Prepping Food for Hungry Central Coast Customers

The perfect meal starts with high-quality ingredients and food preparation. Splash Café sources fresh meat, seafood, and produce from local businesses and farms. That dedication expands to all of our products, including our spice rubs and Carrot Pepper Hot Sauce (which is made from peppers grown right here on the Central Coast at Talley Farms).

All of our line cooks chop, portion, and season hundreds of items a day to prepare incredible meals from open to close. They are also trained to maintain our high standards for food safety and sanitation to ensure our customers’ health and happiness.

Frying and Grilling and Baking, Oh My!

Once the food is prepped, it’s cooking time! Our line cooks have developed a finely tuned process for turning out a high volume of mouthwatering meals using industrial fryers, grills, ovens, and kettles (we’ll get into that next). To add a finishing touch, they make sure that all Splash Café food is seasoned with our signature spice rubs.

For fried food, we use our Smoky Chimi, which combines the fresh flavors of sweet basil and parsley with thyme, smoked paprika, citrus and garlic to create some herbaceous flavors. Our grilled seafood is seasoned with Smoky Citrus, which mixes the bright flavors of citrus with smoked paprika, dill, and garlic. And all of our barbecued food (tri-tip and burgers) pack an extra punch with our Smoky Espresso, which has cumin, three kinds of chilis, and rich espresso.

Making Our Award-Winning Clam Chowder

Next up, our line cooks are responsible for cooking Splash Café’s World Famous Clam Chowder. This tasty seaside classic is what put us on the map and continues to make Splash Café a Central Coast landmark, so it has to be perfect every time.

Using  20-gallon kettles, our line cooks combine fresh celery, potatoes, and other vegetables and stir in only fresh California cream with three types of clams. The final result is rich, sweet, and creamy with a touch of ocean breeze. To complete the Splash Café Experience, it’s served in freshly baked sourdough bread bowls straight from our bakery in SLO.
