Palms and Vegas Test Kitchen create pop-up restaurant to feature local chefs
Vegas Test Kitchen and the newly reopened Palms are joining to present Greene St. Test Kitchen, a pop-up restaurant space, on Fridays and Saturdays in June and July.
Each weekend, Greene St. will host a pop-up concept featuring a prix fixe menu created by Vegas chefs:
— June 10-11: Binky’s by chef Josh Bianchi will offer rustic Italian American dishes with French flourishes.
— June 18-19, 24-25 and July 1-2: Makatas by chefs Bryan Tejada and Gary FX LaMorte will showcase “healthy, social and succulent” Pinoy-inspired dining.
— July 8-9, 15-16, 22-23 and 29-30: Mamasan by chef Crystina Nguyen mingles Polynesian, Chinese and American cuisines to create a modern take on puupuu platter cooking.
“We are looking forward to seeing the Vegas community when we open on June 10 and to present these wonderful chefs that each bring a unique flair to their style of cooking,” said Jolene Mannina, owner of Vegas Test Kitchen, a downtown spot where chefs try out and serve new dishes and concepts.
The Greene St. pop-ups also will feature live music. Dinners are $59 with a welcome cocktail. Visit greene-st-kitchen.resos.com/booking for reservations.
