Building on the success of Overthrow Hospitality's previous venture, &Beer, a temporary pop-up that fascinated diners with its fungi-focused dishes, Third Kingdom takes the mushroom craze to new heights.
Here, an array of mushrooms, from the well-known Chanterelles and Shiitakes to the exotic Black Pearl and Lion’s Mane, are not just ingredients but the stars of the show. This novel approach to plant-based dining showcases the versatility and richness of mushrooms, offering a menu that is both innovative and deeply satisfying.
Chef Pajarito, who has previously dazzled palates at Avant Garden, brings his unique flair to Third Kingdom. Signature dishes like the Lion’s Mane Dumplings and the Black Pearl Oyster Mole Enchilada are just the beginning of a menu designed to celebrate the depth and variety of mushrooms. Each dish is a testament to Pajarito's belief in the potential of fungi to stand out in haute cuisine, not just as meat substitutes but as culinary delights in their own right.
