Pop up restaurants

Here is an interesting story I heard about on NPR this morn. Basically folks who want to run a restaurant but dont want to buy all the expensive cooking devices are renting out bakeries and whatnot during the evening on a temporary basis. Then through the miracle of the internet the foodies find these place and 'vala' instant trendy success.

This story focuses on trendy chefs but I think shows off the knife in the back of snobbery is the restaurant business. Now that word of mouth is so popular good food, not a chefs reputation or a french pedigree, will bring in customers. This makes me wonder if Haddies place could have been saved if it had just been born when there was an internet.

Quotes

At a certain stage the realization strikes through that one must either live outside of society's bonds or die of absolute boredom. There is no future or freedom in the circumscribed life and the only other life is complete rejection of the rules. There is no longer room for the soldier of fortune or the gentleman adventurer who can live both within and outside of society. Today it is all or nothing. To save my own sanity I chose the nothing.
