After many years of success with the Art of Mixology Educational Series, The Cocktail Chef branched off and teamed up with organizational specialist Randi Strunk to establish LunyPop Industries LLC in hopes of taking the Cocktail Chef brand to the next level. From 2014 to the end of 2016, Steven and Randi focused on executing sold out mixology classes in Pittsburgh's most popular bars, intermixed with consulting projects including: four RBG grill restaurants in four Park Inn hotels, Presidents Pub in Washington PA, as well as two mixology events and a speaking engagement for 180 executives/managers of Pittsburgh's Parkhurst Dining.
2017 turned out to be our best year to date with consulting for Arlecchino Ristorante & Alla Famiglia as well as a full calendar of events ranging from home mixology parties, corporate team-building events, and a massive Holly Ball event for SouthPointe Golf Club which turned into a full calendar of 2018 events. With all the new services and products available, Lunypop LLC started to DBA (doing business as) Steel City Mixology in order to create an umbrella for all of our offerings.
As of 2018 our business has grown significantly since we appeared on Pittsburgh Today Live to feature our newest service called Craft Bar Pop Up in early spring. With a full calendar of SPGC events, custom mixology events, craft bar service, cooking demos, happy hour events and pop ups, we had just enough time to finish the Alla Famiglia project and start preparing for the next major consulting job to be announced in early 2019.
