For nearly a year now, we’ve been thinking more about takeout food than we used to. Local restaurant owners have been thinking a LOT more about it, and many have taken a deep dive into things such as take-away containers, microwave settings, and menu shifts.
At Fork and Knife in Costa Mesa, the plan was always to provide gourmet to-go meals. But co-owner Jonathan Blackford discovered there were some surprises. “Everyone in the country is using the same to-go containers, and they are so expensive. We’re spending about twice what I budgeted for to-go containers,” he says. And it’s not just the price, but availability issues are also a challenge. “This is going to sound ridiculous, but I bought a new truck just so we could have extra space for the containers. It’s not like I can buy one case and the next week buy another. They might be out, so I have to buy five cases and then store it.”

We’ve rounded up goodies hiding in plain sight, such as chefs’ favorite dishes at their restaurants, as well as other treats that started quietly in the past year elegant tasting dinners at Knife Pleat or the all-takeaway gourmet menu from Jonathan Blackford at Fork and Knife.
