Scholars' traditional understanding of what constitutes an organization rarely considers the variable of time, and research has under examined the variation in organizational forms between permanent and temporary firms. This dissertation explores one such ubiquitous form of transitory work, which I call an "episodic organization," defined as a temporary and project-based form of organizing that occurs on an intermittent basis, characterized by a ramp up and ramp down of activities. Using a qualitative study of pop-up and underground restaurants---temporary eateries that offer social dining experiences in a variety of locations for one evening---I examine how temporariness influences organizational life. At the heart of pop-up and underground restaurants is a tension of temporality: not quite a restaurant, nor a catering business, pop-up and underground eateries occupy a grey space between enduring and temporary. Building on the temporary projects literature, I offer a unique theoretical perspective on this understudied phenomenon, arguing that episodic work systems are characterized by routinization, are embedded in a broader industry and institutional context, have porous boundaries between organizational members and stakeholders, and are commonly entrepreneurial endeavors. These findings have consequences for the study of organizations, entrepreneurs, culture, and foodways.
