Just imagine: 30 of America’s top chefs cooking for you under the stars. Add an assortment of wines from 60 first-rate California wineries. With two wine stations per food stall, the odds bless the grape lovers. Welcome to the 14th annual American Wine and Food Festival. The cookout will take place Saturday on the Spartacus set of the Universal Studios back lot in Burbank.
