The restaurant’s menu, designed by Executive Chef Braden White, features “reinvented” American classics including boozy milkshakes, spiked sodas, fried chicken ribs with hot sour sauce, BBQ spiced popcorn with bacon butter and wagyu jerky with smoked cream and BBQ salt.
“The popularity of American diner food is at an all-time high, however it’s not often executed to the standard that really pays respectful homage to the classic flavours of these all-American dishes and drinks,” he said.
