Aussie Eatery Celebrates Four Years in Costa Mesa
Outpost Kitchen, the Aussie eatery in Costa Mesa celebrates four years with vibrant new additions to their breakfast and lunch menus. Inspired by the 1970s beach cafes of Australia, restaurateur Jay Lewis recreates the familiar feeling of a neighborhood meeting spot, the go-to place for clean, fresh food with Outpost Kitchen. Lewis recently announced his plans to open a second location this summer at 3420 Bristol St. in Costa Mesa.
To lead culinary operations for his growing brand, Lewis has tapped Executive Chef David Osborn who brings to Outpost Kitchen more than 30 years of culinary and operations experience. With a strong focus on California-grown & bio-dynamic produce, organic & humanely raised meats, and responsibly sourced, sustainable seafood, Chef Osborn artfully crafts dishes which highlight the integrity of their ingredients. Together, they’ve introduced a new menu of vibrant dishes, which now can be pre-ordered online.
