Phuc Yea! Vietnamese Pop-Up Restaurant Debuts September 8

Thank you Eater Miami for the post!

Tired of stalking food trucks but always ready to jump on the next big thing? Focus your attention, then, on Phuc Yea! (cheekily named, yet pronounced [fook – yey’]), Miami’s first official pop up restaurant by ex Blue pianist/blogger Anièce Meinhold, ex Blue Piano chef Cesar Zapata and Eater Miami’s one or two-time Food Truck Guy, Daniel Treiman. Phuc Yea!, they tell us, is a progressive rendition of Southeast Asian cuisine, which will magically appear next month in the Crown Bistro,19 SE 2nd Avenue in the northwest corridor of the Ingraham Building, from early September until November 2011 serving dinner only from 5:30 pm until 10:30pm, Tuesday through Saturday, and will be closed Sunday – Monday.

It will offer “a modern interpretation of traditional Vietnamese cuisine that highlights dishes from the southern region of Vietnam, emphasizes high quality ingredients, and employs high-end technique.” As for the name, “The word “Phuc” has a number of definitions in Vietnamese. Between “lucky,” “prosperity,” “happiness,” and “fortune,” all of the words seemed appropriate in defining the Phuc Yea! Cru’s goals as well as their current state of mind. What do you say? Phuc Yea!” ‘nuff said. [EaterWire]
