History
Chef and owner Greg Baxtrom signed a lease for the space now occupied by Patti Ann's before the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] Originally, Baxtrom planned to open a raw bar in the space,[2] and has said he intended to "rip off Joe's Stone Crab".[3]
Patti Ann's opened in March 2022.[4][5] Baxtrom named the restaurant for his mother, and components of the restaurant's interior were built by Baxtrom's father, a carpenter.[2][6] Baxtrom also operates Olmsted and several other restaurants located near Patti Ann's.[7]
Food and menu
The restaurant served food inspired by the cuisine of the Midwestern United States.[5] The restaurant began serving tavern-style pizza in early 2023,[8][9] Baxtrom has said serving tavern-style pizza was "always...eventually" the plan for Patti Ann's.[10]
Baxtrom, owner of the restaurant, grew up in the Midwest, south of Chicago.[6]
