Inspired by nature, Wolvesmouth turns food into abstract art

For the ‘Wolf’ of the Los Angeles dining scene, food has always been the medium for a higher social purpose.

Wolvesmouth, AKA Arizona-native Craig Thornton, is the self-taught chef who emerged four years ago as part of the sweeping trend of underground supper clubs, serving up dishes inspired by raw nature and abstract art at his loft, Wolvesden. Diners could eat pork belly and lobster infused in squid ink with yams and green apples, or a rabbit croquet served with plantains, jicama remoulade and jerk sauce.
