Hitchcock: The Pop Up Restaurant
The idea of a mobile restaurant, without an investment capital, a product of the economic crisis, came out after long discussions over the telephone between Kostas Gogos and Dimitris Xanthoulis in January 2012.
A “virtual” restaurant in real time though, with no base, which will be hosted in other places, more alternative, (museums, galleries, foundations etc.), or even in other restaurants.
The idea is to be provided each time a really “homemade” cooked menu, in a reasonable prices. Or else, food that the two non professional cooks would wish to eat if they were clients in another restaurant. It is a kind of “common meal” – party, with good materials, for newly poor, artists, completely losers, celebrities or not, visitors by accident, strange people, newly rich, etc.
Later on, friends that live in New York, told us, that is something very common there and is called, Pop – up restaurant, meaning a “nomadic” restaurant that pops out from nowhere. We liked that idea a lot, so in the somewhat surreal title of the restaurant (Hitchcock), an outcome of awkwardness, taken from a randomly open and old “Athinorama” magazine, the term “pop-up restaurant” was added.
The menu, which usually has a theme, is dedicated each time to a different country, (Thailand, Middle East, Morocco etc.)
The first stop of this absolutely experimental project is the bar – restaurant at the Michael Cacoyannis Foundation, (MCF Bar – Resto), where is going to be hosted once a week – every Wednesday.
The new, specific dates on which the mobile restaurant Hitchcock: The Pop Up Restaurant is going to be at the MCF BAR | RESTO, as well as its menu will soon be announced here.
