With over 650 miles of freeway, Los Angeles County’s open road can take you practically anywhere. It’s a city full of storytellers, and for Los Angeles’ hospitality professionals is isn’t just about what is on the plate or in the glass. It’s about using California’s legendary, coveted ingredients to weave a more intimate narrative and to share those stories with guests and peers. And although economic forces continue to cause challenges and create constraints, there is an emerging generation of chefs, bartenders, artisans, and restaurateurs who are ready to steer Los Angeles towards an even more original, hospitable, and flavorful future.
