Cathy Chaplin is a senior editor at Eater LA, a James Beard Award–nominated journalist, and the author of Food Lovers’ Guide to Los Angeles. Moez Megji and Karim Megji, the father-and-son hospitality duo behind a slew of restaurants including Wood & Water in Sherman Oaks and Zin Bistro Americana in Westlake Village, as well as now-closed spots Fins Creekside in Calabasas and the Gallery in Westlake Village, quietly opened their latest project, Chelsea, in Santa Monica earlier this month at 2460 Wilshire Boulevard.

It appears that a struggling chain may have recieved a desperately needed lifeline. The restaurant industry has been in a tailspin since covid, especially in the casual dining and bars segment. Many major chains have been heavily discounting food and drink in order to bring people in. Recently TGI Fridays has $5 Happy Hours and appears to be doubling down on the bar scene again. Some of the chains also have gone above and beyond lowering margins and in some cases quality to keep the lights on. With this latest move, it seems that the single bar scene may have new life, we learned one of the world’s largest casual dining companies that proudly serves guests with over 850 restaurants in more than 55 countries was about to be taken over.

Alex Sohn had one goal when he founded ALMG Hospitality in 2012: to fill Koreatown’s dining gaps. Sohn understands that options abound in Koreatown, but for him, it’s the same old-school restaurants replicating themselves throughout the neighborhood. “All of my friends living in K-Town, they’re always like, ‘There’s nothing to eat, there’s nowhere to go,’ even though there are so many restaurants,” he says.
