R. House's Rotating Kitchen Will Allow Chefs to Test Out Different Dishes

— August 16, 2016 — Business
The highly-anticipated food hall 'R. House' recently announced plans to create a pop-up kitchen that will give chefs a place to test out different dishes. In recent years, pop-ups have become a popular way for chef to experiment with dishes that they might not be ready to add to their permanent menu. This rotating kitchen concept will give chefs a new place to test out their latest concepts.

The pop-up kitchen will be a permanent stall located in Baltimore's R. House food hall. The pop-up kitchen will allow chefs to set up shop for anywhere from one week to two months at a time. During this time, chefs will be able to test out new ideas and also gain exposure in a new market without the commitment of opening up a restaurant.

With 350 seats inside the new food hall, the chef-driven pop-up will provide a great venue for testing experimental dishes.

Trend Themes

  1. Pop-up Kitchens — More food halls and markets will incorporate pop-up kitchens to provide chefs the opportunity to test out new dishes in a low-commitment setting.
  2. Rotating Kitchens — Restaurants may create rotating kitchen concepts to test out new menu items without having to commit to a permanent change in their menu.
  3. Chef-driven Pop-ups — More chefs will be able to expose their experimental dishes to new markets with the help of chef-driven pop-up kitchens in food halls and markets.

Industry Implications

  1. Food Halls — Food halls will play a bigger role in providing chefs a stage to showcase their experimental dishes in a low-commitment setting like rotating or pop-up kitchens.
  2. Restaurants — Restaurants may have more luck drawing in crowds with rotating kitchen concepts and by testing out new menu items with pop-up kitchens.
  3. Marketplaces — Marketplaces may differentiate themselves and draw in more visitors by offering food experiences that aren’t typically found in traditional restaurants, such as chef-driven pop-up kitchens.
