A college student who transformed his dorm room into one of the hottest restaurants in New York is hosting a pop-up dining experience in Auckland tomorrow.
Jonah Reider began a four-seat mini restaurant in his Columbia University dorm room in September 2015. He quickly accrued a waiting list of more than 4000 people for the restaurant dubbed Pith.
The New York Post called Pith "the hottest table in town" and he appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
