L.A. Times Food Bowl

Embark on a culinary adventure at this weekend-long event from the L.A. Times Food section, held at Santa Monica’s Barker Hangar. On Friday night, be one of the first people to see the new edition of the L.A. Times’ annual 101 Best Restaurants guide at a live countdown and reveal party. Enjoy unlimited bites and drinks from dozens of the city’s top restaurants and bars. Highlights from this year’s lineup of participants (which means they must be on the guide in some fashion) include Baroo, Darling, Dunsmoor, Holbox, Alta Adams, Baroo, Saffy’s, Villa’s Tacos and many more. The next night, at “Saturday Night Flavor,” Anthony Anderson, Cedric the Entertainer and Roy Choi will keep the party going with comedy and culinary demos.
