Weekend Vibes: It's Good To Be The King (of Hawaiian Rolls)

What’s up on Leap Year weekend? A lot. From a pop up restaurant focused on Hawaiian rolls to a party filled with Thai food and ice cream sundaes, this weekend is shaping up to be the weekend you fall out of shape.

King’s Hawaiian Breakfast Bungalow, 1701 Broadway, Friday through Sunday

Chef Jaime Young of Sunday in Brooklyn is the latest to get in on the branded pop up trend. King’s Hawaiian Breakfast Bungalow, a temporary restaurant that is making a menu out of the company’s various sweet breaded products, is open from now through March 1st. Though guests can select from a shit ton of toppings as part of a make your own sandwich experience, you may as well opt for chef suggestions like the chicken fried steak katsu sandwich with miso hollandaise. There’s also a spam, egg, and potato sandwich along with coconut s’mores french toast; tickets start at $10 and can be scored here.

Bowl of ‘Zole, 110 Kent Avenue, Brooklyn, Saturday

Our buddies at Food Karma Projects are always thinking about fun ways to bring people together through food, which is why we’re excited to see Bowl of ‘Zole come to fruition. Focused on pozole, chefs from across the city will compete to offer their best version of the classic Mexican stew. And if that doesn’t warm you up, the line up of mezcals like Del Maguey should do the trick. A $55 ticket is inclusive of all food and drink; snag them here.
