After a successful round of pop-ups, Chef Lisa Nakamura is seeking $50,000 via an Indiegogo campaign to help launch her Gnocchi Bar restaurant. The funds will help provide working capital and cash flow during the restaurant's first few months; Nakamura says she's still searching for the restaurant's location.
The campaign goes live on October 24, when Nakamura is hosting a launch party at Zeppelin Studios from 7 to 9 p.m. Tickets are $10 and include gnocchi and dessert sampling and one beverage. There will also be a raffle (tickets are $5) for gift certificates to Ma'Ono Fried Chicken and Whiskey and Blue Moon Burgers, tickets for Savor Seattle Tours, cooking classes at Hot Stove Society, cookbooks, and a gnocchi lunch for four.
