Abundance Culinary to put down roots at Diner on Lee in Cleveland Heights after a year of pop-ups
For the past year, chef Liu Fang and Carl Setzer have made themselves known around town. What began as occasional pop-ups selling buns, dumplings and noodles under the nameadvanced to weekly two-day residencies at Larder in Ohio City. At those events, and others across town at Rising Star in Cleveland Heights, the pair cultivated a passionate, dedicated following for Fang’s elevated Chinese cooking.
“We’ve been really motivated by the reactions that we’ve seen from people who are intimately connected through family heritage or experience in Asia and by people that are just coming in blind and are motivated by curiosity,” says Setzer. “Chinese-American food has had the same flavors for the past 20, 30 years and there’s a love for it,” Fang explains. “But I think it’s time for a change. It so happens that Carl and I were in China running a food and beverage business while China had its big economic development.
In early 2023, the pair elevated their typical pop-up experience in Hingetown by hosting a week of sit-down prix fixe dinners. The sell-out events might offer guests a glimpse of what the future of Abundance could look like in terms of dishes, plating and service at the 38-seat diner.
