WHAT: After nine years in Hollywood, Chef David Lentz finally brings his celebrated CrabFest to the Westside location of The Hungry Cat.  The Santa Monica Canyon CrabFest on Sunday, September 15, honors the treasured Chesapeake Bay blue crab and all the fixings with a complete day of feasting.  As a Maryland native, Lentz includes his favorite crab dishes along with an à la carte menu of pulled pork sandwiches, signature Lobster Roll and award-winning Pug Burger.  The Full Raw Bar and Thirsty Cat Cocktails will be available.
