New foodie pop-up launches in Mendocino
Floyd & Connie’s, a pop-up concept by Stephanie Butler and Nick Dorgan, is taking over the Waiting Room in Mendocino every Sunday evening. The Waiting Room is a casual cafe operated by Cafe Beaujolais, which is kindly allowing Butler and Dorgan to use the cafe until the pair open their own restaurant, Floyd & Connie’s, in Fort Bragg in 2023.
Self-described “New school Americana” cuisine, Floyd & Connie’s offers shareable small plates. Last week’s menu included olives focaccia with squash butter and cheese straws; new potatoes with beets, fennel blossom and jammy eggs; chicken liver pate with green bean chutney and fried milk bread; chorizo-stuffed peppers; caramel apple cake and more.
