KUNIKOyagiWhen Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring debuted in Paris—its performance at the Bowl this week honors the work’s 100th Anniversary—it was considered revolutionary. Despite an openly hostile reception by audience and press, it eventually became a classic. Our featured chef, David Myers protégé Kuniko Yagi, celebrates her own rite of spring as the innovative young executive chef at Myers’ Hinoki & The Bird in Century City.“I love the Hollywood Bowl, and every time I go I love to pack a picnic with some wine and cheese. I saw one of my favorite bands there, Radiohead, and it was just an amazing experience. There’s something about being outside, listening to great music and eating and drinking with friends that makes for a very special night out.”
