Coming Soon: K-Town - Gizzi Erksine's New Korean Pop-Up

Koreatown New York

By Malika Dalamal

Last week we told you about our recent obsession with Korean food. Today the Evening Standard reported that celebrity chef and TV presenter Gizzi Erksine is launching a pop-up eatery inspired by New York's Korean quarter. (Trend alert?)

Open for 2 nights only from October 10-12 in Concrete (basement of Pizza East) in Shoreditch, she has created a 5-course menu which includes a Southern twist on Korean fried chicken and plans to make the space feel 'as much like a dirty 1980s backstreet Korean joint as possible - lots of neon and steam, a stage with long communal tables and food thrown at you.'

Why Korean? Erskine grew up in Thailand and feels most at home in Asia. Book now - we predict this one will be a sell out.

K-Town, Concrete, 56 Shoreditch High Street, E1 6JJ. To book, e-mail bookings@concretespace.co.uk
