London Is Home To A 200-Course, 24-Hour Pop-Up
From the same two English dudes who brought you breathable booze comes a pop-up serving 200 courses in 24 hours in London, according to the Evening Standard.
Aptly dubbed the 200 Club, the restaurant will serve a daylong meal (from September 3-4) that will be color-coordinated to appeal to all design-forward food fanatics. The pop-up is split into 10 different meals of 20 dishes each, with tickets for individual seatings starting at £49 ($76) on Bespoke. The Standard did some quick math and came to the conclusion that the entire 24-hour meal — for those who opt to go the entire way — will cost around an outstanding £1,000 ($1,564) and that a single course will average seven minutes and 14 seconds. We're not even sure if there will be time for bathroom breaks.
The Bespoke site states that the dishes will be bite-sized and that diners can "expect a tactile experience, with surprising presentation and intriguing ingredients."
