Hundreds of local eateries participate in Dine L.A. Restaurant Week
Dine L.A. Restaurant Week from March 1 to March 14.
Dine L.A. takes place twice a year and highlights Los Angeles and its diversity of culinary experiences. Restaurants offer special lunch and dinner menus, and in addition to outdoor dining, restaurants are also offering menu options for take-out and delivery.
Terra, located on the rooftop of Eataly within the Westfield Mall in Century City, is one of the hundreds of restaurants participating in the event. If you ve never been to Terra before, you ve got to come and see the patio. It s this beautiful outdoor patio with beautiful views of the Hollywood Hills, said Executive Chef, Jon Katz.

If you had told Kristin Colazas-Rodriguez five years ago that she would one day become a major player in the Long Beach bread scene, she probably would ve rolled her eyes and shrugged it off.
After earning a bachelor s degree in history and economics from Cal State Long Beach, she spent three years working as a pastry cook, sous chef and bread baker, first in Los Angeles then in the San Francisco fine-dining world. The experiences were a crash course in the highs and lows of the restaurant business.
