a taste of home
07.26.25
Welcome to Part VIII.
It’s good to be back in La Puente. After spending the last few weeks in Mexico working on our new concept—Paninoteca, an Italian-inspired bar and restaurant—we’re feeling so ready to cook for you again. There’s something grounding about coming back to Campo, a special place in our hearts. Nights like these remind us why there’s nothing quite like coming home—and nothing quite like sharing it with all of you.
Tonight’s menu is a blend of stories—some old, some new. You’ll find dishes pulled from chef’s childhood favorites, a few that have earned their place as Campo classics, and a theme that leans into everything we love about summer in Southern California.

Menu Highlights :
Lobster Spaghetti: Inspired by a dish Chef first fell in love with at Faith & Flower—a spot his brother took him to during his culinary school days. This version features his favorite protein, paired with a rich lobster fumet and San Marzano tomato based, tossed with fresh hand-spun spaghetti and finished with cream, basil, and shaved Parmigiano Reggiano. A nostalgic favorite, reimagined.
Wood Roasted Lechón: Our take on lechón, with a California twist. This rolled Duroc pork belly is brined with apples and aromatics, stuffed with a ginger-scallion mixture, and slow-roasted in our wood oven until perfectly crisp and tender. Served with a sweet, acidic pork jus to balance the richness—and to cut through the kimchi fried rice. Inspired by a visit to Ohio and a memorable dinner at The Pearl, where steak and kimchi fried rice sparked the idea to recreate this dish Campo-style.
Gaucho Asado: Honorable mention for this bold Argentine-inspired feast featuring our signature 25-day, dry-aged, 24 ounce ribeye, house-made Argentine chorizo developed exclusively in house and vibrant bone marrow chimichurri to bring it all together.
Banana Tres Leches: A nostalgic nod to Chef’s favorite childhood treats—banana milkshakes and classic tres leches. This dessert blends both memories into one sweet, creamy finishing note.
Uly & Adri’s Drink Recommendation :
Bramble Smash: Larceny bourbon, fresh lemon, house rosemary syrup, and muddled blackberries—shaken and served over ice. Finished with a sprig of rosemary and a twist of lemon. Bright, herbaceous, and summer-ready.
Gin & Flora: Bright and botanical, this cocktail blends Citadelle gin with elderflower liquor, crisp cucumber, and fresh lime for a refreshing floral finish.
As always - have a drink, share a plate, and enjoy.
