The next big foodie adventure: Canape!

I'm not a foodie... I'm more like a foodie wannabe.  However, I love good food, can't wait to try new things and enjoy sharing experiences with great people.  

Perhaps you caught the News at 6:30 earlier this week when I featured the newest foodie craze in Wilmington-- a pop up restaurant!  Apparently, it's a trend in bigger cities like LA and NYC.

Canape (small bites) is literally here today, gone tomorrow. 

How does it work?

Matthew Gould and Sean Pascarelli

The owners, Matthew Gould and Sean Pascarelli, take over a restaurant during a night it's closed.  They get a permit to act as a caterer would, and they hire people for just one night.

I really had a great time meeting the guys.  They're very talented and extremely energetic about this new venture.  Sean is a bread assistant at La Gemma and Matthew is a sous chef at Caprice Bistro.

Canape's first event is August 22nd, Monday at Manna.  That's at 123 Princess Street.  They'll be serving an 11-course meal!  
Nearly all of the pre-sold tickets are gone... but the guys say they'll pop up again in the fall.  Can't wait!
