The event is tied to October 2026 and appears in the calendar as an evening event on a single listed date within that two-night series. The precise start and end time belong in the event details display, but the planning essentials are that this is a timed dinner series rather than an open-ended pop-up or general menu offering.

KinKan is identified as a Los Angeles restaurant, while Vin Folk is identified as a Hermosa Beach restaurant.
