LA, Served: The Restaurants Shaping The City
Get ready to dive into the heart of LA's culinary scene with LA, Served! This in-person Restructured LIVE event celebrates the restaurants that are defining the city's flavor and vibe. The conversation will explore how restaurant groups evaluate locations, what makes a property work for a particular concept, the role of design and surrounding neighborhoods, and how restaurants can influence the identity and value of the areas around them. Panelists will also share their perspectives on site selection, operations, growth, and the broader real estate decisions behind successful restaurant concepts. See you at the Directors Guild of America (DGA) Theater on Thursday, 10/22!
The panel will feature Tony LaPenna, Partner at The h.wood Group, Craig Susser, Founder and Owner of Craig’s, and Mason Royal, Director of Operations at Max and Helen’s, moderated by Lorena Tomb, Founder and CEO of URBANLIME Real Estate. Together, they will discuss the intersection of restaurants, hospitality, real estate, and placemaking, and what goes into creating successful concepts beyond what guests see when they walk through the door.
