Set to open two eateries in Orange County before the end of the year, the first Bondi Grill House in California the US opened in Huntington's Bella Terra plaza yesterday. Named after an Aussie beach, Bondi's signature bite is a triple pounder of pork ribs that are secretly sauced and seared. I'm referring to the Bondisaurus (No, really).
The closest cuisine we might compare it to is Mozambique's Peri-Peri spot off MacArthur in Newport, with their South African Boerewors sausages, love of prawns and signature spicy Portuguese sauce. You'll spot similar menu items here, plus lamb burgers, salads containing beets and quinoa, even Bath and Body Works-sounding drinks like lavender hibiscus lemonade.

Open for lunch and dinner, expect their next spot at The Market Place (Tustin) to open by the end of the year. Here's to meat, meat and more meat!
Bondi Grill House is located at 7821 Edinger Ave, Ste 110, Huntington Beach, (714) 893-3565; www.bondigrillhouse.com.
