Gastro:Pop-Up
GASTRO:POP-UP was my first pop-up restaurant and it took place on June 30th, 2012. I featured a beer-pairing dinner that included 5 courses and a flight of 3 Fireman’s Brew beer. After a sold-out, successful event, we were invited to “Today in LA” for a 4th of July special! (NBC Channel 4 Los Angeles).

Thanks to everyone that came out!
I’ve posted pictures of the event HERE :)
Chef Alejandra Schrader from FOX’s popular show MasterChef presents GASTRO:POP-UP, an urban dining experience. After two successful pop-up food truck events in Venice, Alejandra goes into a unique setting in Downtown Los Angeles for her first sit-down, pop-up restaurant.
GASTRO:POP-UP‘s four-course prix-fixe menu will feature gourmet gastropub dishes made with the highest quality ingredients and artisanal food paired with a flight of Fireman’s Brew craft beers. It will take place at the Brewery Arts Complex in an amazing urban location. The setting will be casual and environmental-friendly with bamboo china and recycled paper products.
