Apartment Dweller Turns Underground Chef
Who says you need a fancy space filled with crystal and china to make a go of it as a restaurateur? One enterprising Brooklynite started up a pop-up lobster shack in his basement apartment, which has since spun into the first great underground food sensation of 2010.
