Jon Shook, Vinny Dotolo, Matt Molina and Others Join David LeFevre's Epic Birthday Bash

An epic night planned for MB Post

By Lesley Balla

To celebrate his birthday - and the bounty of the season - chef David LeFevre rounds up a few of his bestie chef buds for a blowout bash at M.B. Post, and we're all invited. On Monday, July 16, joining LeFevre at the stoves are Jon Shook and Vinny Dotolo from Animal and Son of a Gun; Matt Molina from the Mozzas; Steve Samson and Zach Pollack from Sotto; and Zoe Nathan from Rustic Canyon, etc. The dinner, part of the restaurant's Can You Dig It? series, will feature ingredients from some of the best local farmers.

There are two seatings: One at 5:45, 6 and 6:15PM, and and a second at 8, 8:15, 8:30PM. Cost is $80 per person or $115 with wine pairings, and some proceeds, including the $25 charge you'll get stuck with if you bail on the reservation, goes to Common Threads. Check out the menu after the jump.
