notes the Spice Table Executive Chef/Owner Bryant Ng. “As a newcomer to
the Los Angeles restaurant community, we are excited to expose the Spice
Table to a larger audience through dineLA Restaurant Week this year.”
“As
a charter member of the program, we had the pleasure of hosting the first
Restaurant Week’s press event at Grace,” says Chef Neal Fraser of BLD and
Grace. “We were ready for Los Angeles to be taken seriously as a culinary
destination, and it is exciting to witness how the program and our restaurant
community have grown over the last five years.”

the five years that the dineLA program has been in place, Los Angeles’
culinary expansion has positioned the city as one of the world’s leading
dining centers,” says Mark Liberman, President and CEO of LA INC. “dineLA
Restaurant Week continues to provide the opportunity to explore unknown
neighborhoods and experience new foods at an unbeatable value. With new
restaurants joining the program, such as Ray’s & Stark Bar and Canter’s
Deli Fairfax, along with restaurants like Katsuya, and Valentino, which
have been part of the program since its inception, there seems to be no
end to the power of LA’s dining community.”
