Dublin: Foodie flash mob

POP-UP restaurants are a whizz idea. Although hardly new, they chime with the times, combine the casual buzz of a dinner party with the thrill of a one-night-stand, and karate chop right through our cosy pairings of food and rooms.

They’re like foodie flash mobs. Think of Dublin’s Supper Club Project, Stephen Gibson and Matt Perry’s UpDn, or kamikaze, now-you-see-them-now-you-don’t guest chefs like Giles Clark (of the Young Turks), who cooked recently at the Cake Cafe.
