What’s new at the Lodge
Lodge Bread in Culver City is launching a new pop-up project in the evenings, called Shefa. The dinner-only, full-service experience starts up this Saturday, and includes a full slate of dishes from small plates to larger items like lamb shawarma and a roasted half-chicken, all offered with natural wines and more.
It’s happening at the bar
There’s a ‘90s era arcade bar pop-up happening at an undisclosed location in Los Angeles for one day only. The Saturday, January 25 event will include colorful themed cocktails and actual games to play for $40 a head, but expect the one-time event to sell out so best to get involved early.
Coming to town
Chef Carlos Zamora (La Marea) is in town from the Riviera Maya to offer a five-course meal at the Viceroy L’Ermitage in Beverly Hills through the end of the month. The $78 tasting menu spans from soft shell crab and a fish of the day to beef tenderloin and chocolate flan for dessert.
It’s a scene
Thrillist has a fun new piece out on the history of LA’s love affair with tableside dining, from sword-slinging meat slicers to upscale caviar preparations.
Doing it together
Alameda Supper Club’s Chris Bianco is hosting a dinner on Thursday, December 5 with Tim Siadatan of London’s Trullo and Padella. Tickets for the event, which will include handmade pasta, run $125.
Fool proof

Coming up
