The Supreme Plate
By Laura Dyball
Since its beginnings as a culinary magazine five years ago, The
Supreme Plate has expanded, and become one of the best rated restaurant and
catering companies in the greater Los Angeles and Inland Empire areas. The roughly
1380 square foot restaurant, located in Rancho Cucamonga, was originally an
Indian spice market, but The Supreme Plate has left no trace of its location’s
previous business.
The cool, neutral palette, accompanied by pops of blue,
green and orange are a soothing combination, in comparison to the “turmeric”
yellow walls (as described by the owner) and brown floor tiles that filled the
suite in its market days. The lobby and dining room floors are now covered in beautiful
21 by 21 inch gray-brown Italian tile. Behind the counter and throughout the
kitchen, you will find the floors are covered in a custom gray epoxy with black
and blue flakes. The walls are all a clean white, which helps the restaurant
feel spacious and bright. However, the wall to the right of the counter
features a large mural of The Supreme Plate’s logo, adding color and interest
to the space.
The owner, Chef “Cheeba” Moscowitz, and Executive Chef “Roc”
Thompson, told me that they were involved in every aspect of the remodel. “We
did everything ourselves,” said Cheeba. “Disposed of the old materials
(including a giant deli meat counter) replaced the old electrical and plumbing,
laid the new tiles, painted, and put in all the new stainless steel
appliances.”
I found myself really impressed by these two gentlemen’s
overhaul of the space, especially since there were no public restrooms in the
suite when they took over. “It was all from scratch, the walls, everything.” Now
keep this between you and me, OK? The restrooms were hands down my favorite part
of the restaurant. Now, I’m in no position to purchase a home or condo (reality
of a poor college student), so seeing what was essentially my dream bathroom at
The Supreme Plate made me a little envious (no judging). The gray tiles they
used for the floor and walls, paired with gray wall paint, made these bathrooms
feel extremely modern, chic, and luxurious. The look is something straight out of
a design magazine.
I can only imagine that the remodel of this space was a
tough project for those involved, but I’m sure you’ll agree with me in saying
that the end result is outstanding. I believe this design, combined with their
delicious menu, will keep The Supreme Plate a favorite for years to come.
