You are invited to sign up to attend the next great Food Adventure happening at UConn!
For the 2nd time, University Catering is offering a “Pop Up Dinner!”
What is a “Pop-Up Dinner?” It is an underground, random dinner held in a random location. “Pop-up” dinners are happening in big cities nationwide and now they are coming to UConn. Pop-up restaurants have been popular since the 2000s in Britain and Australia. “Pop up” dinners typically make use of social media to alert diners of their undisclosed location of the meal. In large cities “Pop-up restaurants”, are an effective way for young chefs to gain exposure of their skills in the culinary field. Pop-up restaurants have been hailed as useful for chefs, allowing them to utilize underused kitchen facilities. Here at UConn, Dining Services wants to utilize this concept in a fun way to show off the culinary talents of our catering staff.
