As part of this year’s L.A.

Presented by City National Bank, the sold-out ticketed event will feature an early screening of the documentary “Roadrunner: A Film About Anthony Bourdain” ahead of its theatrical release in July.
The documentary provides an intimate look at how an anonymous chef became a world-renowned cultural icon. From Academy Award-winning filmmaker Morgan Neville (“20 Feet From Stardom,” “Won’t You Be My Neighbor?”), the film explores how Bourdain indelibly impacted the world around him.
Highlighting the exploration of international culture and cuisine with an ode to Bourdain’s legacy and beloved TV shows “Parts Unknown” and “No Reservations,” the event will include food selections from some of L.A.’s best chefs and local popups. Attendees can choose from Jon & Vinny’s Pizza, A’s BBQ, Tacos 1986 or Bridgetown Roti, plus sweet treats from Wanderlust Creamery and more. Drinks from Justin Wine, Landmark Vineyards and Stella Artois beer will be available for purchase. Still and sparkling water will be available free of charge from Acqua Panna and S.Pellegrino.
