CNN  — 

Pop-ups have taken the culinary world by storm in recent years, allowing chefs of repute to bring their unique experience and talent to shine in someone else’s kitchen.

Whether it’s a winter jaunt to warmer climes and fresh local produce, a one-night-only appearance or a week-long residency aboard a culinary cruise, there’s no shortage of ways to catch the likes of Malcolm Lee, Chele Gonzalez and Hugh Acheson on the go.

Here are 10 tasty ways to take your palate on the road and join them.

1. Malcolm Lee at Asia Society’s Garden Court Cafe, New York
