First came Shake Shack, now there’s Crack Shack.
San Diego celebrity chef Richard Blais has signed a lease at the Westfield Century City Mall.
While the eatery is not slated to open until sometime in the spring of 2018, Blais – who shot to fame on Food Network’s “Top Chef” – has people raving about his fried chicken in San Diego and at his newly opened outlet in Costa Mesa in Orange County. The Westfield establishment will be the first Crack Shack in Los Angeles County.
Crack Shack says on its website that it highlights “a full bar program with craft cocktails, a thoughtfully chosen wine list, and curated local craft brews on tap. We believe in sourcing happy, pastured chickens fed all natural grain. We source Jidori Chicken from Southern California — our chicken comes to us fresh, never frozen. While many people talk the talk, using terms that are vague (like “natural”) or deceiving (like “cage-free”), we walk the walk by only using humanely raised poultry from small, local farms, allowed to roam freely on pastures and eat preservative- and antibiotic-free food. Beyond the chicken and eggs, we use top quality local produce sourced from boutique farms. Our menu transforms these ingredients into high-end culinary creations from the minds of chefs Richard Blais and Jon Sloan.”
