 each, while Gold Sponsors included Passport Food Group and Felbro Food Products, and Silver Sponsors included California League of Food Processors and California Manufacturing Technology Consulting. With Yvette and FIBR, it is a win-win for all!
