Los Angeles Food & Wine

David A. Bernahl, II is a man who knows his food. Bernahl founded the Los Angeles Food & Wine Festival, the be-all, end-all foodie event for Angelenos. Bernahl’s company, Coastal Luxury Management, also owns Faith & Flower in downtown L.A., Rose. Rabbit. Lie. at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas and produces the Pebble Beach Food & Wine festival in northern California. Understandably, we just had to ask him which dishes in the City of Angels he considers to taste the most heavenly. Here are this food guru’s top seven favorite dishes in Los Angeles.

The sbe founder, chairman and CEO will not only open his largest hotel to date in Las Vegas this August, but he’s also embarking on new residential real estate ventures around the globe.
