Sanrio® and Plan Check Kitchen + Bar Reunite for Gudetama™ Promotion and Menu from October 30 - November 29, 2015

Sanrio and Plan Check Kitchen + Bar are teaming up once again - this time to feature Gudetama, the lazy egg. The global lifestyle brand best known for pop icon Hello Kitty, and the hip L.A. neighborhood restaurant that specializes in modern takes on American comfort food, have partnered on an exclusive promotion for the newest member of the Sanrio family.

Starting October 30th and running through November 29th, Gudetama will take over all three locations of Plan Check Kitchen + Bar in the Fairfax, Sawtelle, and Downtown neighborhoods of Los Angeles. A specially developed Gudetama-inspired menu featuring a variety of egg dishes has been created by Executive Chef Ernesto Uchimura. The multi-course menu will include a crispy blanket egg, soy sauce egg, spicy pork belly sausage and miso aioli to start; followed by Gudetama sliders (two beef sliders sunny fried quail egg, cheese two ways, bacon two ways, ketchup leather & hot sauce), a chocolate custard pudding, an apricot thumbprint cookie and an orange-ginger egg cream soda.

The multi-course Gudetama x Plan Check menu will be available for $39 and will come with a limited edition Gudetama t-shirt. Gudetama will also make special restaurant appearances throughout the month.

Plan Check Kitchen + Bar and Sanrio first collaborated in late 2014 on a Hello Kitty®-inspired menu as part of Hello Kitty's Hungry Hunt - a promotion in celebration of the pop icon's 40th Anniversary. Hello Kitty's Hungry Hunt drew fans all over the city of Los Angeles, to scoop up Hello Kitty-themed food items.
