Los Angeles’ glamorous Hotel Bel-Air is turning up the heat this summer, with a barbecue extravaganza helmed by some of the world’s most famous chefs.

The luxury Dorchester Collection hotel is opening up its front lawn for an evening of family-style al fresco dining on 6 September, to celebrate the launch of its 2022 Visiting Chef Series.

The property’s Master Chef Wolfgang Puck and executive chefs Connor McVay and Tiffany Pascua will be joined by world-famous culinary stars including Francis Mallmann, Nancy Silverton, Eric Werner, Adam Perry Lang, Burt Bakman, Arjun Mahendro, Victor Delgado, Jorge Alvarez, and Leonard Botello IV for the ultimate barbecue party.

Each chef will showcase their individual approach to barbecue preparation, allowing for a diverse sampling of tastes and cooking techniques. The dinner, priced at $350 per person, includes select wine pairings from local California wineries, and guests will dine at communal tables amidst the hotel’s colourful gardens.

All excess prepared food will be redistributed to those in need through the Chefs to End Hunger initiative, and there will be a silent auction benefiting the LA Promise Fund.
