HUB Restaurant and Creamery Coming to Downtown

Posted By on Fri, Nov 26, 2010 at 3:40 PM

This place is opening at 266 E. Congress St. early next year. I just spoke with Kade Mislinski, who’s opening it with his girlfriend, Jenny Rice, and he didn’t need to go much further than mentioning the bourbon-cornflake ice cream to grab my attention.

Or perhaps you’re more of the strawberry-balsamic-vinegar ice cream type? He’ll have that, too, and like 50 other flavors. The organic milk will come from Straus Family Creamery, and new flavors will show up all the time, says Mislinski.

The meat: Slow-cooked pork tenderloin wrapped in pork belly, rotisserie chicken, pastrami brined in house ... the list goes on. You’ll be able to get it on a bun or as a meal with a side dish, like fingerling potatoes

The booze: Twenty-four beers on tap and dozens of wines by the glass. A happy hour from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., daily, will feature $5 glasses of wine.

Mislinski expects to open the restaurant—which he said will be family-friendly—around the end of January.
