We love to throw a great party with great food and great drink for our guests every day and every night, and we're still as proud as ever to be part of the local dining scene. dineLA Restaurant Week promotes the best in Los Angeles dining, and I'm delighted to join my fellow LA restaurateurs and chefs in helping celebrate what I believe is the best dining city in the nation."
