The event is a city-wide, 15-day dining event with over 400 restaurants offering exclusive menus. “The focus of Winter dineL.A. aims to reflect upon the remarkable growth and accomplishments of Los Angeles’s dining scene over the past 10 years,” says dineL.A. Director Stacy Sun. “During our 2017 program, we saw a record number of new restaurants participate and learned that three out of four diners tried a restaurant that was new to them. We’re seeing locals and visitors embrace the city’s geography, year-round seasonal ingredients, and multiculturalism—all of which contribute to LA becoming the country’s most exciting food city in 2018.”
