Throughout 2015 Chef Annie Pettry transformed The Cellar Lounge under Decca restaurant into “Beats & Eats”—a late-night culinary den for one-night-only dishes inspired by her take on global street food, paired with hip-hop tracks. Back by popular demand, Chef Annie and her team are dropping a new edition in 2016 with Beats & Eats: New Year’s Celebrations Around the World, beginning with Chinese New Year on Thursday, February 11.

Chef Annie has won acclaim for her distinct culinary style at Decca—taking regional Southern and Midwestern products, and accenting them with exotic spice blends. “We had a lot of fun with Beats & Eats, and knew we wanted to bring it back in 2016,” says Annie. “It gives us a chance to challenge ourselves, continue learning about new cuisines, and play around with dishes that we enjoy cooking and eating that are outside of the cuisine at Decca.”

Beats & Eats will take place in The Cellar Lounge from 10:30 p.m. – 1 a.m. on select Thursdays throughout the year, with the timing approximate to the actual New Year’s celebration dates. Each pop-up will include a selection of dishes under $10, beverage specials, and music from rotating DJ's ranging from old soul, to rare groove, to rock.
