Writer/actor Kevin Smith is launching a real life version of Mooby’s, the movie-only fast food chain that has appeared in Dogma, Clerks II, and the Jay and Silent Bob franchise. The delivery-only restaurant pop-up is being led by chef Royce Burke and the teams behind the previous Good Burger and Saved by the Max experiential dining spaces in West Hollywood. Smith himself posted about the upcoming launch on his social media, saying the limited run starts this Sunday and goes through April 25. As Deadline and others have reported, funds from the pop-up will go towards No Us Without You, the undocumented restaurant worker relief fund. The Postmates-only pop-up starts on Sunday.
