First Taste

And speaking of David LeFevre's Fishing With Dynamite, fans can get an early menu taste at a Simmzy's Belmont Shore benefit dinner taking place on January 30. LeFevre and Ray Hayashi (M.B. Post, Fishing With Dynamite), Chris Krajacic (Pier 76 Fish Grill), Omar Gonzalez (Nick's on 2nd), Arthur Gonzalez (Roe), and Roderic Reiswig & Deborah Hirt (Scratch Baked Goods) will each prepare a course paired with local beers from Smog City, El Segundo Brewing, Monkish, Strand, and Golden Road Brewing. The dinner costs $55 per person or $100 per couple with proceeds going to the Surfrider Foundation. [EaterWire]
