Fork & Knife Celebrates Grand Opening By GIving Back

Newly opened concept, Fork & Knife in Costa Mesa will celebrate its Grand Opening by giving back as it launches a weekly Paella offering on Friday, October 23 from 11:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.  Chef-Proprietor Jonathan Blackford will donate 50% of Paella sales to the Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center at USC, where his late-partner, Doug Garn, was treated before passing shortly after Fork & Knife opened its doors earlier this month.

During the fundraising event on October 23, Chef Blackford will introduce his signature Paella, which will be offered every Friday for pick-up between 11:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m.  Every week, Chef Blackford will present a different Paella, beginning with Seafood & Chorizo, cooked in a large traditional steel pan. The Paella is not available for pre-order, and will be sold first come, first serve for $28 per order.

Guests are also encouraged to pre-order from a new menu for Fork & Knife’s noted complete dinners to take home. These meals are offered online for pick-up Tuesday through Saturday with 24 hours advance notice. Changing bi-weekly, the menu will consist of house-baked Parker House rolls, appetizer, seasonal salad and side, entrée and dessert.

Open Monday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. (closed Sunday).

Fork & Knife is located at 401 E. 17th Street, Suite A2 in Costa Mesa.
