The Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles is set to unveil a new cafe at its main Grand Avenue location this month. But the museum's food vendor for the last 15 years, Patina Restaurant Group, will not be involved.

A spokeswoman for MOCA told Culture Monster that the museum's 15-year contract with Patina has come to an end. The new eatery, called Lemonade at MOCA, will be operated by Jackson Catering. The food services company was created by chef Alan Jackson, who also runs the chain of Lemonade restaurants and cafes in the L.A. area.

Lemonade, which just opened a third location on Abbot Kinney in Venice last month, is set to open a fourth in a week or two: a museum cafe at MOCA. The opening date is tentatively set as "mid-September." The original Lemonade is on Beverly Boulevard; the second location is in on South Flower Street downtown. All four Lemonades are owned by the husband-and-wife team of Heidi and Alan Jackson, who also own and operate Jackson Catering, which is based in downtown LA.

With its patches of sea grass and slatted wooden steps, the outdoor dining area at the Beverly Boulevard location of Lemonade looks like a windswept cottage in Southampton.

Lemonade on Beverly looks like a beach cottage in the Hamptons, but the crowd is definitely LA. Comfortable and pretty, it's just the spot for a lunch with the girls when you're in town, or after a long morning of looking at real estate! Located at 9001 Beverly Boulevard, West Hollywood, CA 90048.

It could be argued that our first experience dining out is the school cafeteria and I certainly remember a couple of wonderful Thanksgiving dinners with the family at the old Clifton’s Cafeteria in Century City. Such are the joys to be found at the newly opened Lemonade in Venice at the corner of Venice Blvd. and Abbott Kinney.

Lemonade crushed its first piece of citrus on Abbot-Kinney today, the third location for this healthy-chic cafeteria. It's a perfect place to get one's veggies on, heavy with roasted roots, steamed greens, fruit-based vinaigrettes, and a few dashes of cous-cous and quinoa in ready-made salads and pastas.

Downtown L.A.'s Lemonade luncheonette has welcomed a sister location a lemon's throw from Beverly Hills. Opened in June, the new location boasts an outdoor deck, a sophisticated array of creative market salads and six mouthwatering flavors of it's hand-shaken namesake. ...

Did your high school cafeteria offer twelve-spice braised duck, quinoa-squash salad, ancho-chili pot roast, or roasted cauliflower with golden raisins and curry vinaigrette?
