About WildFlower

 

The pop-up will run Friday, 6/10 through Sunday, 6/12 @ LTO 171 East Broadway,

 New York City, NY

 

NYC's first plant based, pop-up restaurant was hatched by Chef Ayinde Howell and made possible by his I Eat Grass (dot) com community via Kickstarter. Howell, a life long vegan and vegan chef for over 12 years would not call himself an expert on the subject of plant based cuisine. He’s still learning , "I want to give people the full spectrum of vegan cuisine as I have experienced it as a lifestyle and as career." From that thought, the seed for WildFlower grew. Growing up in the food business, the budding chef was always in the kitchen, "Some of the most memorable and important moments in my life happened in the kitchen."  Through WildFlower, he will share his story through 28 courses over three days. There will also be an a-la carte brunch Sunday where Howell will bring back crowd favorites from his Petit Dejeuner aka the Brooklyn Waffle Brunch mixed up with a few new items.  The most notable addition is The Closest I'll come to Chicken & Waffles Waffle.
