Orange County has oceans white with foam, Disneyland, major league sports and even a few “Real Housewives,” but, more importantly, it’s become a premier dining destination. More than ever, it’s crucial for restaurant owners and operators to get involved and help the industry flourish. The chapter connects members at the local level to learn from each other, develop relationships with local government, monitor regulatory changes and give back to budding industry leaders.
