Populaire’s Prix-Fixe Menu Inspired by Tina - The Tina Turner Musical

Chef Nick Weber of Populaire at South Coast Plaza has created a three-course gastronomic tribute to the life and music of iconic performer, Tina Turner, available nightly during the July 11-23 two-week run starting at 4 p.m. of the Tony Award-winning musical at Segerstrom Center for the Arts.

Weber, a music fan, has crafted a culinary journey naming dishes for Turner’s hit songs such as Be Tender with Me Baby (heirloom tomato, ricotta maison, jambon de Bayonne crumble), Nutbush City Limits (select either Duroc pork belly or swordfish, Nardello peppers, hazelnuts, charred soubise, black garlic) and Proud Mary Reprise (Paris Brest --  white chocolate crémeux, peaches, pistachio).  

The menu is served starting at 4 p.m. and is $55 with optional wine pairings $25, exclusive of tax and gratuity.  Reservations advised.
