Pop-up restaurants are joining food carts as a growing trend in the restaurant industry.

The trend is manifest in such big cities as Los Angeles, Boston and Seattle in the form of pop-up restaurants, in which up-and-coming chefs commandeer the night hours at ordinary sandwich or coffee shops to cook and serve five-course meals for a few days or a week — and then shut down.

These experimental “pop-up” restaurants — along with food carts — were identified as the top trend of 2011 by the 1,500 voting chefs of the National Restaurant Association.
