National Food Holiday

Chow down on a pair of flapjacks during the sweet Sept. 26 celebration.

Smorgasburg LA, Old Pasadena, and the OC Fair will wave their chilled spoons high in the air on July’s third Sunday.

Smorgasburg LA is sizzle-brating the appetizing occasion with special vendors and more munch-a-tude.

It’s one of the only food holidays where both savory and sweet dishes are featured.

Southern California restaurants are offering piquant libations, taco-tasty deals, and the occasional boot-shaped glass on Feb. 22.

Pop-up member deals and discounts will add nice spice to the appetizing occasion.

Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams will start February’s first Saturday with a show of sweetness and a goodie giveaway (it involves pajamas, yep).

It’s the most marvelously melty of celebrations and local places are celebrating.

Okay, we’re stoked: There are succulent savings to be found on Oct. 4 and a sparkly taco show at Santa Monica Pier.

A patty, a bun, and all of that luscious melty mouthwatering stringy sublime-a-tude: National Cheeseburger Day is a hearty favorite.

July 30 is the happy day — but then you knew that — and The Cheesecake Factory’s new Classic Basque Cheesecake making its give-back debut.

The decadent food holiday is June 15, which gives us time to locate the most luscious lobster rolls in town.

The hearty food holiday arrives near the end of National Burger Month.

It’s like October in May: Find an eerie event or two while you sip a caramel apple shake.
