August is quickly approaching, which means it's almost time for Orange County's most anticipated culinary event of the year - Riviera Magazine's To Live & Dine Event at SOCO in Costa Mesa - - SoCal's premier culinary destination! Mark your calendars for a fun-filled evening of great food and drinks as we celebrate OC's booming culinary scene!
Join top chefs, food enthusiasts, culinary personalities and luxury retailers for this acclaimed tasting event on Wednesday, August 14th from 6-8:00 p.m! The cost of attendance is $20, which allows you to indulge in decadent bites from a curated list of the most talented chefs in Orange County, signature cocktails created by OC’s hottest mixologists, premium beer or top-shelf wine, and the opportunity to enter prize drawings. The talented chefs will be serving up their signature fares to over 500 guests in a competition for the most votes from attendees.
This year's participants include ARC, Taco Maria, Shuck Oyster Bar, The Cheese Shop, The Iron Press, and many other esteemed OC restaurants. Best of all, a portion of this year's proceeds will benefit Court Appointed Special Advocates of Orange County (CASA) - a non-profit organization committed to providing safe environments for children in our community. You won't want to miss this spectacular culinary event! RSVP today by emailing rivierarsvp@modernluxury.com.
