Laguna Beach Pro Skateboarder Partners With CA Eatery Urban Plates

ORANGE COUNTY, CA — A California eatery is teaming up with one Laguna Beach pro skateboarder to bring a new collaboration to residents across the state.

Fast-casual restaurant Urban Plates is partnering up with six-time world champion and 13-time X Games gold medalist Nyjah Hustin with a new dish designed to inspire guests to "fuel their best," according to an Urban Plates news release.

The "Nyjah Bowl" offers a flavor-packed combination of grilled chicken with Gochujang sauce, roasted sweet potatoes with grilled red pepper and onions, charred broccoli and wakame, served over cauliflower fried rice and topped with microgreens. The new bowl will be available at all 17 Urban Plates locations throughout California for $13.

“The main reason why I love Urban Plates and why I think other people who haven’t tried it yet will too, is the great tasting food,” Hustin said in a news release. “It’s affordable, it’s quick, and it makes you feel good. It’s healthy food that gives you good energy.”

Hustin, who currently lives in Laguna Beach, is a frequent diner at Urban Plates restaurants and made the first move for the partnership last summer, a spokesperson for Urban Plates said.

From there, Hustin suggested the idea of working together to develop a dish that was propelled by Hustin's desire to make his fans aware of the importance of fueling themselves with wholesome and nutrient-rich dishes.

“I always ate healthy meals growing up thanks to my mom’s cooking,” Hustin said. “That’s what I love about Urban Plates. Eating healthy is a big part of my success and their food is wholesome, nutritious, and made from scratch.”
