Seabirds Food Truck Goes Brick and Mortar
10.29.13
Fans of the award-winning Seabirds Food Truck (nominated for the 2013 Golden Foodie Awards in the Best Vegetarian Cuisine category) can now get their famous vegan cuisine anytime at the new Seabirds Kitchen, a brick and mortar spot at the front gardens of the LAB in Costa Mesa, complete with a communal table made from a century-old East Coast wharf. It’s currently serving a seasonal fall lunch and dinner menu including Chopped Bounty, Good Fu Yu salads and Holy Smokes Bowl.
The organic, plant-based vegan menu offers quesadillas, small plates and sides, salads, tacos, bowls and a daily selection of desserts. Biodynamic and organic wines and craft beers are also available.
Seabirds Kitchen is open daily for lunch and dinner at 2930 Bristol St. in Costa Mesa. 714-549-2584.
Sweet and Savory Crispa Crepes
10.22.13
Crispa Crepes recently debuted in Irvine’s Northpark Plaza thanks to Hadrien Curs, a native of France whose creperie concept offers made-to-order savory and sweet crepes prepared in just a few minutes.
The crepes are also affordable, starting at under $5 to $8.25. And students receive a price break too; junior high, high school and college students who show a valid school ID will receive a free soda with an order of a savory crepe, or a free scoop of ice cream with their sweet crepe order.
The selections include a Greek crepe filled with grilled chicken breast strips, feta, fresh tomato, fresh spinach leaves, red onions, olive tapenade and thyme; or an Indian crepe with grilled chicken breast strips, lentils, shredded carrots, mild sour cream curry sauce, red onions and fresh cilantro. The American crepe is filled with grilled chicken breast strips, avocado, aged Swiss cheese, fresh cilantro, tomato, red onions; and a Moroccan crepe is filled with grilled chicken breast strips, hummus with cumin, tomato, red onions, fresh basil leaves, olive tapenade and shredded carrots. Classic French crepes come with ham, aged Swiss and thyme, among other choices. All savory crepes are served with a small organic mixed greens salad dressed with house made balsamic vinaigrette.
Sweet dessert crepes include Crispella, with a chocolate hazelnut spread folded in a delicate crepe with powdered sugar and topped with a dollop of whipped cream. There’s also the Vienna, a sweet crepe with stewed apples, with a drizzle of warm caramel, cinnamon and garnished with honey-roasted almonds.
Open daily from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. At Northpark Plaza, 3945 Irvine Boulevard in Irvine. 714.389.5711.
