Angeleno's 10th Annual Live & Dine Awards and Event at the Fairmont Miramar

Angeleno magazine will be hosting their 10th Annual LIVE & DINE LA event and awards on July 22nd, celebrating their Annual Restaurant issue and honoring LA's top chefs and restauranteurs. Food aficionados and industry leaders will come out to indulge in luscious libations, decadent cuisine and all things food.

In celebration of Angeleno's Annual Restaurant issue, Angeleno's Editor in Chief, Lesley McKenzie, and Publisher, Alan Klein, will present awards to LA's top restaurants and chefs for 2012, who continue to shape L.A.'s culinary scene. There will also be a Pioneering Spirit Award given to one of LA's most philanthropic chef who has gone above and beyond to give back to the community.

Bon vivants will then be treated to culinary demos prepared by LA's top chefs, paired with award winning wines and spirits. And most importantly, the event proceeds will benefit PS Arts - a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of children by bringing arts education to underserved schools and their communities.
