5) Pop Up Polygon: Take One
3rd June
What: Love great food? Love great wine? Love seeing five chefs and a sommelier run around like headless chickens trying to feed 42 people? The Polygon team will be hosting their first pop up restaurant for one night only! The meal will consist of 5 courses and snacks, a culmination of different chefs visions and skill.
Why: What everyone wants in a night of gourmet experimentation. Chefs that are so stressed they resemble the twitching corpses of freshly murdered farm animals.
