Two freshmen from Boston University went from cooking on their desks to cooking with the executive chef at the Four Seasons Restaurant. Now, they’re doing a pop-up!!
The 803 Restaurant is an underground sushi pop-up that these two creative, artsy entrepreneur freshmen from Boston University started in their dorm room, the actual Dorm Room 803, and now works hand-in-hand with the world renowned chef from the Four Seasons, Pecko Zantilaveevan. The freshmen from New York City started their dorm room restaurant simply because the dining hall just didn't cut it. What began as an attempt to eat in and debut their skills with a fun "tasting" exclusively for friends, quickly snowballed into a full-fledged dining experience with customers, consisting of students, professors and general public, commuting from the likes of Harvard, MIT and Boston College, not to mention the Terriers themselves. Due to a combination of their Snapchat Geotags and plethora of satiated coeds, the aspiring chef: Jarrett Deutsch and the passionate foodie: Ethan Cole, began working with a single electric burner, blender, crock pot, and blowtorch (similar to that which we use for creme brulees), the two were able to serve their eclectic omakase experience to 32+ clientele per evening. Hence, the cubicle-like restaurant of four seats treated an always booked eight turns, whenever it could run in between classes. Once they were featured in the Boston Globe, they returned home to New York City to link up with the revered Zantilaveevan, and have been doing an array of their own pop-up events, private functions and catering, in New York City and the Hamptons.
The 803 begins its 3 day pop-up restaurant commencing this Thursday, August 17th to Saturday, August 19th. Jarrett, Ethan and Pecko invite you to join them for either of their spectacular Omakase Sushi Dining Experience options priced at $95 and $125, or our lunch menus of $45 and $60.
