so what is family meal anyway?

Family Meal is a supper club based in the Arts District of Downtown Los Angeles. The menu is always built on hyper-seasonal local produce from the best farmers in Southern California, and each course is shared family style at the table. We gather on Wednesday nights to pay homage to the famed Wednesday morning market and feast on its bounty. Typically, Family Meal is BYOB, unless noted on special occasions when a beverage pairing is included. Feel free to come alone or with a group and be prepared to collect some new friends at the table.

The shared meal elevates eating from a mechanical process of fueling the body to a ritual of family and community, from the mere animal biology to an act of culture.
