Pop-Up Culinary Experience To Hit Laguna Beach This Summer

LAGUNA BEACH, CA — Orange County residents on the market for authentic Thai street food can mark their calendars, as Montage Laguna Beach prepares to host a pop-up culinary experience this August.

Montage Laguna Beach's Studio Garden will transform into Talay, a signature pop-up culinary experience hailing from sister property Montage Los Cabos, located in Cabo San Lucas.

Talay is known for its vibrant outdoor setting, music curated by the head chef himself and authentic Thai dishes. The chef behind the dishes, Chef Marc Narongchai, will trade his Baja resort oasis in Cabo San Lucas for the cliffside setting of Montage Laguna Beach for a little over a month to share his distinct menu with Orange County residents.

The Bangkok-born Chef was hailed Food & Wine Mexico's Best New Chef of 2020 and brings a distinct and contemporary menu style along with creative spins on traditional foods of Thailand.

Narongchai's signature dishes include charcoal-grilled satay chicken, khao soi spicy crab noodles and the gaeng ka-ti yellow fish curry, according to the release.

"Talay is complete with fire-grilled favorites and cocktails inspired by one-of-a-kind Southeast Asian flavor," A Montage Laguna Beach news release said.

Orange County locals can experience Talay from Aug. 4 through Sept. 10 at Montage Laguna Beach's Studio Garden, 30801 S. Coast Highway.
