    Intuit Dome Reveals Food Offerings Ahead of Arena’s August Opening "We built this for the fans, with the real Angelenos in mind," says Clippers executive Gillian Zucker, CEO of Halo Sports & Entertainment. That extends to the concessions, which the venue debuted this week. "We wanted our food selections to tell a story of Los Angeles." And that story of L.A. is a local one. Vegetables are sourced by Melissa's Produce, a southern California company. https://lnkd.in/druic3Cw via Los Angeles Magazine photo via Eater LA #foodservice #foodandbeverage #intuitdome #dtla
