-- Sweet Benefit. Spago pastry queen Sherry Yard is sponsoring a benefit showing of the documentary ‘Kings of Pastry’ on Friday night that will feature a question-and-answer with French pastry chef Jacquy Pfeiffer, whose quest for his Meilleurs Ouvriers de France certification (honoring the best craftsmen in the country)is the focus of the film. There will also be a dessert tasting put on by a few of Yard’s favorite local pastry chefs. Tickets are $75 and will go to the Southern California Careers Through Culinar Arts Program for high school students. For more information, call (818) 704-9979.
