On July 22, La Valencia Hotel in La Jolla, CA presented an epic night of culinary collaboration! Attending guests of “Six Degrees of Michael Mina Dinner” met and dined with James Beard Award-Winning Chef Michael Mina, and got to taste a series of Mina inspired courses by six esteemed California chefs including La Valencia’s own Executive Chef James Montejano. Guests were encouraged to dress in “Haute Pink” Cocktail attire, and of course, all the food and fun was for a good cause, with a percentage of the event’s proceeds went to Ronald McDonald House Charities.
