Hippest hoppest pop-up ever? Kottu food truck chefIs there a link to a website of his or something that we could add here? Syd Suntha recently hosted an epic, 36-course meal + live performance experience inspired by the music of the Wu-Tang Clan at Queen Anne Beer Hall. And you better believe it was a banger.

A full-on marching band led by a fire twirler brought the heat to start, while nine local chefs helped prepare a marathon dinner with dishes like Ube I Like It Raw(beef tartare) + Lamb In Da Front (lamb belly with “ghost face chilla” pepper). In-between courses, performances by stand-up comedians, rappers + local break dance troupe Massive Monkees helped keep heads bobbin’.

🎤 Cooking up hits

In case you couldn't tell, Syd is a chef who likes to go big with pop culture obsessions. He’s already hosted two other fan-friendly dinners in Seattle over the past several months — Elevenses (based on “Lord of the Rings”) + Dangerous Nights (based on the Netflix comedy show “I Think You Should Leave”). Can you say eclectic tastes?

The Wu-Tang pop-up — which won an Eventbrite accelerator program prize — was the most ambitious of them all. It's an idea Syd had in his head for four years, based on his own love of the Wu-Tang Clan from when he was a kid.

Before becoming a chef, Syd also had a career as a touring musician — andlike any true performer, his biggest thrill is the "look on the faces of the audience" when they first see his latest production. So I think this paragraph focuses a little too heavily on this pop-up that has already happened. Folks probably won't care as much about how he got the money for it now that it's over. Is there anything you could add about why he does these pop-ups or how he picks the themes? I want to learn more about him and his creative style than just this one event.

🎹 Ready for an encore

While continuing to keep his food cart Kottu going, Syd said he has several more pop culture-based pop-ups he wants to try. His intention is to host one per month and reveal a batch of themes four at a time.

Syd — who usually posts pop-up announcements on Instagram — wouldn’t reveal what the next themes would be yet, but dropped a hint for one, saying "you can’t talk about it all."I think we really need a link to his IG account or something here that people can follow for more info.

Care to hazard a guess — oh, no, no, no?
