There’s something really special, and satisfying, about growing your own food. 🌱

You can taste the difference, and nothing compares to watching something you’ve planted go from seed to a fully grown vegetable, fruit, herb or leafy green — like kale.

Chef Davin spends hours in the garden every week: planting, watering, weeding, trimming, harvesting, and paying attention to what the garden needs and what might spark the next dish. It’s a lot of work and it doesn’t always look pretty… but it gives him and our culinary team the chance to grow delicious things, cook with them, and share them with you at the table. Feeding our friends, family, guests and community… that’s what makes it all worth it ❤️

The sun’s out and so are our tacos ☀️🥕

Smoked Carrotfish Tacos with kimchi slaw, cilantro crema, sweet potato mousse, and a fresh squeeze of lime are what we’re craving for lunch! Smoky, bright, a little creamy, a little tangy — basically everything we want in one bite!

They’ve been a crowd favorite for years and we honestly can’t get enough!

Come grab a couple, add a cold drink, soak up some sun, and hang with us! 🌱

Happy Father’s Day!! At The Plot, we spend a lot of time talking about growth. Gardens grow. Communities grow. Families grow…. and often, that growth begins with the people who lift us up.
 
Today we’re grateful for the dads, grandpas, mentors, and father figures who gave us strong roots, steady support, and the confidence to keep growing.
 
From our family to yours, thank you for helping us grow.
 
Much love, The Plot Fam ❤️🌱

Fried Chickën + Cornbread 🔥🌱
— one of our favorites for lunch and dinner!

Citrus cornbread made from scratch with heirloom corn, fried tofu chickën, and pear scrap honëy to finish it all off.

It’s hearty, comforting, crispy, golden… and hits that sweet/salty/savory balance just right! Have you tried it yet? 🤩

Lunch Tasting Menu Is Here 🍽️🌱

This is something we’ve been wanting to do for a while, and Chef Davin is pretty stoked to bring it to daytime service.

3 courses, starting with bread and dips: sourdough focaccia made from scratch by Chef Josh, house pickles (including Chef Davin’s favorite romaine hearts), olives, and whatever beautiful things we’re pulling from our garden.

It’s a fun way to come in for lunch, try a few things we’re working on, and get a taste of what’s growing, changing, and inspiring us right now.

Available weekdays from 11am–3pm.

POV: you’re spending the weekend with us 🌱

We’ve got so many exciting things happening right now, and we’re stoked to share them all with you. Our chefs have been hard at work — in the kitchen, in the garden, and everywhere in between… pulling inspiration from all the abundance growing around us.

The garden is beaming with squash, fresh herbs, tomatoes, kale, and so much more. We’ve got a brand new tasting menu, a few new additions to our dinner menu, and brunch doing what brunch does best all weekend long.

Mostly, we just love when you’re here with us. So come in, grab a few bites, have a few laughs, slow down for a minute, and fuel up with good food.

Plantscape is a wrap! 🌱🔥

Thank you to everyone who came out and joined us for an evening of food, creativity, community and fire! We had such a blast hanging with you, and celebrating all the things we love most: plants, connection, and a little bit of beautiful chaos.

Huge love to our entire team for making it happen — our chefs in the kitchen, our crew out front, everyone behind the scenes, and our friend Chef Tony from Scratch House for jumping in with us.

It was an amazing night in the garden, cooking over fire (and a shopping cart) and feeding all of you. We hope you had as much fun as we did, and we can’t wait for the next one ❤️

Part of the “FEEDING THE R(E)VOLUTION PODCAST” hosted by , the “Waite a Minute” series is where Jessica and Davin Waite break down what’s happening in food, sustainability, and the world around us. Short, real, and to the point.
