Wouldn’t be surprised if Fox cuts ties with the RC group.

Is this based on intel or just a hunch? I know Fox is not an owner of RC group but he’s definitely been the most visible face of it for a long time. It would be a pretty big blow to the group if he split.

Wouldn’t it also involve cutting ties with…Rustic Canyon itself?
yeah, him cutting ties with the RC family seems like a stretch. they’re seemingly the most successful restaurant group in Santa Monica, even with the recent closures. Fox is chef/owner of both Birdie G’s and Rustic Canyon and a partner at RC family.

Hunch. Word is that the revenue sharing structure and the partner requirements make it challenging to break even in this market.

if he leaves Rustin Canyon, that restaurant will CLOSE in 2-3 years I guarantee.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Birdie G’s reopens in a smaller space with easier parking.

Wish it would take the empty Margot’s on Montana Ave…

We went last night and it was also a banger. Classic cold fried chicken from Momofuku Ko Bar (now served hot and dipped in frank’s red hot). Elijah’s dishes from Rustic Canyon were excellent also. Pretty great value for all the food. It’s a one night collab so not everything is going to be a hit, but people should take a chance on some chefs they don’t know. If I was in town I’d be going to Beau Schooler’s night. The big names might be sold out, but they were taking walk-ins on Monday night.
