Roku, IDG Create New Concepts for dineLA July 13-July 27
(Gerry Furth-Sides, all photos from IDG, dineLA). Whenever people ask me where to go to eat, I always tell them to go to as many food events as they can to have a sampling of the chef’s choice and a meet-and-greet with the restaurant staff.
Chef-designed prix fixe menus give Los Angelenos an opportunity to try new ethnic dishes during dineLA July 13-July 27 available across an array of diverse neighborhoods across the city. //www.discoverlosangeles.com/dinela-los-angeles-restaurant-week.
Ethnic restaurant shine among the nearly 400 restaurants participating in 2018 Summer dineL.A. IDG Restaurant Group previewed special menus at its restaurants (ROKU, BOA Steakhouse, Katana, Sushi Roku) and is participating on both the casual and high-end levels.
Veteran restaurants that head the list include Susan Feniger and Mary Sue Milliken’s Border Grill, which has participated in dineL.A. from the very first season; Lucques and a.o.c. (Chef Suzanne Goin), and Josiah Citrin’s Mélisse, among the first to join dineL.A.’s Exclusive Series. Roy Choi’s Kogi Taqueria will enter for the first time.
Visitors and locals can enjoy specially-priced lunch and dinner menus at nearly 400 dineL.A. participating restaurants. Lunch menus range from $15, $20, and $25, with dinner menus priced at $29, $39, and $49, and beginning at $95 for the dineL.A.
