. The Max exceeded expectations turning into a national tour that took Berry to LA and New York. Beyond his fancy title, Berry knows the landscape for pop-ups is different since he imagined a restaurant inspired by the adventures of Samuel “Screech” Powers and Jessie Spano.Berry is a fan of all of this and he knows fellow fans will see through any weak attempts to shakedown customers for money. Authenticity is a loaded term when it comes to restaurants for many reasons.
For Berry, it’s not so much in targeting specific people, but it’s about adhering to core values. The food needs to make diners smile. The staff needs to remain patient while guests geek out. And the space needs to be full of scenes that ignite memories and give customers a reason to use social media. Golden Girls Kitchen starts with the song and leans into the show’s ‘80s Miami setting. And then there’s plenty of cheesecake, a food that helped the women work out feelings.
Each cheesecake slice represents a main character, for example, the blueberry represents Dorothy, who was played by Bea Arthur. They’ve taken over Cheesie’s Pub & Grub in Wicker Park and the sibling bar next door, Whiskey Business. Crews knocked down the wall so visitors could walk through both spaces indoors. The scenes downstairs include the kitchen, Blanche’s bedroom, and the Rusty Bucket bar . Guests will enter through Cheesie’s.
Upstairs, on the Whiskey Business side, folks can eat on the roof and watch their favorite episodes on giant video screens. Berry says they’re working on getting headphones so customers could also hear the dialog. Bucketlisters is working with Whiskey Business’s owners to perhaps use the space regularly for future pop-ups.
