Restaurants are central to our lives—they’re where we laugh, where we celebrate, where we have serious conversations, where we share intimate secrets. Behind each of these special places are the people who dreamed them up and made them come to life.
We Are Where We Eat is a live event series in partnership with The James Beard Foundation that will go behind the scenes of some of L.A.’s favorite restaurants with the city’s most-celebrated chefs and owners to find out more about how they’re making it all work.
The climate emergency affects restaurants in many aspects of their operations, from rising food costs to fewer customers showing up to eat. As extreme weather becomes ever more frequent, how are restaurants in L.A. coping? From changing their menus to collaborating even more closely with their farmer suppliers, LAist science reporter Jacob Margolis (he/him) and special guests will uncover stories of hope and innovation to define a new reality.
