Bred Nashville Hot Chicken — a Costa Mesa-based fast-casual concept by husband and wife Scott and Laura Kearse — will open another brick-and-mortar this fall at Dan Almquist’s incoming Rodeo at River Street marketplace.
The River Street Marketplace will be an off-shoot of Almquist’s two other food halls, Rodeo 39 in Stanton and Rodeo X in Ontario Ranch. The brand will also soon debut Rodeo 72 in Whittier.
“River Street Marketplace is a 60,000-sqft community destination in the heart of San Juan Capistrano,” explains the concept’s website. “Built in the Los Rios district, the oldest neighborhood in California, the marketplace features elevated agrarian architecture, broken up into smaller buildings designed around a central green.”
The space will feature modern dining concepts like Fermentation Farm and The Meat Cellar and Steakhouse, curated retail, local art, a butcher, and a full bar and brewery with shared communal tables for outdoor dining.
As for Bred’s, the brand operates both a food truck and brick-and-mortar that offer the duo’s famed Millionaire Mac n’ Cheese, juicy tenders, chicken n’ waffles, and Comeback Sauce, amongst a slew of other delicious, chicken-centric amalgamations.
