North Carolina Resident Will Bring 'Farm to Table' Menu to New Crestwood Restaurant

In just a few months you can sample Karen Mott's breakfast and lunch menu at The Barn!

Crestwood aldermen have welcomed a North Carolina resident into the local business community as the new tenant of Sappington House Barn.  Aldermen tabled a motion two weeks ago to choose one of three recommended tenants, hoping to hear from management at Richmond Heights' Fozzie's Sandwich Emporium. Representatives with Fozzie's, however, withdrew their request to convert the barn into a second location for the sandwich shop. After a failed motion in favor of a concept from Sunset Hills resident Mike Matthes, aldermen approved N.C. resident Karen Mott as the new tenant. Mott was the choice favored by the city's park board, as well as the Sappington House Library of Americana Trust. Mott's proposal, The Barn, will serve traditional American…

Brian where else can you go with a full staff at your service? Stop and think this through. The prices are fair.How do you think McDonald"s operates. They put out bids for every part of their operations That's why they can hold costs to a minimum, but only for so long. And yes you can go to QT for a big gulp.

Crestwood Aldermen Want Feedback From Fozzie's Sandwich Emporium Before Choosing New Sappington Barn Tenant

The Board tabled a decision so they may have a chance to hear from all three applicants for the vacant restaurant space on Sappington Road, including the Richmond Heights sandwich shop.

Crestwood aldermen want to hear from all applicants in line for the vacant Sappington Barn space before they choose a new tenant. The board tabled a decision last month to choose one of eight possible operators, asking the city’s park board to submit their top choices in time for the Board of Aldermen’s Sept. 11 meeting. A committee of representatives from the park board, Sappington House Foundation, and library trust narrowed their choices to three: a second location for Fozzie’s Sandwich Emporium, which is based in Richmond Heights; The Sappington House Restaurant, a dinner spot from the manager of a Sunset Hills restaurant; or a new breakfast and lunch concept called The Barn. Aldermen held short question and answer sessions with Karen …

Sappington Barn Center Proposals Focus on Lunch Fare, Seasonal Menus

Fozzie's Sandwich Emporium, non-profit Masterpeace Studios, and a "farm to table" restaurant are among eight proposed venues for the vacant space.

A decision on the Sappington Barn Center’s next tenant was postponed as Crestwood’s Board of Aldermen seek the Park Board’s feedback on the submitted proposals. Four restaurants have filtered through the Sappington Road space since 1999, the last of which was The Tea Barn in 2011. While aldermen welcomed proposals for new eating establishments, they also wanted to consider other uses. Winery, bike store, and catering facility were among alternatives proposed, according to staff memos. Eight proposals were handed in to the city by Aug. 1—and nearly all of them offer meals or snacks. Several of the proposals also aim to catch the attention of those who walk, bike, and run along Grant’s Trail. Patch obtained copies of the proposals from the …

Mike Matthes and Karen Mott spoke on Tuesday evening. Expect a longer update later this week!   more ›
