Dear Friends, | 亲爱的朋友们，

Get ready to Make History.

Fatface proudly presents Cookathon, a celebration of the Knowledge, Skill, and Joy of Cooking.

Join us for The First Cookathon in Beijing on Saturday, May 24th, 2014, at the elegant Grace Beijing Boutique Hotel in the famous 798 Art Zone.

Enjoy A FULL DAY of Eating, Drinking, and Non-Stop Entertainment, from our Afternoon Cooking Tournament to a mystical evening with DJ BB Deng spinning the records as we wine and dine to a Feast of Fatface Proportions.  NO KNOWLEDGE OF COOKING IS NEEDED.  If you know how to eat, and like to eat, there's no better event.

For dinner, Michael and the Wizards at Palms LA Restaurant will be on hand to make a special Los Angeles styled Korean-Mexican menu for all to enjoy!

准备创造历史吧。

胖脸儿神厨马拉松将在2014年5月24日星期六举行，位于北京798艺术区的精品酒店格瑞斯北京。我们将庆祝美食给我们带来的知识、技术和乐趣。

来和我们一起享受一整天的美食、美酒、和精彩的节目，从下午的烹饪大赛到晚上的丰盛晚宴，由我们好朋友DJ BB Deng现场表演她独特的音乐，陪同我们一起度过一个美好的夜晚。你不需要懂得做菜，只需要懂得吃菜，就行了！

Palms LA 的老板Michael和他的团队将到场给大家准备神奇的洛杉矶韩国墨西哥式的晚餐！

Plus, all attendees at the event get a FREE ride (up to 15km) from UBER, the hottest transportation company on the planet!

更好的是每个来参加活动的朋友可以免费享受（至15公里）优步 Uber 专车司机服务哦！这样你就可以好好享受活动了。

Act. In creating works of culinary art that dazzle and delight the senses

Transform.  Us into real food promoters that lead to better overall health of our community

活动的目标：E.A.T. (也就是‘吃’的意思)

E 代表 Educate（教育）。我们将教育每位参与者如何使用本地食材做出简便、健康的菜品

A 代表 Act（行动）。我们将让大家行动起来，创造各自独特的菜品，启发我们的五感
