With actors and writers on strike, Netflix decided to squeeze new content out of its cooking shows by opening a restaurant in L.A.
With writers and actors on strike this summer, Netflix decided to diversify. The streaming giant opened a restaurant, Netflix Bites, a few blocks west of its Hollywood headquarters. On the menu: dishes featured in Netflix food shows. The daily special: the presence of the chefs who created the dishes. Well, some of them.
Lombardo explained that Netflix executives, having adapted the drive-in movie for the pandemic age and the Regency-era ball for cosplay enthusiasts , pondered the question “ ‘What do people really want?’ I think what you want is a chance to literally taste that amazing dish that you’ve watched this incredible chef prepare,” he said.
“It’s a lot of moving pieces,” Ann Kleinhenz, an events director who had six weeks to staff and set up the restaurant, said. “Eight different chefs, four different drink masters. Normally, you only have one. You get a lot of feedback.” The smell of charred oak and fermented dough wafted over. “Should we go check it out?” Stone said. A few steps away, Ann Kim presided over a prep counter, running a pizza cutter across a pie of kimchi and cubed pork. Flames soared behind her.
