Hello Kitty's Hungry Hunt in Los Angeles

Hello Kittys Hungry Hunt in Los Angeles

For those that follow me on Instagram @nitro_licious must have seen a bunch of posts about Hello Kitty and Hello Kitty Con that took place last week. I will have a recap coming soon but first let’s talk about Hello Kitty’s Hungry Hunt which I was bummed I didn’t have enough time to participate in! “Debuting for the first time in Los Angeles, a hub for some of the nation’s most delicious and innovative food and beverage spots, Hello Kitty’s Hungry Hunt will give these specially selected dining venues the opportunity to join in the celebration of Hello Kitty’s 40th Anniversary.”

The hunt started on October 24th and will be running through November 21st, participating food/dessert spots will each offer a yummy Hello Kitty food or beverage item created exclusively for this special occasion. Curated to bring a diverse offering ranging from modern American comfort food such as burgers, to sushi, ramen, and other delicious varieties of Asian fusion, to tea and scrumptious desserts, there’s something for everyone. And the incentive of ordering each Hungry Hunt menu item is a collectible Hello Kitty’s Hungry Hunt pin featuring Hello Kitty enjoying a different treat from each of the participating restaurants. The pins are available while supplies last.

So kawaii! If I was still in LA, I would totally do this to collect all the pins!
