Television streaming channel Netflix is set to open a limited time only pop-up restaurant in LA's Short Stories Hotel featuring a range of popular chefs and personalities from its shows. The new and likely pretty exclusive eatery, is to be titled Netflix Bites and will feature names such as Nadiya Hussain, of Nadiya Bakes, Rodney Scott and Ann Kim, from different Chef's Table series, as well as Dominique Crenn who featured on last year's show Iron Chef: Quest for an Iron Legend.
These culinary legends, together with a whole host more, will team up to create a special tasting menu that features bites which show off their unique specialties, giving fans and foodies alike a one-of-a-kind restaurant experience. Then to top it all off, fan-favourite mixologists from Netflix's Drink Masters — including Frankie Solarik, Julie Reiner, LP O'Brien and Kate Gerwin — will craft custom cocktails for the drink menu.
"Bringing my love of food to people across the world is one of the biggest thrills of my life but this screen-to-table experience of giving fans a taste of what happens on camera is just awesome. The talented chefs and mixologists assembled means there is something for everyone, and I'm wildly excited that my team at Curtis Stone Events is involved in bringing NETFLIX BITES to life," said Michelin-starred chef Curtis Stone.
"Netflix is already a destination for beloved food programming, from documentaries to competition shows," said Josh Simon, VP, Consumer Products. "From episode to entrée, with NETFLIX BITES we are creating an in-person experience where fans can immerse themselves in their favorite food shows. We are excited to collaborate with these incredible chefs who will bring this vision to life and showcase an array of their delicious menus."
Netflix Bites is the latest of many experiential activations which bring to life our favourite shows from television, through immersive interactions, retail experiences and now through food too. The pop-up will open from 30th June and run through until 13th July. More information, including bookings, can be found at www.netflixbites.com.
