AIA/LA Restaurant Design Awards
Barbara Lazaroff returns as host of the annual Restaurant Design Awards.
She has actually presented at every Restaurant Design Awards ceremony.
Quoting the Dwell on Design Blog:
“Barbara was on the very first jury panel of the RDAs [Restaurant Design Awards] when it all started nine years ago, and has since presented at every RDA [Restaurant Design Awards] ceremony,” says Carlo Caccavale, Associate Director of AIA/LA. “There has always been a perfect balance of sympathy and chemistry between Barbara and the RDA program.”
“Barbara wonderfully embodies the spirit of Los Angeles food hospitality,” continues Caccavale. “She and her former husband, Wolfgang Puck, created a completely new and innovative food and design experience in L.A. and opened the door to a new level of inventiveness both in the preparation of the dishes and in creating the theatricality of the restaurant experience.” And, he adds, “We really appreciate her fun personality and great sense of humor that she brings to the RDA ceremony.”
