FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is a pop up dining event?
POP-UP (v): To appear or occur suddenly and unexpectedly.
A pop-up dining event is like a restaurant without walls - it can occur anywhere and lasts only for the length of the event. We may serve foodl in an abandoned loft, an ice cream parlor, an open field, or your private dining room. Pop-ups are about experiencing food in a new way and breaking down barriers between the food, the chef, and the guests.
Why did I receive an invitation?
One of our goals (beyond providing a one-of-a-kind dining experience) is to bring together a diverse group of thinkers, creators, and innovators to share ideas. We reach out to academics, artists, writers, doctors, scientists, foodies, chefs and interesting people across many other fields to keep the conversation around the kitchen table flowing.
