Did you resolve to save more money in 2018?
Well, good news if you also resolved to eat well, too: DineLA kicks off this Friday.
That means we’re staring down the barrel of two straight weeks of heavily discounted tasting menus at some 300 local restaurants.
Yes, there’s a lot to choose from. So we went ahead and winnowed it to down to seven can’t-miss tasting menus.
Bon appètit.
