The Trough | Our Story
From The Blind Pig to the sandwich counter
The team behind a beloved OC speakeasy asked a simple question: why can't a fast lunch be just as good as a sit-down meal?
The Blind Pig connection
The same crew that put The Blind Pig on OC's dining map built The Trough — real ingredients, genuine care, fine-dining DNA in every sandwich.
Why the sandwiches hit different
Slow-cooked meats with real bark, house-made sauces, and Dutch crunch rolls that hold together bite after bite.
The breakfast burrito legend
Crispy tater tots inside the burrito — not a side — plus pico de gallo and eggs that are never overcooked. OC's best, full stop.
Rancho Santa Margarita and beyond
What started as one spot by the lake in RSM now has guests showing up 3–4 times a week across South OC. That loyalty is earned, not bought.
What's coming next
The VIP program, the secret menu, new locations on the horizon — there's always a reason to come back. Try the Luau Bowl.
