Two years ago, I wrote about the impending grand opening of Asian Town Center (3820 Superior Ave.), a 115,000-square-foot mixed-use project in AsiaTown. Well, it appears that despite some major delays, the project is finally nearing partial completion. (Oxymoron? You bet.) Alex Duong, whose family operates the Asia Food Market (3126 St. Clair Ave., 216.621.1681), reports that they are about one month from opening.
Inside the reconverted industrial warehouse building, shoppers will find a large Asian grocery, an herbal store, and the latest incarnation of Crust and Crumbs, a short-lived but hugely popular bakery/restaurant operated by chefs Vanessa Robinson and Ismail Samad. The 55-seat restaurant will serve lunch, dinner and weekend brunch. Diners can expect an American menu with subtle Asian influences. “The menu has been stepped up tremendously [from the original] and will allow us to showcase our skills,” says Robinson. Duong says that a Vietnamese fusion restaurant is also in the works for the building, and he is trying to round up additional restaurants to fill the available space.
