15 Sep A Gem In The Desert: Workshop Kitchen + Bar Palm Springs
Walking into Workshop Kitchen + Bar, you might think you were in New York or Chicago or LA. But, it’s in Palm Springs. This industrial chic restaurant made of concrete, high ceilings and long hanging lights sets a different tone for what you might think of Palm Springs – the home of spring breakers, a mecca for retirement and a weekend escape from the city.
Michael Beckman is the chef/owner of Workshop Kitchen + Bar, located in the Uptown Design District. With an “Americana” inspired seasonal menu, Michael sources his his products from local farmers’ markets within an hour of Palm Springs.
The menu consists of Smalls, Bowls and Plates. Fortunately, I was with a large group of people so we ordered lots of items from the menu and passed the plates around.
