Fresh off the announcement of its name change, the Lowlands Group has introduced Chef David Spirito as its new culinary director.
Spirito is no stranger to the multi-restaurant concept, having piloted the kitchens for the Texas-based Sherlock’s Baker St. Pub & Grill, Watson’s House of Ales and Dew Drop Inn restaurants managed by Hospitality USA.
With his new menu already in place at Trocadero, Spirito is currently at work creating the menu for Café Benelux, which is scheduled to open at 346 N. Broadway in the Historic Third Ward in April.
In addition to Trocadero and the upcoming Café Benelux, the Lowlands Group also owns and operates Café Centraal in Bay View and the Café Hollander locations on Downer Avenue and in the Tosa Village.
Contrary to her natural state of being, Renee Lorenz is a total optimist when it comes to Milwaukee. Since beginning her career with OnMilwaukee.com, her occasional forays into the awesomeness that is the Brew City have turned into an overwhelming desire to discover anything and everything that's new, fun or just ... "different."
Expect her random musings to cover both the new and "new-to-her" aspects of Miltown goings-on, in addition to periodically straying completely off-topic, which usually manifests itself in the form of an obscure movie reference.
