If you’ve never eaten at a restaurant with no actual location (pop-up!), here’s you’re chance. For the first time in Orange County, chef Ryan Carson will be hosting his touring restaurant, ‘Pri-vē, at Taco Asylum. Taco Asylum is a gourmet taco restaurant at The CAMP in Costa Mesa that pulls from a wide array of global cuisines, showcasing ingredients ranging from Mediterranean-style grilled octopus to East Indian-style curried paneer.
‘Pri-vē is an 11-course taste extravaganza which will start at $99 per guest – This extremely limited release will feature nightly tastings at 7 PM on Sunday, February 12 to Tuesday February 14. The menu will focus on “post modern American” dishes with global influences. Chef Carson intends to transport guests back to their childhood by using playful inspirations paired with classic, sophisticated disciplines. The menu will include creations such as champagne and caviar, hiramasa, octopus mosaic, foie gras, otter pop, and buzz button. A selection of wines will be available for course pairings, along with taco asylum’s choice of craft beers, at an additional cost.
