Dinner Lab returns to San Diego

Dinner Lab is back to San Diego!

As a foodie, I couldn’t be more excited.

Upcoming Dinner: Mark your calendars for Sunday, September 13 as Guest Chef David Bowles from Los Angeles joins Dinner Lab, San Diego presenting his new menu, Modern Publican: Rise of the Contemporary Gastrolounge. The menu celebrates the new guard of beer-centric cuisine and will feature craft beer pairings from the hottest new brewery on the market: Duck Foot Brewing Co.

Active in 33 cities across the nation (including New York, New Orleans, San Francisco, Miami, Chicago, Boston, Austin and many more), Dinner Lab is a membership-based social dining experiment that unites undiscovered chefs with adventurous diners looking for something different than a traditional restaurant experience.

So, what does that mean exactly?

Guests come to explore new cuisines and community in a space that only exists for 24 hours. Local chefs are given a creative platform, a culinary theatrical stage of sorts, to prototype new dishes and ideas. Each chefs’ menu tells a compelling story, and guests are encouraged to use this platform to provide honest and truthful feedback to the spotlighted chefs.

Come eat with us! If you haven’t attended a Dinner Lab event to date, here’s what to expect:

  • All dinners start with a cocktail hour at 7pm; The venue could be anything and everything – an empty warehouse, atop a parking structure, inside a church, around a museum, or other – the location is truly unpredictable – and that’s part of the fun!
  • Expect lots of booze – cocktail/wine/beer pairings are always involved. Dinner starts around 7:45pm and includes 5-7 courses of delicious and unique dishes. The chef mixes and mingles with guests, who ask colorful questions about the inspiration of each dish.
  • Seating is unassigned, and guests are encouraged to make friends with others at their table – a big part of the fun as well!
