The Plot’s “Plantscape” Dinner Series Returns to Costa Mesa
07.19.24
Proudly plant-based and zero-waste, The Plot is thrilled to announce the return of its tasting menu dinner series, Plantscape. This innovative dining experience will take place at The Plot Costa Mesa on Wednesday, July 24, with seatings starting at 4 p.m.
Led by The Plot’s Executive Chef Davin Waite, alongside Chefs Rachel Hurley, Travis Roe, and Jade Chiu, and featuring renowned guest chef William Eick from Oceanside’s Matsu (San Diego Magazine’s “Best Japanese Restaurant” 2022, 2023), the dinner series embraces the theme of “land fruit and sea vegetables.”
The focus will be on locally sourced and foraged seaweed from culinary and sustainability innovators Blue Evolution and Monterey Bay Seaweeds. This edition of Plantscape offers a playful and unexpected six-course meal featuring locally grown ingredients, many sourced from The Plot’s Oceanside backyard garden. The culinary team will utilize cutting-edge techniques such as total utilization and dry aging, promising a delightful and satisfying meal that showcases The Plot’s full potential. Each chef will bring their unique creativity to the courses, providing a distinctive culinary experience.
The Plot’s dedication to sustainability and culinary excellence has earned them accolades, including ranking #2 on Tasting Table's “20 Best Restaurants in San Diego” and mentions in San Diego Magazine's “San Diego Best Restaurants of 2024” and VegOut’s “Most Sustainable Restaurants Nationwide.”
Guests can pair their dinner with a selection of natural wines and sake, thoughtfully curated to enhance the chefs' culinary creations. The meal will begin with a signature house cocktail, highlighting The Plot’s sourcing philosophies.
Tickets for Plantscape are $102 per person, with natural wine and sake pairing options available for an additional $35. Ticket purchases and reservations can be made via OpenTable.
