One of biggest highlights of spending a morning with celebrated restaurateur Michael McCarty is the wealth of knowledge he shares about cooking, sourcing sustainable ingredients and the evolution of dining in Los Angeles. He should know, his restaurant, Michael’s debuted in 1979 and has ever since offered fine food and wine in the atmosphere of contemporary art (from artists including David Hockney, Robert Graham, Frank Stella, Jasper Johns, Jim Dine, and Kim McCarty).
Now anyone can have the chance to spend a morning with McCarty and his chef Mikey Stern at monthly Michael’s Market Meet-Ups. Start your day at 8:30 a.m. in Michael’s lounge with a fresh plate of cinnamon buns and cappuccinos. Then tour the Wednesday Santa Moinica Farmer’s Market with McCarty and Stern.
