Farmer's Apprentice

Our next BBQ pop-up dates are June 21 and 22, 2025! We will explore Mexican cuisine through the lens of Basta BBQ. Mexican cuisine has huge regional variations. For this popup we are particularly drawn to the cuisine of the Yucatán. Although this may not be authentic, we will treat the cuisine with the same respect we have shown in our previous pop-ups. Mexican cuisine has always been a huge inspiration for us at The Farmer’s Apprentice - the techniques, mindset, and resulting dishes are complex, nuanced, and rich. After years of experimentation we still feel that we are just beginning to scratch the surface. The colonial history shared by Mexican and Filipino cultures, influenced by Spain and local indigenous traditions and resources, has led to a harmonious integration of ingredients, cooking techniques, and flavours evident in both cuisines. Food is served platter-style, allowing you to sample a bit of everything. As always, we will have supplemental items like our delicious cornbread and smoked olives. The full menu will be released in the coming weeks, closer to the pop-up date. $55 includes applicable taxes - 20% gratuity added at checkout Stay tuned for the menu and more upcoming pop-up dates!
