>Daniel Patterson, the chef and entrepreneur who co-founded L.A.’s Alta Adams, and Keith Corbin, the co-founder and executive chef of Alta Adams, plan to start hosting pop-ups in the space later this summer, then open in the fall with a new menu, more educational outreach and a training program for members of the Watts community.

>Corbin and Patterson are applying for Locol’s 5013(c) designation, and in the meantime work with Fiscal Sponsorship Allies, a nonprofit that aggregates donations to organizations. To raise money, their West Adams restaurant, Alta Adams, began donating 1% of its revenue in the spring, while a bimonthly Monday dinner series there donates a portion of its proceeds to the reopening efforts.
