Food Or Art? Come Decide (And Eat) For Yourself!

To live and to dine… Many people argue over which is the true prerequisite to the other.

And here in San Diego, we are just as torn.

I mean how could we not be – as we reside amongst some of the finest chefs in the country?

If you’re looking for a way to blur the lines even further, then you need to come to Modern Luxury San Diego’s annual To Live & Dine event, where the enjoyable arts of life don’t end with culinary.
