Hollywood’s Giant Foot Locker Is Hosting a Michael Jordan-Inspired Food Pop-Up

Shoes and foods

Foot Locker has opened a pop-up restaurant inside the company’s flagship store at Hollywood & Highland. Per Foodbeast, which helped to bring the pop-up to life, the two-weekend run is part of a branded partnership between Foot Locker and Nike’s Rivals shoe and clothing line, and is (naturally) called the Rivals Cafe. To get access, expectant diners have to buy a piece of merchandise from the collection, and then they can choose from a menu of LA and Chicago dishes to take home as part of the purchase. That includes a Chicago-style hot dog or LA bacon-wrapped hot dog, or French dip sandwich vs. a Chicago Italian beef. Weekend one of the pop-up is done, but diners can catch the menu again from October 31 to November 3 during evening hours.

Steak season

Old Brea Chop House opens soon down in Brea. The throwback steakhouse sits at Birch and Brea, and should open before the end of the year with a menu of tomahawk steaks, charcuterie, cocktails, and more.
