The food hall coming to Burnsville Center now has a name and a high-profile consultant attached to it.
Developers Pacifica of Burnsville and Chicago-based Windfall Group have hired Hospitality HQ, which is co-founded by Michelin-awarded chef, restaurateur, TV personality and cookbook author Akhtar Nawab, to conceptualize the food hall, which will be called Ate Ate Ate.
The name is a play on the number eight, a lucky number in Chinese numerology and in some other Asian countries. The tagline of the hall is “Good fortune. Great food.”
Nine vendors — none of which have been announced — will be a part of the 13,320-square-foot space, which will include a bar, a beer pull wall and an event space. Developers are also promising regular entertainment offerings in a “cosmopolitan yet comfortable setting, with fun, colorful decor that pays homage to Pan-Asian street markets.”
Though we don’t have specifics on the who, we do know that the focus will be on minority-owned businesses and will be “full of international flavor.”
Apparently Ate Ate Ate, which will open later this spring, is still seeking one more vendor. If you think that’s you, go to the food hall’s website for more information.
