EaterWire: Libre Not Happening, Craft Beer Fest Update

ECHO PARK—Remember Libre, the "monastery-chic" restaurant going into the Jensen Rec Center building on Sunset Boulevard? Well, The Eastsider LA reports that any potential deals with Libre are officially doneski. Apparently no leases were actually signed. You do hate to see that. [Eastsider]

SANTA MONICA—Consider this a reminder that on May 17th, Melisse will be hosting the second of 5x5 collaborative dinners, and the guest chef is none other than the Modern's Gabriel Kreuther, who just took home a big Beard Award last night. [EaterWire]

LOS ANGELES—LACABAL has posted the list of confirmed breweries for this weekend's Craft Beer Fest LA. The online presale tickets are no longer available, but at least 700 more tickets will be available at the door on Saturday. [EaterWire]
