In recent days, South of Beale has offered a Bangkok Alley pop-up in East Memphis, there’s been a Kinfolk pop-up at Kuya Downtown and Ouri Matcha has been popping up all over the place.
Those pop-ups often lead, in the short-term, to creative menus, excited patrons and increased revenue as well as, in the longer term, to new restaurants.
Food writer Sophia Surrett is here today to talk about why pop-ups are so popular among chefs and restaurateurs.
