Biggie Smalls, steak, and dim sum come together at Brooklyn Chop House
A chophouse honoring Brooklyn rapper Biggie Smalls is coming to Manhattan in September.
Brooklyn Chop House, which will combine traditional chophouse fare with dim sum, is the brainchild of Robert “Don Pooh” Cummins, a former music exec and close friend to the late rapper. The 5,000-square-foot restaurant will be decorated with Biggie Smalls lyrics, as a “tribute,” according to Stratis Morfogen, the seasoned restaurateur Cummins has brought on board to run the place.
This will not be Morfogen’s first experiment with Asian-steakhouse fusion. Jade Sixty, his last project, served a similar menu, but closed after six months for renovations and, according to Eater, may not return after those renovations are complete.
