'High-end casual' Crave brings new menu options to Mequon
By Jeff Rumage
Mequon - A new restaurant is bringing new menu options to the east side of Mequon.
Crave Bar and Food opened the first weekend of October at 10401 N. Port Washington Road on the grounds of Chalet Motel. The space was previously occupied by Mexican restaurant Burrito Bueno II for a couple years. Before that, it was a different Mexican restaurant known as Senor Sol.
Describing the atmosphere as "comfortable" and "high-end casual," Crave owner Spiro Asimakopoulos spent seven months redesigning the interior to offer a variety of dining environments, including a traditional dining room, a wine room with high-top tables and a sports room with televisions, electronic games and a bar environment. The kitchen at Crave is open from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m. every day, with the bar staying open until 11 p.m.
The tagline above was one of the early lines we in Rotary District 6400 used during our LaunchDetroit open house events when we were telling our story to prospective applicants. Later, I remember thinking about that line and wondering if it was too much of a cliché.
Fast forward to today and I have become a true believer. This program, which we started in 2013 to provide microloans, training, and mentoring to those trying to start local businesses, has had that transformational effect on several budding entrepreneurs in Detroit.
I think of Willie Brake and his small computer business. He started in year one of our program and, after two years, opened his own retail store offering computers and computer services to customers in his neighborhood. The neighborhood had been without any local computer stores, since most had either moved to the suburbs or been replaced by big-box stores that sold computers.
