A four-day culinary event that puts internationally acclaimed chefs front-and-center comes to downtown L.A. March 11-14.

There’s theatre-in-the-round and now there’s chefs-in-the-round. The four-day All Star Chef Classic presents esteemed chefs in a novel theatrical setting as they cook then present dinners to a gathering of select food enthusiasts. L.A.’s Ludo Lefebrve, London’s Bryn Williams of Odette’s in Primrose Hill, Dominique Crenn from San Francisco and Inaki Aizpitarte (Le Chateaubriand, Paris) are among the 25 participating chefs.

Over the course of three nights, chefs will present French, British and American menus (tickets start at £178/$275); the fourth day is a presentation by 20 chefs whose dishes are divided between grilled and chilled specialties. The Restaurant Stadium sessions resemble a professional sporting event with big screen TVs relaying all the action as chefs are captured live in the sleek pop-up kitchen. Diners surround the action on three levels of seating. The immersive and interactive chef-led event unfolds at L.A.’s tented event deck. All dinners are paired with select boutique wines.
