August 2019 A Foodie's Fantasy
At the height of summer, August always brings about the desire to indulge a little extra. Before the buzz of fall kicks in, you may want to sink a little deeper into that summer holiday sensation. LA's vibrant culinary landscape makes it pretty easy.
Every year, cuisine and culture collide at the Los Angeles Food & Wine Festival. From August 22-25, expect an epicurean extravaganza. The event is city-wide, and over the course of four days, you’ll have the chance to sample delicacies from culinary talent, foodie influencers, and world-class producers of wine and spirits.
Don’t think typical food festival—this is really a series of events taking place all over Los Angeles, from tastings in Santa Monica to BBQs in Japantown to multi-course Italian lunches. Meet the chefs and explore specialty cuisines from around the world.
Best of all, our very own Executive Chef Francis Dimitrius will be plating at Sunday’s Brunch So Hard event from noon until 3 PM in Santa Monica. What’s more LA than brunch and a little day drinking? It’s a must-add to our itinerary.
You can make independent reservations for each distinctive dining event according to your taste. There will even be book signings and after-parties, so get ready for a full-on immersion into the world of food in LA!
