A Health Foodie Will Always Follow The Source Family News
A Health Foodie Will Always Follow The Source Family News - Ever heard of pop-up restaurants? To a health foodie it might not sound like a good choice or something you would seek. Pop-up restaurants (or underground restaurants) are temporary restaurants. Operations occur in environments like music or arts and crafts festivals, private homes, old warehouse or factory. Sometimes they are called guestaurants.
The idea (especially for young chefs making their bones) is to experiment with new dishes and get them out to the public to sample. Many times high cuisine items at a very low cost to the customer. This in turn gives the chef direction & confidence in his menu to advance plans for a successful brick-and-mortar restaurant.
The Source Restaurant is Reincarnated!
The Source Restaurant (as you may have read in recent posts) was a health foodie restaurant on Sunset Blvd. in LA during the 1960s and 1970s. Actually, some say that it is the first health food restaurant. They may be right. Whatever the case, it was very, very popular. With regulars of the restaurant being John Lennon, Warren Beatty and Marlon Brando it was a very hip & cool place to be seen, as well.
