Another beautiful day at the beach! After a few hours of sun, sand, and surf you can really work up an appetite – fortunately, Newport Beach and Huntington Beach have an abundance of great places offering mouthwatering, creative eats that are conveniently located within walking or biking distance from the beach. No need to battle traffic or lose that parking spot, depending on where you’re staked out, mouthwatering eats are only a leisurely pedal or stroll away.<\/p>\n

One such place is Eat Chow 2<\/strong><\/span> in the Newport Shores neighborhood, bringing you the same excellent fare that Orange County foodies have been raving about since the \u00a02008 opening of Eat Chow<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0in Costa Mesa.<\/p>\n

Eat Chow\u2019s main goal is simple \u2013 to make its customers full and happy. And over the last four years, the owners and staff have been doing just that at their 18th Street, Costa Mesa location. But when the perfect little spot opened in Newport Shores – the team jumped at the chance to continue their mission and expand to the beach. Eat Chow 2 (EC2)\u00a0fits in perfectly with the laid-back atmosphere of its bayside neighborhood, creating just the friendly vibe Eat Chow prefers.<\/p>\n

Fried Green tomatoes | best.ever<\/p>\n

\u00a0While the new location will serve up the same favorites as the Costa Mesa spot \u2013 think everything from truffle mac n\u2019 cheese, warm curry chicken salad, and the French dip with made-from-love au jus, to Mexican chilaquiles, and the Reuben with homemade red cabbage sauerkraut \u2013 100s of new recipes are in the works. The Eat Chow team \u2013 Amy Curran, Francisco Perez and Brian McReynolds \u2013 are excited at the opportunity to test these out in the Newport location\u2019s state-of-the-art kitchen. To perfectly complement the adventurous recipes (everything from\u00a0ribeye burritos\u00a0 to almond-encrusted mascarpone French toast, along with \u00a0Southern, Japanese, Mexican, British and Cuban inspired dishes), the restaurant strives to use the best ingredients, and thus receives their ingredients daily to ensure freshness. Eat Chow\u2019s menu is a no-holds-barred, borderless array of international cuisine, each with the chef\u2019s fresh spin.<\/p>\n

Although, both locations share the same great objectives, the vibe and aesthetic experience at EC2 is uniquely it own \u2013 designed by Ross Morgan, the decor is inspired by a Danish, mid-century modern look, with warm, custom wood components, and beach-inspired color accents and earthy stone walls.<\/p>\n

I’ve happily dined at Eat Chow and am excited to have them a few miles down the coast from where I live in downtown Huntington. Talking with Eat Chow owners Amy Curran and Brian McReynolds at the recent Grand Opening, we were excited for them as they expressed their desire for continued success and appreciation of the communities that have embraced them whole-heartedly.<\/p>\n
