China Live is created by restaurant entrepreneurs George Chen and Cindy Chen, and is based in the busy cross sections of San Francisco’s Chinatown and North Beach. China Live includes multiple floors of food and entertaining, with the ground floor featuring the Oolong Café, Market Restaurant & Bar, and Retail Marketplace, and the upper floor’s 8 Tables receiving multiple award nominations for restaurant of the year.

Cal Mare is the latest concept by restaurateur and celebrity chef Michael Mina, and is based in the Beverly Center of Los Angeles. Cal Mare is an homage to the coast of Italy and Southern California from chef/partner Adam Sobel in collaboration with Michael Mina and MINA Group. Located on the ground floor of the newly designed Beverly Center in Los Angeles, the restaurant celebrates the best of coastal Italian cuisine while featuring California’s bountiful ingredients. The menu highlights seafood from both the Mediterranean and Pacific Ocean, as well as fresh handmade pastas and brick oven pizzas.

The 3rd Winner of the GREAT TASTE PRIZE: Culinary Tastemakers, in the 9th Annual TASTE AWARDS will be announced shortly, and is also the venue for the Red Carpet Awards Dinner in West Hollywood.
