Rathbun’s Blue Plate Kitchen, the newest restaurant creation of Abacus and Jasper’s Executive Chef and Partner Kent Rathbun, is already on its way to establishing itself as the Mecca of affordable, casual cuisine for the Dallas area. A new dimension to the Rathbun family of highly-esteemed restaurants, his Blue Plate Kitchen is inspired by traditional family recipes and the Chef’s desire to establish a new conduit in food preparation and execution. A wide array of dishes such as the Dr. Pepper Mopped Rotisserie Chicken and MawMaw’s Buttermilk Pie puts a Rathbun spin on southern comfort food, while the Texas Artisanal Cheese Plate is the perfect example of the concept’s reliance on regional purveyors and the freshest Texas-grown products and ingredients. Featuring the best wines and produce, the menu at Rathbun’s Blue Plate Kitchen is a celebration of the entire cooking process, from the local harvest to exciting culinary creations that end up on your plate.
