To celebrate Angeleno Magazine's Brad A. Johnson's picks for L.A.'s best restaurants and chefs, the publication held a food and wine event Sunday evening at the beautiful Fairmont Miramar Hotel in Santa Monica. Bringing together some of the city's culinary luminaries, the event honored some of the biggest names in food, including bold newcomers and longtime favorites. Revelers drank selections from several local wineries, grapefruit and herb-infused cocktails from Oxley Gin, and summery berry creations featuring VeeV.
Tables set up with tantalizing seasonal bites were manned by chefs with mega-watt starpower, showcasing their innovation and reverence for thoughtful food prepared with panache. Attendees had the chance to mingle with the chefs, vintners, restaurateurs as well as the many local food scenesters in attendance.
Though eventually the sun went down on the ocean-adjacent fete, guests had the chance to tease their tastebuds with some of the very best in food and drink Los Angeles has to offer.
