“An Evening on the Beach” to benefit St. Vincent Meals on Wheels is set to be one of this summer’s most anticipated culinary events in Santa Monica this Thursday, July 26 from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m.
The event will feature some of LA’s hottest chefs, tempting tastings off the grill, vintner tastings, specialty cocktails, great music, and crackling fires as the summer sun sets over the ocean.
