Sabor and Beta by Sabor, 777 N. Water St., have closed their doors, according to Executive Chef Mitch Ciohon, who posted a notice on Facebook yesterday.
Sabor, Milwaukee's Brazilian steakhouse, featured all-inclusive meals including gourmet salads, grilled vegetables and up to 12 different cuts of fire-roasted meats. The restaurant also boasted a wine room with more than 2,400 bottles.
Beta, which just celebrated its one-year anniversary in August, featured small plates, craft cocktails and frozen desserts made with their innovative nitro-cream machine.
Chef Ciohon has worked in the kitchens of Sabor since 2006.
"Thank you to everyone that helped me," he wrote. "Owners, colleagues, staff, people that came and ate, people that said wonderful things, and the people that didn't ... I love you all. I would not be the man I am today without this experience."
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.
