VEA Newport Beach, a Marriott Resort & Spa, always seems to have something fun in store for guests and locals, and this summer is no different. VEA has announced a collaboration with chef, restaurateur, and Bravo’s Top Chef alumni, Chef Angelo Sosa.
Available through September 30, Chef Sosa presents two distinct concepts: Beso Burger and Taqueria Amada.

“This is going to be a summer to remember,” says Chef Sosa. “Our partnership with Marriott is rooted in a shared belief that food should create connection, joy, and a true sense of place. Through this summer activation, we’re bringing guests something flavorful, thoughtful, and memorable, the kind of experience that makes summer feel a little more alive.”
