Bias Dogs and Ghetto Gastro Host “Black Power Kitchen” Pop-Up in Tokyo

Bias Dogs teams up with Bronx-based culinary collective Ghetto Gastro and creative diner Tokyo Burnside for a four-day event celebrating American diner culture with a bold, cross-cultural twist.

Bias Dogs will host a special four-day pop-up event titled Black Power Kitchen from July 10 to July 13 at Tokyo Burnside in Harajuku. Presented in collaboration with Ghetto Gastro—a Bronx-based culinary collective known for blending food, Black culture, art, music, and fashion—and the creative Tokyo diner Tokyo Burnside, the project offers a dynamic, two-part experience.

 

During the day, the venue will serve a lineup of original waffle recipes developed under the supervision of Ghetto Gastro and Tokyo Burnside. These dishes can be enjoyed as both desserts and savory meals. A highlight of the event is the specially made waffle iron, shaped like the signature Bias Dogs peace mark graphic and custom-manufactured in the United States exclusively for this occasion.

 

In the evening, the space transforms into an American-style izakaya, featuring New York–inspired dishes and drinks curated in the spirit of Tokyo Burnside. The event is designed to be family-friendly and welcoming to all ages.

 

In addition to the food experience, exclusive collaborative merchandise will be available at the venue, including one Ghetto Gastro x Bias Dogs T-shirt and two Tokyo Burnside x Bias Dogs T-shirts. These will be sold in advance at Tokyo Burnside during the event, with a nationwide release via Bias Dogs’ online shop and official dealers starting July 18. All T-shirts are priced at ¥12,000 (tax excluded), available in sizes S to XL.

 

Ghetto Gastro, formed in the Bronx in 2012, has become globally recognized for fusing culinary expression with cultural storytelling. Their past collaborations include work with Sacai, Cartier, and the late Virgil Abloh, and they have provided catering for events such as the official Academy Awards party.

 

Tokyo Burnside, located in Harajuku, was designed in partnership with architecture firm Snøhetta and local talents such as kooo architects, flower artist Makoto Azuma, and sound designer Devon Turnbull—resulting in a one-of-a-kind dining and cultural space.
