Chef: Davin Waite
Chef Davin Waite is the visionary chef behind the acclaimed Oceanside restaurants Wrench and Rodent Seabasstropub and The Plot. Known for pushing the boundaries of sustainable cuisine, Chef Waite has built a reputation for his bold creativity and deep commitment to responsible sourcing. From pioneering zero-waste practices to working closely with local farmers and fishermen, his cooking reflects a belief that incredible food can also be thoughtful, ethical, and deeply connected to the land and sea.
At Wrench and Rodent, Chef Waite reimagines sushi through a sustainable lens, highlighting underutilized fish and inventive flavor combinations. At The Plot, his entirely plant-based concept, he continues to challenge convention by crafting dishes that celebrate vegetables in their most vibrant and expressive forms.
We’re honored to welcome Chef Waite back to Sage Hill Ranch Gardens, where his passion for local ingredients and creative expression aligns perfectly with the spirit of the farm.
