Mykonos Cafe, the family owned Greek restaurant at 1014 N. Van Buren St. and a serial top contender for best Greek/gyros in the annual OnMilwaukee reader’s poll, has announced that it will close after 24 years of business.
The announcement, which notes that the restaurant will be closing on Sunday, Dec. 30, was posted late last week on Facebook.
Lori is an avid cook whose accrual of condiments and spices is rivaled only by her cookbook collection. Her passion for the culinary industry was birthed while balancing A&W root beer mugs as a teenage carhop, fed by insatiable curiosity and fueled by the people whose stories entwine with each and every dish. She’s had the privilege of chronicling these tales via numerous media, including OnMilwaukee and in her book “Milwaukee Food.” Her work has garnered journalism awards from entities including the Milwaukee Press Club.
When she’s not eating, photographing food, writing or recording the FoodCrush podcast, you’ll find Lori seeking out adventures with her husband Paul, traveling, cooking, reading, learning, snuggling with her cats and looking for ways to make a difference.
