Chaos among order.

At Goldberg Variation, it’s a carefully orchestrated set of steps to get your order to the kitchen. We’ve heard the corn should go first, but we prefer it this way.

Like all our pop-ups, Goldberg Variation requires a password to get in. When you know it, click this button and submit the phrase. We’ll see you inside.

Full text:

Diner steps on switch, which sends up RAY of light… which shoots out NINE balls… and lands in CORN, which slides down.

Corn triggers VENT which starts to blow air… flinging a LID into the air.

This triggers a FUSE, which burns… and makes a CROW fly into the air.

This hits a CANE, … which falls onto a KNIGHT.

This scares a COCK, which screams upward… causing some TOES to walk forward.

These TICKLE a board … which knocks a PIN down a slide … and onto a piece of BARK.

This topples FOUR dominoes… which topples a GNOME that rolls and … hits a gutter that's connected to an EAVE.

The BIRD flies down… picks up a BOW, flies up… and knocks over a BONE.

This falls, hits some bells, causing musical NOTES,… which vibrates up a ROW of strings,… which causes a KNOT to fall and bounce.

Knot hits SAW, which cuts rope that … tips a bottle of GIN which… knocks down an NBA basketball, alerting kitchen of your order.


Congrats to the winner, Olivia Chang.


The prize was Kistler Chardonnay McCrea Sonoma Mountain 2016 from The Alinea Group Wine Shop.
