History

[edit]

Chef and owner Greg Baxtrom signed a lease for the space now occupied by Patti Ann's before the COVID-19 pandemic.[1] Originally, Baxtrom planned to open a raw bar in the space,[1] and has said he intended to "rip off Joe's Stone Crab".[2]

Patti Ann's opened in March 2022.[3][4] Baxtrom named the restaurant for his mother, and components of the restaurant's interior were built by Baxtrom's father, a carpenter.[1][5] Baxtrom also operates Olmsted and several other restaurants located near Patti Ann's.[6]

Food and menu

[edit]

The restaurant serves food inspired by the cuisine of the Midwestern United States.[4] The restaurant began serving tavern-style pizza in early 2023,[7][8] Baxtrom has said serving tavern-style pizza was "always...eventually" the plan for Patti Ann's.[9]

Baxtrom, owner of the restaurant, grew up in the Midwest, south of Chicago.[5]
