LOS ANGELES, June 10, 2014 – On Thursday, August 7, Audi will present the fifth annual An

Evening on the Beach at the Jonathan Beach Club Santa Monica, in support of St. Vincent

Meals on Wheels of Los Angeles. Hailed as “the best party on the beach,” by Wolfgang

Puck, a long time Meals on Wheels partner, the evening began as part of Puck’s 28th

annual American Wine and Food Festival in 2010 and is now celebrated as a single event to

capture the allure of a “toes in the sand” food and wine experience.

Featuring some of LA’s best chefs, the event’s guests relax with tempting morsels off the grill,

vintner tastings, specialty cocktails, great music, and a crackling fire as the summer sun sets

over the ocean. Dress is casual, shoes are optional, and proceeds will help to provide the

over 4,000 meals needed to feed homebound seniors and other vulnerable residents across

the Los Angeles area every day.

This year’s chef line-up includes Gino Angelini of Angelini Osteria, Genevieve Gergis of

Bestia, Evan Funke of Bucato, Ray England of Craft Restaurant, James Rosselle of elle cakes,

Thomas Lim of Goldie’s, Sally Camacho and Jason McClain of The Jonathan Club, Jimmy

Shaw of Loteria Grill, Dustin Taylor of Michael’s Restaurant, Alex Lester of Patina, Dahlia

Narvaez of Pizzeria and Osteria Mozza, Walter and Margarita Manzke of Republique, Chris

Phelps and Zak Walters of Salt’s Cure, Mark Peel, Lincoln Carson, Jonathan Eng, and Jason

Wolfgang Puck at Hotel Bel Air. There will be special presentations by Laura Chenel Goat
