A restaurant paying homage to ‘The Golden Girls’
The Prime Video series isn’t the only one getting a pop-up on the streets of Los Angeles.
The legendary 1980s sitcom The Golden Girls has inspired a restaurant that will open this summer. While the exact dates have not yet been announced, the pop-up is expected to launch in July, once again in Los Angeles and more precisely in the very chic neighbourhood of Beverly Hills.
Named “The Golden Girls Kitchen,” the pop-up will take the form of a restaurant with a focus on desserts. On the menu, guests will find dishes inspired by the characters of the series such as Sophia’s lasagna, also available in vegetarian version, Blanche’s cookies, Dorothy’s sandwich with drinks like Tea Arthur Rose on Rosé. Other products will also be offered on the menu.
According to Deadline, the event may even feature collaborations with local chefs. Merchandise will also be on sale. The date for the launch of ticket sales will soon be revealed.
This isn’t the first time pop-ups inspired by cult series have generated buzz. In 2019, the series Beverly Hills 90210 gave rise to the Peach Pit, the famous diner seen in the series.
