Dinners at Marla Bakery, Presented by Yugen

Here is an interesting popup in San Francisco, at the Marla Bakery.


Dinners at Marla Bakery, Presented by Yugen  



Nato Inclinato: A Chinese Italian Dinner

"going to italian restaurants i have always wished i had brought with me a pair of chopsticks to eat the pasta dishes the way i would noodles. this memory of wanting was the birth of “nato inclinato”, which translates to born slanted.

the arrangements meld chinese and italian flavors, textures, and aesthetics by using their ingredients interchangeably. conceptually, they feel and taste as if they are cut from the same cloth. Hence, nato inclinato, the imagination of what dishes would come out of a complete amalgamation of the two cultures."

arrangements:
1_ MOUSSE and MELON
parmigiano reggiano, silken tofu, melon, prosciutto

two_ POTSTICKER
butternut squash, water chestnut, ricotta salata, cavalo nero, grappa

three_TANG YUAN
nian gao, mozzarella di bufala, tomato broth, basil, olive oil

four_ANIMELLE
sweetbreads, xo sauce, lotus root, xo sauce, pea

five_PORCHETTA
siu mai, pig, fennel, mustard, chicharron, sage, black vinegar, burro marrone

six_MAPO GARGANELLI

seven_RISOTTO

Bulleit Whiskey Woody Tailgate Trailer has popup style and lasting flavor

Bulleit Whiskey Woody Tailgate Trailer-image003-1  

Bulleit Whiskey has launched a national tour of lunch, cocktails and tastings, and they are doing it from their own pop-up tailgate trailer.

The trailer was originally designed for the Neiman Marcus Fantasy Gift Guide and retails at more than $150,000. Created by iconic designer Brad Ford, the Woody was created from re-purposed Bulleit barrels and features a fully stocked bar of Bulleit Bourbon, Rye and 10-Year. It’s been featured on The Today Show, CNN and more.

The Bulleit Whiskey Woody Tailgate Trailer experience varies depending on the event. For example, in Oakland they hosted the event at Peoples Barber Shop. During the popup event, Bulleit offered free haircuts and shaves to selected participants members. They also had complimentary Bulleit Bourbon cocktails as well as snacks. (All attendees must be 21+)

Pop-up Playbook from Eventbrite



Our good friends at Culintro have brought to our attention that our great friends at Eventbrite (which we use for all of our direct event ticket sales), have created a nice how-to for restaurants and bars considering holding their own pop-up event.

The compilation is called the Pop-up Playbook, and collects the advice of several experts for you to use. (BTW, they did not call on us, which is of course an oversight).

It also includes Toolkit to help you organize your popup event, such as this Popup Report on 'experiential dining.'

To view the Eventbrite Pop-up Playbook, go here.
