Pop-up restaurants and supper clubs are popping up all across America, and TIME magazine profiled this trend and LCWA client PopUp Republic in a Feb. 16 edition story titled, “The Rise of PopUp Chefs.” The feature highlights the continued growth of these temporary dining venues in the U.S. and includesseveral quotes from Jeremy Baras, CEO of PopUp Republic, a Chicago-based social media marketing firm servicing the pop-up category. The feature also notes Baras’ inspiration for launching the company when, on a visit to London in 2011, he encountered a pop-up restaurant serving a multi-course gourmet dinner to patrons on the ferris wheel at The London Eye.
