Seventeen restaurants tomorrow will donate 10 percent of their gross profits for breakfast, lunch and/or dinner service to Susan G. Komen for the Cure Los Angeles County. “Breast cancer awareness and prevention education is a cause close to my heart,” said Chef Ben Ford, Proprietor and Executive Chef at Ford’s Filling Station in Culver City. “I admire the work the Susan G. Komen Los Angeles County Affiliate has done in making strides to find a cure for this all-too-common disease, and I am thrilled to be able to have my restaurant and craft contribute toward this.”

Diners are encouraged to visit the restaurants (listed below) and to make sure RSVPs are done at the busier ones. Additionally, Yelp is hosting an open dinner party event at Rush Street in Culver City where people can drop in, have dinner or just a drink.
