LA Restaurants Try to Draw New Diners With Separate Outdoor Menus | Eater LA

"Set up in July as a Mexican pop-up on a former rooftop movie theater, Las Palmas was reconfigured by the owners of E.P. & L.P. to take advantage of an unused outdoor space, and under co-owner Grant Smillie the team deliberately designed a new menu rather than trying to replicate indoor dishes—because not everything translates well to outdoor conditions—and accepts the pop-up format to manage guest expectations even as servers and bussers trek from a second-level kitchen to the rooftop." - Mona Holmes
