Gastro Garage has been lighting up Los Angeles with their one-of-a-kind culinary creations and signature “Gastro Tanks” for three years. The catering crew is opening a 12-night pop-up in Hollywood, offering an interactive gastro experience. The Gastro Garage deconstructs classic dishes and reconstructs them into signature “Tanks,” made from brioche donuts that are filled with nitrous foam in a variety of flavors and then torched with gourmet toppings, finishing oils, purees and spices. You will be greeted by “Gastro Mechanics” in welding masks that will guide you through the process. Choose from a spot at the seated Gastro Bar and enjoy a front row view of the show with the chef’s choice, four-course “Torch Me” menu. You can also order any three tanks for $12 at the grab-and-go Gastro Counter and lounge. The pop-up space has been designed to look like a drive-through auto service bay with oil drums, hub cabs, vintage motorcycles and Rock ‘N’ Roll music and videos playing in the background. The pop-up menu will feature a selection of signature tanks, like Filly Tank with aged sharp white cheddar foam, torched New York strip, onion puree and truffle salt and the Cubano Tank with Gruyere foam, torched 12-hour slow roasted pork, applewood smoked ham, mustard caviar and dill plank, or sweeter options like the Campfire Tank, which is a take on traditional s’mores. The mechanics will be rolling out a brand new “drill bit” menu, where huge skewers of marinated specials like Korean short ribs, Teriyaki salmon and butter poached scallops will be torched on giant industrial drills. In addition, the new sides menu includes choices like truffled corn with sweet cream corn foam and torched maple glazed carrot pops with maple gravy foam. Gastro Garage pop-up is a joint venture with Boulevard Nightlife and is sponsored by Bernzomatic blowtorches. Walk-ups are available, but reservations are strongly recommended. $50; Thursday, 6 pm-2 am (every Thursday-Saturday from tonight to February 11th); next to the Adults Only Bar at 7065 1/2 Sunset Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90028 (Northeast corner of Sunset and La Brea); 310.993.3979
