Theodore Rex will be closed until May, chef-owner Justin Yu announced.
In its place, Yu is turning over his downtown restaurant to chef de cuisine Kaitlin Steets, who will operate a restaurant pop-up in the space. Dubbed
Littlefoot, Steets will serve two, five-course tasting menus: a degustation menu of Texas vegetables, meat, and fish and an all-vegetable menu. The pop-up will begin service February 13 and run through the end of April, at which point Theodore Rex will resume service with Steets back in her role as chef de cuisine.
