It looks as if there’s a new breakfast and lunch spot on the way for the Third Ward.
A new restaurant called Sweet Diner is slated to open sometime this summer at 239 E. Chicago St. in the vacant space next to Inspired, a gallery and home furnishings boutique.
One of the owners of the business is George Prassis, a restaurateur who also operates Sugar Bowl and Mr. Gyros, both restaurants in the Chicagoland area.
The restaurant will serve breakfast and lunch, and has applied for a liquor license from the city.
According to documents filed with the city of Milwaukee, Sweet Diner is slated to open by June 1 with hours from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily.
As a passionate champion of the local dining scene, Lori has reimagined the restaurant critic's role into that of a trusted dining concierge, guiding food lovers to delightful culinary discoveries and memorable experiences.
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 every dish. Lori is the author of two books: the "Wisconsin Field to Fork" cookbook and "Milwaukee Food". Her work has garnered journalism awards from entities including the Milwaukee Press Club. In 2024, Lori was honored with a "Top 20 Women in Hospitality to Watch" award by the Wisconsin Restaurant Association.
When she’s not eating, photographing food, writing or planning for TV and radio spots, 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.
