Laguna Beach is stirring this week and I’ve got three delicious reasons to pay attention. All of these scoops are promised first to my hearty VIP Members … you’ll see all these details below. If you’re not in, you can get in easily, and those details are down below, too. 👇

1. The Chef Comeback You Didn’t See Coming

🔥 One of our most beloved and talented local chefs has quietly stepped back into the spotlight … but where???
You know him. You love him. You’ve missed his food.
He’s most definitely back – but not with a bang. Just a whisper.
I’ve got the scoop on where he’s quietly rebooting his magic, and why this might be your only chance to enjoy it before this “consulting chef” performs said magic and – quite possibly – does that invisibility cloak thing again.
VIPs, just look below for this Chef Scoop.

🍷 2. Join Me: “Dine With Diane” (First Table Opens Wednesday!)

🍽 I'm launching a new “Dine with Diane” experience: limited seats with me, your local restaurant yodeler, at a Laguna restaurant gem I particularly prize. You in?
Surprise bites. Fellow foodies on either side. Chef pop-ins. And insider access you’re never gonna find on Yelp.
The first is set for next Thursday. VIPs, look below for next week’s dinner details and how to RSVP. (Do this fast.)

🥂 3. Grand Opening: A New Spot You “Best of” VIP Members Will Know About Before Anyone Else

Opening on __________________ with zero fanfare … I’ve got the name, the menu sneak peek, and where to go to welcome this newbie to the Laguna Beach scene.

Let’s get into it…
