Having been to Noma and its popups - I love the popups slightly more. This is going to be a reservation shitshow but I’m ready

Will it be more or less than Somni? I say more.
Not particularly interested myself, but that’s going to be a harder reservation to get than Hayato. Good luck @Rodeogig!

Anyone know what the “sushi counter inside a gas station” is? (Referenced in the email upon signup)
So if I thought Damian LA was a bust, and heard mixed things about Alinea LA, this is still worth considering? It’s not a watered down restaurant travels to another city kind of thing?
circle k?

Not at all. I did Japan and Mexico and it was as full fledged service as you could hope for. They plant themselves in the space/the city for months. The build out is a proper build out. They also get to do a few weeks of friends and family so shit is TIGHT before regular diners are coming thru the space.

Wasn’t there a place in the valley that was like this? can’t remember off of the top of my head but we sure have plenty of strip mall sushi
Very different than those two LA pop ups. My sister and her Fiance are big Noma fans and have done Tokyo and Mexico and raved about both. Now they aren’t exactly FTC level eaters, but if you want to experience Noma this is likely to be very much worth your while.

Dear friends and guests,
I have cooked and tasted ingredients from all over the world, and then I landed in LA for the first time…
The vast Pacific. Farmers markets bursting in the middle of January. A world-class taco for breakfast, and mind-blowing Thai in an alleyway for dinner. The best food can come from a parking lot or a $300 tasting menu. A sushi counter inside a gas station. A perfect Oaxacan mole out of a strip mall. A great-grandmother’s Kimchi soup recipe at 2AM in Koreatown.
A city of contrasts—where things that “shouldn’t” go together (like a Danish Albanian in Los Angeles?) collide and become something surprising and exceptional.
What could it mean to cook in a place where everything seems possible?
To have the opportunity to learn from the people, cooks, farmers, fishermen, and foragers of this pulsating place – the cutting-edge regenerative farming in the Central Valley, olive groves in Ojai, a coast lined with vineyards and seafood to be explored; an entire desert growing flavour…backyard citrus trees bursting with fruit and plump figs strung across freeway overpasses?
To cook here is to experiment, to remix, to exceed our own limits. To step into nature like it’s the very first time.
What could happen if we apply our way of thinking, creating and dreaming to this landscape?
We’re about to find out.
