"I've learned the Reagan Library in Simi Valley is switching up its food and beverage program by bringing on Sodexo — a France-based, large-scale management company with well over 400,000 employees — to overhaul dining at the Air Force One Pavilion. Caroline Styne and Suzanne Goin of the Lucques Group, both James Beard Award winners who run restaurants including Lucques and A.O.C., will work with Sodexo starting in January to focus on the library's prodigious catering and events business; Sodexo will add kiosks and self-ordering stations, introduce new menu items, and guide construction of a new dining terrace with a wine bar that overlooks the greater Santa Rosa Valley. The library remains open and was unaffected by the nearby Woolsey Fire." - Farley Elliott
