Another museum of food
The Pacific Food and Beverage Museum is set to open this week in San Pedro. The project is a subset of the National Food and Beverage Foundation overall, and also includes the popular Museum of the American Cocktail’s Los Angeles arm. There’s a lot going on at the property, that is, but the most important thing to know is that Los Angeles now has a dedicated place for historians and food and drink aficionados to go and explore the dining past.
The first set of exhibitions will include Victorian-era cookware and mixology accoutrement, as well as a thorough chronicling of chef and bartender tattoos throughout the decades. Expect one-off dinners, educational seminars, and more as well. 731 S. Pacific Ave., Los Angeles.
