Friday, October 9, 2026, 2:00 AM - 5:00 AM · Rustic Canyon, Santa Monica, Los Angeles
Chef pop-up dinner series MichelinMan hosts its 20th dinner at Rustic Canyon on October 8. Ticketed one-night-only collaborative menu.
This place is local legend level: built on deep ties with the Saturday farmers market and turning that bounty into local‑produce dishes that taste like someone actually cares. The dining room (warm wood, soft lighting, and low-key buzz) is the kind of space where your salad might arrive alongside a sprinkling of edible flowers and a story about the farm it came from. Shareable plates dominate, the wine list leans small‑producer fierce, and even the olives feel like part of community theater.
