Rustic Canyon Restaurant 07.01.2021

What's New Year's Eve dessert without fancy gold flecks in your ice cream? We're using our housemade Carrot Cake Ice Cream to make you a baller Ice Cream Sundae. There's more where that came from! In addition to our usual #GrinAndBearItLA menu, we're serving festive (yet comforting) NYE specials, like a 2 pound Beef Rib with black truffle sauce, Black Apron Biscuits with Tsar Nicolai sturgeon caviar, chicken liver mousse & accoutrements, and what's become a holiday tradition... at Rustic Canyon, our Cotechino & Lentil Stew. Polish it off with bottles of bubbles and other rare gems from our cellar, as well as Southern-inspired cocktails like a Kentucky Mule with bonded moonshine, fresh ginger, peach bitters & soda. Visit https://buff.ly/38DTMzm for a full NYE Menu. To pre-order, call us starting at 2:30pm daily or go online through @tockhq. You can also order delivery through your favorite service like our Rustic Canyon Family app.

Rustic Canyon Restaurant 20.12.2020

We're closed for Christmas Eve & Christmas Day #GrinAndBearItLA will be back in action on Saturday, December 26. If you're tired of holiday leftovers, you can always pre-order our à la carte dinner menu and Meat & 3 Dinners through Tock. Remember, everything's better with wine, beer & cocktail to-go!

Looking for the perfect bottle to pair with your takeout order tonight? This spicy, French Cab Franc comes from a producer who has been making wine in the Loire valley since the 17th century. Pair this juicy, balanced wine with the tried & true combo of our Ribs with a sidecar of Mac & Fancy (French!) Cheese - see what we did there? For $35, this crushes anything you can get off the shelves of most stores.

Rustic Canyon Restaurant 23.11.2020

Snag a bottle of Land of Saints to pair with our Pimento Cheese Flatbread. It's made by Angela Osborne, her husband Jason and their friend Michael Cuevas. There's a lot to love about this California Pinot, including the $30 price tag

Our Bar Manager Justin Dicken is always pushing for new recipes and techniques in our cocktail program. Naturally, he added a #simplerc spin on Southern cocktail recipes as our kitchen created the #GrinAndBearItLA takeout menu. Choose from delicious concoctions, including Hurricane Blake (a rum blend with fassionola, tart cherry & fresh lime juice) or SoCal Comfort (mezcal, aji amarillo-infused tequila, orange sweet tea, fresh lime juice & Dolin dry) among other pre-batched options available to-go.

In case you were wondering, our favorite muscle car is the 1965 Pontiac GTO. It is the massive V8 engine that we admire most. So naturally, when we're trying to recreate the best Michelada possible, we had to make sure our Rustic "V8" Juice could live up to this legendary car. The juices in our blend were salted and the leftover pulp from the juicing process was added back during fermentation. Once the V8 became funkafied, it was strained. In true Rustic Canyon fashion, the solids were dehydrated, put through the molcajete and salted again for the rim.

We've got somethin' extra tasty to enjoy for takeout this week...Pimento Cheese Flatbread! We're making this "Chef's Whim" special with smoked sunchoke sourdough and topping it off with pickled cauliflower (which is fermented like giardiniera, with mirepoix, garlic, chili and oregano). Plus, we're using a generous amount of local cream cheese, Hook's aged cheddar, with salted Thai chilies, aioli, herbs and spices. #grinandbearitLA

The Rustic Canyon Family of Restaurants will be closing all of our businesses for the day on Election Day - November 3 - to give our employees time to vote and the opportunity of supporting the democratic process by helping others who might need help getting to the polls on that day. We will pay all regular scheduled staff for this day. We’ve put together internal newsletters in English & Spanish outlining all the official county & state election resources/deadlines, l...ike how to register, check voter status and view sample ballots with local measures & candidates. We've also provided links and suggestions for ways to support the voting process, like volunteering to be a poll worker, driving friends & family to a polling place and more. While our industry has been hit so hard during this time, we felt closing for the day to give our team the freedom and time to enact this right was absolutely vital to our community and the democratic process. We are grateful for the right to vote and want to do what we can to support this process as widely as possible. Now let’s rock that vote! #RCFamily #BetterTogether

Blackened Cod with Tomato Gravy. A great option for our seafood-loving friends! This dish is both spicy and smoky, offering etouffée flavors. The "gravy" is essentially a pomodoro with fish fumet. #grinandbearitla

Today we are turning 14 years old! You know what they saytime flies when you're having funin the kitchen. Though the most recent year has felt the longest and the hardest we’ve ever experienced (being a teenager is tough, even without a pandemic), we are truly grateful that we can celebrate yet another year at The Canyon. It’s because of our community of regulars, out-of-town visitors who make a special trek, our incredible farmers, and so many others, that we can continu...e doing what we love every single day. We look forward to the day when we can have you all back in our dining room. We miss the energy, the laughter, the conversations over beautiful wines and the smiles on your faces when trying a new dish. For now, we still have something to celebrate this incredibly dedicated and talented team. Some of them have been with us for years and some are new to our family, but all have worked tirelessly to keep things humming (or endlessly pivot, pivot, pivot). They’ve each contributed to what makes Rustic so special, and that’s truly something to be grateful for. Here’s to another 14 years! #simpleainteasy #simplerc See more
