Owner and Founder, Terry Heller of Plan Check Kitchen + Bar follows the company policy with each new location featuring a nod to ethnic neighborhood fare. The K-BBQ BURGER ($15) honors its Korean neighborhood home with a grilled pork belly, kimchee, sprouting onion, gochujang bbq sauce, sesame salt and fried onions.

His fourth, and already very lively, Santa Monica place right off the ocean features eleven new original dishes and drinks inspired by the eastern seacoast, as another example.   “The re-conceptualized flavors inspired by the culinary roots of the surrounding neighborhood,” says Heller.The culinary team, led by Executive Chef Sean Yontz—curates a selection of seafood-focused appetizers and entrées ($3-28) that complement Plan Check’s signature lineup of towering burgers, loaded fries, and innovative condiments ($15 and up).

The new plates include twists on traditional seaside dishes of New England and the Southern Gulf, such as lobster rolls and hot fish sandwiches, amplified by ingredients commonly found across the pond in Japanese and Korean kitchens, such as kombu, ponzu, and gochujang.

They include:

Chowder Fries – housemade clam chowder, bacon, celery, and steamed littleneck clams in the shell
·         Nashville Hot Fish Sandwich – crisp mahi-mahi, Kaffir lime slaw, kombu pickles, and cayenne
·         Plan Check Lobster Roll – Kewpie mayo, gochujang, shallots, Key lime, and chives
·         Korean Cioppino – mussels, clams, calamari, shrimp, gochujang, and a soju bomb
·         Hamachi Crudo – apple, cucumber, radish, candied ginger, crispy shallot, and lemongrass-serrano ponzu
·         Lobster Pot Pie – curried lobster bisque, baby beets, green beans, corn, carrots, and potatoes
