Food Bowl, the Times’ monthlong food festival, will return in June for its fifth year. A series of live and virtual events will celebrate the diversity and resilience of the food and restaurant scene in Southern California as L.A.-area restaurants emerge from a devastating pandemic year.
In-person dining experiences and virtual forums are scheduled for June 9-July 12, and participants can expect prix fixe menu offerings, outdoor dining opportunities, virtual discussions with leaders in the food industry, and a series of events that honor Phenakite, the Times’ Restaurant of the Year, and Guelaguetza, the winner of this year’s Gold Award.
