    If you’re feeling Bored and Hungry, a Bored Ape Yacht Club-themed restaurant with this exact name offers a unique dining experience! No, seriously: the menu, food, walls, floor, and exterior are all about the iconic Bored Apes. Launched in 2022, this California-based burger restaurant went viral for a good reason.

    Whether you aped in or are an NFT newbie, this place is one for the books – so let’s learn about it!

    What Is Bored And Hungry?

    Bored and Hungry is the first BAYC-themed physical restaurant. The new venue is, in fact, a burger-only restaurant in Long Beach, California. Surprisingly, this venue first launched as a temporary pop-up, but its instant success turned it into a permanent location.

    Now just as its name suggests, Bored and Hungry offers an authentic Bored Ape experience that is anything but boring!

    In terms of design, the restaurant evokes the exact details of the iconic BAYC bar displayed on the project’s website. From hand-drawn spirits on the walls to anchors and signs writing “FOMO” or “FUD Destroyer,” this is an immersive experience. In fact, the entry glass walls have green slime all over them – an obvious reference to the Mutant Ape Yacht Club.

    Of course, the orders are just as customized as the location itself. Each burger box or french fries bag features a Bored Ape or a Mutant Ape avatar alongside the brand’s logo.

    In short, everything is incredibly well thought out, so who would have such dedication? Let’s find out.

    Who Founded The NFT-Themed Restaurant?

    Bored & Hungry is the creation of Andy Nguyen, a professional US-based restaurateur. By 2022, this food industry had everything planned out to open a vegan restaurant. Then, things took a turn when he stepped into the NFT world and bought Bored Ape #6184.

    It didn’t take long until Andy saw the potential of opening an NFT-themed restaurant – and what better theme than BAYC? The investor teamed up with Kevin Seo, who co-founded the Food Fighters Universe. A $300,000 investment later, Bored and Hungry launched as a temporary pop-up to test the local community’s reaction.

    It was an instant hit.

    From NFT whales and Bored Ape fanatics to people who had never heard the term “NFT,” tens of curious clients wandered through the 1,700-square-foot venue. This was a clear sign that Andy Nguyen needed to turn Bored and Hungry into a permanent restaurant. Today, the management team consists of crypto experts who educate new staff members on the top web3 experience.

    This isn’t just a BAYC-themed venue, though. According to client reviews, the menu is interesting, too, so let’s check it out.

    Is Bored and Hungry connected to Yuga Labs?

    Contrary to some people’s belief, Bored and Hungry doesn’t have any official partnerships with the BAYC creators at Yuga Labs. However, Andy Nguyen recalled in an interview for CoinDesk that he once received a call from a Yuga Labs representative.

    Accordingly, the company asked for feedback on the restaurant’s experience using ApeCoin. After all, Bored and Hungry is the only restaurant to ever accept ApeCoin payments; the pop-up opened one day after ApeCoin launched!

     

    Why Choose Bored Ape Yacht Club as The Main Theme?

    BAYC is undoubtedly among the most popular NFT projects of all time. From global superstars to NFT whales or crypto investors, millions of people like the project (or they already aped it). The 10K collection has a 70.41 ETH floor price at the time of writing and is in the top 10 most valuable NFT projects.

    Furthermore, Bored Ape Yacht Club has one of the most dedicated communities too. In other words, choosing BAYC as the central theme of an NFT restaurant was a good move – and the history proved it. Shortly after launch, Bored and Hungry went viral for its incredible aesthetic and dedication.

    What’s on The Menu?

    To begin with, the menu is divided into two sections: Boring and Mutant. The Boring menu includes classic burger recipes with double smashed patties, American cheese, pickles, and “grilled” onions. Meanwhile, the Mutant menu has vegetarian and vegan options. Each burger comes with a Bored’n’Hungry sauce, fries, and a drink of your choice.

    Of course, every burger comes with BAYC-themed packaging for a complete experience. While you’re there, you can also shop physical merch to make your visit truly memorable. The restaurant offers Bored and Hungry T-shirts (in black or white), and a Black Bored and Hungry hat.

    The best part? You can pay however you want!

    How Can You Pay for Your Bored and Hungry Meal?

    Bored and Hungry is the first physical restaurant to accept crypto payments, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and ApeCoin – the official BAYC token. In fact, Andy Nguyen asked a developer to create the software from scratch just so they could operate with these cryptocurrencies.

    In order to make a payment, you have to enter the restaurant’s native website and connect your MetaMask wallet. Then, one of the staff members can guide you through the process of sending the payment in your desired currency.

    Where and When Can You Visit?

    You can visit the Bored and Hungry restaurant at 2405 E 7th St., Long Beach, California. The venue is open seven days a week between 11 am and 8 pm.

     

    All in all, Bored and Hungry offers a one-of-a-kind experience for everybody. Whether you don’t know about NFTs or are a BAYC collector, the setting, menu, and attention to detail can impress you. The BAYC-themed venue welcomes crypto payments, too, so if you’re in for a Californian treat, you can visit the restaurant any day of the week!
