Open wide…
Jason Quinn’s Playground is about ready to open up shop. According to his Facebook page, Quinn is going to have sort of a soft opening this Saturday, Nov. 5, during the Santa Ana Art Walk. He won’t be open yet but will be letting folks have a sneak peek at his new restaurant. Their grand opening has been set for Nov. 18-20.
Quinn is famous for his Lime Truck, which was featured on the Great Food Truck Race in the Spring of 2011. You can read about his vision for Playground on his new website. Apparently his dad helped fund the new business.
Quinn has assembled a very talented team, that you can read about here. Their team includes Brad Radack, Karl Pfleider, and April Ventura.
Their menu is amazing. Have a look:

A $14.00 burger - I will stick with the Habit burgers - $10.00 total for 2 people with fries and a drink.
Although, the poutine does sound interesting. I haven't seen poutine on a menu south of Quebec, Canada. This frog is going to have to give that a try.
Junior, while the burger sounds expensive (not compared to some, like Crow Burger or even Crosby, Chapter One or Lola Gaspar), you should save up and try it once. We're housegrinding fresh Wagyu (Kobe) beef, known for its lusciousness with dry-aged rib-eye, which will add that rich, mature beef flavor. As we grind the combined beef, we maintain its long grain by forming it into a long cylinder of perfect meat called a torchon. This is then cut as patties are needed. We believe that there are sound culinary reasons for maintaining the consistent, perpendicular grain of the meat and we love the mouth feel and texture when we bite into it. So you've got the best meat, freshly ground in a painstaking and labor intensive manner in a burger cooked by a chef who puts love into every dish he serves. At least once, it will be worth $14.

Bob - Thanks for the low-down - it sounds scrumpciuos - I will have to try it. I had a $14.00 burger at Zov's - that one was rank.
Another question - how does a mick come up with the French Canadian dish poutine? Is yours true to the frog canuck tradition?
