Duck Dive to Malibu; the LA King's Fundraiser; More!

MALIBU— Nearly everyone was surprised when Paul Shoemaker's Savory in Malibu closed late last year. Except landlord Zan Marquis, who may or may not have had something to do with the shutter. Regardless, Marquis has leased the old Savory space to a new tenant: Duck Dive Gastropub. This is Duck Dive's second location; the first is in San Diego. [EaterWire]

DOWNTOWN— Hockey fans, listen up. The Los Angeles Kings are hosting a fundraiser for the Kings Care Foundation at downtown's Fleming's Prime Steakhouse at LA LIVE this Sunday, March 10. Tickets start at $750, but that's a small price to pay for a meal and drinks served by the Kings themselves. Plus, it's for a good cause. All team members will be in attendance. Reservations may be made online. [EaterWire]

SANTA MONICA— A new raw restaurant opened this past Saturday in Santa Monica, notes Grub Street. On opening night, Raw Star Cafe took $25 from each guest, but failed to provide an all-you-can-eat meal as promised. Sounds like a raw deal indeed. [GS]
