Maeve’s goal here was to take food items that already exist, and do something totally different with them. This particular menu iteration took a lot of teamwork and multiple test batches it kept the staples of her old menu, but she felt ready to experiment and mix things up a little. The La Jolla restaurant’s brand new menu has made its debut, and we are loving it. New Menu: Fresh Favorites & Classic Comfort Food Ingredients are locally-sourced when they can be, and the entire team at the restaurant (including Maeve’s husband, Andrew) have full input when it comes to crafting the next menu. To this day, Chef Maeve creates everything on the menu completely from scratch, and takes much of her inspiration from her homeland in Ireland. While we waited for some new menu samples, the restaurant was buzzing with activity, and we got the chance to chat with Maeve about this year’s exciting updates her inspiration for the new menu and where she sees the bakery in five years. It was a sunny day when we stepped into Sugar & Scribe for lunch the doors were wide open, and we were greeted with Chef Maeve’s characteristically contagious grin as she came from the kitchen. Chef Maeve is a veritable force in the restaurant industry, and takes pride in having built her business from the ground up. Since its revamp and reopening in 2015, Sugar & Scribe has quickly become a La Jolla favorite: delicious baked goods, sandwiches the way your mom used to make them, and sweet treats, all infused with a touch of old-world Irish magic.
