Robert Paetz’s Fat of the Land restaurant aims to open its second Orange County location on July 7 at the Centerview office campus at 2010 Main Street in Irvine.
Paetz first opened Fat of the Land, a tapas-inspired concept, in Santa Ana a couple years ago. The newest restaurant will operate in the former Maldon’s Brasserie space at the Eighteen Main food hall, between Rise Bagels and KIT Coffee.
“After the response we received in Santa Ana, opening a second location felt like the natural next step,” Paetz said in a statement.
Other tenants at the Centerview complex, owned by Emmes Realty Services with funds managed by Oaktree Capital Management, include Goldfinch, Izakaya Osen, SOL Mexican Cocina, Porch & Swing and The Trough.
“We believe their approach to food, design, and guest experience will make them an outstanding addition to Irvine’s evolving dining scene,” Justin Nguyen, executive vice president of asset management at Emmes, said.
