MILWAUKEE — Egg & Flour Pasta Bar is closing at Crossroads Collective on May 4. The celebrity chef-owner says he will focus on a Bay View restaurant instead.
That's according to our partners at the Milwaukee Business Journal.
Milwaukee chef Adam Pawlak started the space at the food hall back in May of 2019.
Since then, the chef has opened a restaurant in the Bay View neighborhood. (He also opened a location in Wauwatosa, but that closed earlier this year, as did a micro pizzeria at the food hall).
Pawlak will keep the Bay View restaurant going while he closes the Crossroads Collective location. To the BizJournal, he called it consolidating their operations.
The chief said he will bring food hall staff to the restaurant. He also wants to offer more specialty pastas and host more events.
The Bay View location is at 2273 S. Howell Ave.
The changes mark a new direction in food offerings at the Crossroads Collective, the BizJournal notes.
Atwood Hwy BBQ replaced HotWax; Brew’d Burger Shop and Nute’s Café opened earlier this month. The Counter Day Bar opened earlier this year.
Crossroads Collective is also dedicating a stall for pop-up vendors. Crossroads Collective said it hopes to replace Egg & Flour’s space with an 'Italian concept.'
