This year, Inside Out Community Arts' 4th Annual 'Taste of Abbot Kinney' is celebrating the block and shining a culinary spotlight on the chefs who make this eclectic and cosmopolitan street their home.

Over a dozen restaurants will take part in this unique walking/tasting tour, providing scrumptious bites and tickling the taste buds of every attendee! Abbot Kinney's most innovative restaurants and chefs will be selecting their favorite recipes to fill your stomach and warm your heart.
     
    Adam Gertler, host of Food Network's primetime series "Kid in a Candy Store," will be hosting the VIP reception, bringing his trademark passion for food and fun-loving sense of humor.  VIP guests are in for a special treat at this fabulous reception including cocktail, wine and appetizer tastings, demonstrations from local chefs and mixologists, a live DJ and entry into a grand prize drawing.
