.About Greg Rogers

For more than 25 years, Greg Rogers has been a fixture in Los Angeles restaurant, hospitality and lifestyle PR, known for creating buzz, landing meaningful media coverage and connecting great concepts with the people who need to know about them.

Through Greg Rogers Public Relations, Greg has helped launch and promote some of Southern California’s most talked-about restaurants, bars and hospitality concepts, including M Café, Chaya Downtown, The Edison, Pinches Tacos, Mastro’s Steakhouse Beverly Hills, Maple Block Meat Co. and others.

His clients have appeared in The New York Times, Food & Wine, Bon Appétit, GQ, Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times, Los Angeles Magazine, Eater, LAist and The Infatuation, with regular television exposure on outlets including KTLA, Good Day LA, CBS/KCAL and Spectrum News 1.

Greg’s approach goes well beyond traditional PR. Having spent his career immersed in restaurants, nightlife, spirits and events, he understands the business from the inside out. His work encompasses media relations, restaurant launches, events, strategic partnerships, influencer outreach, social media, email marketing, menu and promotional development, and creating the kind of ideas that get people talking.

His introduction to the PR world came under legendary Los Angeles publicist Joan Luther, whose career promoting the city’s restaurants and chefs stretched back to the era of the Brown Derby.

Greg also has an unexpected place in coffee history. While working at Starbucks on Santa Monica’s Third Street Promenade in the 1990s, he helped develop the recipe that became the Frappuccino, earning a Starbucks President’s Award for his contribution.

Today, Greg works with a diverse roster of hospitality, food and entertainment clients including Maple Block Meat Co., M Café, Harold & Belle’s, Craft by Smoke & Fire, Marly Bars, Santa Anita Park, and the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, among others.

At the heart of it all, Greg is a connector — someone who knows Los Angeles, knows the media, knows restaurants, and usually knows where everyone should be eating next.
