New Brunswick clams are on the menu at The Rex Steakhouse following the launch of the new menu by the high-end California restaurant.
New Brunswick clams are integral to one of the latest additions to the menu at The Rex Steakhouse, a modern seaside steakhouse in Redondo Beach, California.
With Executive Chef Walter Nunez at the helm, The Rex is known for combining the finest ingredients – like authentic Sanuki Olive Wagyu, a rare breed of Japanese beef that is exclusively fed a diet of roasted olive pressings – with the mastery of the wood-fired grill and Californian flair.
Some of the additions to The Rex’s menu include but are not limited to:
- Clams Casino, a reinterpretation of Oysters Rockefeller featuring clams from New Brunswick, Canada, Nueske’s smoked pork belly, pecorino, and toasted sourdough
- A sumptuous Lobster Gnocchi made with yuzu, creme fraiche, preserved lemon and dill
- Spanish octopus grilled over white oak paired with smoked pureed Weissman Farms carrots, pickled fresno, shallot, and black garlic
- Grilled New Zealand lamb stuffed with fresh merguez sausage, served with an earthy rosemary and port demiglace
“At The Rex Steakhouse, we’re all about bringing an exciting culinary vision to the South Bay,” says Nunez. “Highlighting bold flavors, using the finest ingredients, and providing a welcoming ambiance to bring the luxury of an upscale steakhouse to the South Bay has always been our North Star.
“We’re excited to debut 9 new menu items that are a true reflection of our culinary evolution since our opening in 2021.
“In addition to the staples on our menu, diners can expect our newer dishes to feature rustic and warm flavors, more seafood options and composed dishes.
“As always, seasonal ingredients are the stars of our menu, which means we cultivate close relationships with the best vendors here in our backyard and around the globe.”
The Rex Steakhouse was recently named one of the best steakhouses in Los Angeles by Eater LA, and offers South Bay residents the joy of fine dining, without the fuss.
From The Rex’s wood-fired grilled surf and turf dishes to its hand-rolled pastas to its thoughtfully crafted cocktails, the restaurant aims to honor the important work of its farmers, fishermen, and butchers by showcasing their products as they were meant to be tasted.
