Los Angeles Philharmonic Association Board Chair Diane B. Paul and Executive Director Gail Samuel today announced a ten-year contract with Sodexo Leisure in culinary partnership with The Lucques Group to provide exclusive food and restaurant services throughout the Hollywood Bowl, starting in the 2016 summer season.
The creativity in dining that food lovers experience in James Beard award-winning chef Suzanne Goin’s and Restaurateur/Wine Director Caroline Styne’s local restaurants – a.o.c., Lucques, Tavern and The Larder – will be mirrored throughout all of the Hollywood Bowl’s diverse food locations, from the wine bar and the restaurants to the marketplace and concessions.
“Dining has long been an integral part of an evening at the Hollywood Bowl,” stated Los Angeles Philharmonic Association Board Chair Diane B. Paul. “Whether it’s a picnic, dinner at your seat, or dining in one of the on-site restaurants, visitors have always enjoyed a wide range of options. With the combined creativity and excellence of The Lucques Group and the LA Phil we have an opportunity to develop culinary offerings to make every visit an unforgettable experience.”
This will be a first-time collaboration for The Lucques Group and Sodexo Leisure, who each bring comprehensive operational, branding, marketing and strategic planning expertise to the partnership. Sodexo Leisure is recognized across the globe for its art of hospitality and has an international reputation for working with Michelin Star Chefs such as Alain Ducasse and Michael Caines, among many others. They provide an innovative approach to presenting high quality cuisine at eminent locations across the world for clients such as Royal Ascot, La Jules Verne at the Eiffel Tower, The Paris Lido, Detroit Institute of Art and The Huntington Library.
