Piyarat Potha Arreeratn, also known as Chef Bee, is launching an NFT restaurant concept where virtual and culinary worlds collide. Piya is a concept that will offer three unique experiences: a Thai restaurant, a private omakase dining room, and a café and computer lab where guests can learn about virtual currencies, blockchain and non-fungible tokens.
To fund the restaurant, an NFT project will also be launched. Chef Bee is working with partner Simon Librati on the project, which is set to include tiered memberships. A virtual version of Piya is launching soon, offering a look at the physical restaurant that will soon take up residence in Miami.
NFTs are being explored as both long-term investments and novelty purchases to treat the next generation of collectors to new and exclusive experiences.
