Editor’s Pick, Meet the Makers: Celebrate the Craft There’s as much attention on who grows and produces the ingredients as who prepares them at the 23rd annual Celebrate the Craft, taking place October 18. Against the coastal backdrop of The Lodge at Torrey Pines, an expansive lineup of chefs from Southern California and Baja comes together with regional farmers, ranchers, fishers, vintners, brewers, and artisans for an afternoon devoted to seasonality and collaboration. This year marks a new chapter under The Lodge’s Executive Chef Eric Sakai and A.R. Valentien Chef de Cuisine Owen Beatty, with participating chefs including Eric Bost, Drew Deckman, Benito Molina, JoJo Ruiz, Claudia Sandoval, Travis Swikard, Brad Wise, and many more. New experiences join tastings, demonstrations, and an extensive collection of vintners, while a portion of ticket proceeds benefits the San Diego Food Bank. celebratethecraft.com M.P.

Editor’s Pick, Making Waves in Medicine: Legends of Science and Surfing Legends of Science and Surfing began in 1994 as Surf for a Cure, bringing San Diego’s surfing community together to support cancer research at Moores Cancer Center at UC San Diego Health. Today, the event pairs the Legends of Surfing Invitational with an oncology symposium and has raised more than $14 million for cancer research and innovation. Just 12 days after Kevan M. Shokat, PhD, received the 2026 Rell Sunn Award at this year’s gathering, the FDA approved Rasonque (daraxonrasib), a first-in-class targeted therapy for metastatic pancreatic cancer. Shokat’s pioneering research helped overturn the long-held belief that KRAS, one of cancer’s most important drivers, was “undruggable,” laying important scientific groundwork for a new generation of RAS-directed cancer therapies. mcclegends.ucsd.edu M.P.

Editors’ Pick, The GOAT of Skateboarding: Tony Hawk San Diego native Tony Hawk, the legendary skateboarder, entrepreneur, and philanthropist, turned pro at just 14 years old, was crowned vertical skating’s world champion 12 years in a row, and landed the first 900 at the X Games. He co-founded Birdhouse Skateboards and Hawk Clothing, launched the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater video game franchise (one of the most popular game franchises in history), and continues to perform worldwide (as photographed here at his skate ramp in Vista in April 2025). The Tony Hawk Foundation has awarded more than $13 million in grants to 660+ skateparks, making him an enduring icon in action sports and youth advocacy.
