From the return of a high school favorite to fancy gelato, here's what's happening in the Los Angeles food and drink world:

School's out: If you grew up in the '90s, you may have spent your afternoons watching Zack Morris swoon over Kelly Kapowski at a booth at the Max diner on the show Saved by the Bell. Now, NBC Universal, the folks behind the show, are bringing Saved by the Max, a Saved by the Bell-inspired pop-up diner, to Los Angeles later this year. The pop-up, complete with colorful booths and chairs, neon signs, and vintage arcade games — just like the Max in the show — just finished a successful year-long run in Chicago, and is headed to L.A. The L.A. menu will include dishes named after characters on the show, including Tori's fried chicken; A.C. sliders; Mac & Screech, and the Kelly Kapowski Monte Cristo. You can also order a Bayside burger. The exact location and launch date for the L.A. diner will be revealed via social media @SavedByTheMax on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.
