After the sell-out success of last year’s Chosen Spot dinners, the 2012 series will be held at the horticulturist’s own stomping grounds: The Luther Burbank Home & Gardens. Chef John Lyle makes it his mission to use Burbank-inspired local ingredients and create menus that go beyond the usual wine & cheese dinners. $75 per person, held June 9, July 7, August 11 and Sept. 8, beginning at 5:30p.m. Reservations at lutherburbank.org.
