It seems impossible that someone would capitalize on the term “Karen” — a pejorative term reserved for white women considered overly demanding or mean — but it’s a new year of dining in Los Angeles. Karen’s Diner opens in Marchin March at Hollywood’s Sumac Mediterranean Cuisine and organizers encourage diners to “unleash your inner Karen.”
The appeal of “great burgers and rude service” is a bit puzzling, as Karen’s Diner is designed to draw and encourage entitled customers along with staff who will also bring a bad attitude. Karen’s Diner is a roving pop-up with roots in Australia and more recently in St. Louis. Event organizers are selling tickets for $40 which comes with a burger, fries, and soda with a side of the “Karen” experience plus games and snippy waitstaff.
These novelty pop-ups keep coming, with Karen’s Diner being the most recent to meet the demand. A Blockbuster pop-up opened in November on Melrose, and the incredibly popular Golden Girls Kitchen sold out within a few hours in 2022. Karen’s Diner dates are March 3 and 4, but a spokesperson says there’s a possibility of an extension if popular enough. Booking information is here.
