Line-up for Sandwiches at The Trough

09.01.15

From the same group who brought us the Blind Pig Kitchen + Bar restaurant and the Trough Sandwich Kitchen on the picturesque Lago Santa Margarita in Rancho Santa Margarita comes their first foray into Newport Beach: The Trough Sandwich Kitchen on the Balboa Peninsula, just steps from the beach, Balboa Pier, boardwalk and the Fun Zone.

The super casual Trough Sandwich Kitchen in Newport Beach just opened and is serving breakfast all day, as well as lunch and dinner created by Executive Chef Karl Pfleider.

With six cold sandwiches and eleven hot sandwiches to choose from all served on OC Baking Company breads; as well as breakfast plates such as burritos with egg, homemade taters, cheddar cheese, and pico de gallo wrapped in a flour tortilla, or French toast and waffles. Delicious sides to go perfectly with a sandwich include onion rings, chili cheese tots, and pickled eggs. All sauces and dressings are made in-house, from scratch.

Favorites from the cold sandwich selections include the turkey club; tuna salad with pickled celery, dried cranberry, roasted almond, tomato, arugula, red onion on a multi grain roll; and a cold cut sandwich with lettuce, tomato, red onion, jalapeno vinaigrette, Swiss cheese, housemade Kewpie mayo, and cornmeal roll.

Our favorite hot sandwiches include the California Cowboy with chicken, bacon, lettuce, tomato and sourdough; the chashu pork sandwich with marinated boiled egg, arugula, housemade kewpie mayo, and pickled ginger on a corn roll; and the spaghetti sandwich with bolognese, parmesan, and garlic/herb butter on a corn roll.

Michoacan Street Food at Urbana

08.28.15

Urbana is the latest artisan eatery to open at the Anaheim Packing House.

Owner Javier Cuadra was born and raised in Zamora, Mexico and grew up with access to delicious, fresh street food. After exporting seasonal organic berries from Mexico, he eventually yearned to open a restaurant and now with Chef Ernie Alvarado’s culinary artistry he’s bringing hearty and healthy Michoacán street food to the Packing House family.

Urbana offers 100% natural and fresh ingredients including handmade tortillas, gourmet tacos such as tinga tu taco with cotija, pickled red onion, and micro cilantro. Other delicious items include snapper ceviche, nachos libres, enchiladas suizas such as shrimp al mojo de ajo with green tomatillo salsa, crema fresca, oaxaca cheese, and micro cilantro.

Complimenting the menu, Urbana’s bar offerings include tequila and Mezcal favorites as well as top shelf agave spirits and a spin on craft cocktails.

Day of the Dead mural walls handmade by graffiti artist Samir Evol pay tribute to Javier’s Michoacán upbringing where Dia de los Muertos is celebrated. And calacas are hanging in made by an old man from Michoacán who makes them once a year for ‘dia de los muertos’ out of paper mache.

Open 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily; bar open till midnight.

The Anaheim Packing District at 440 S. Anaheim in Anaheim. 714.502.0255.
