At Avanti Food & Beverage, change is the name of the game, as the incubator brings in promising concepts with the goal of launching them to bigger things once their short-term leases are up. The latest to join the Avanti roster is Meta Asian Kitchen, which opened on October 21; it serves a variety of dumplings, bao buns, stir-fried dishes and other Chinese eats. Meta took on a corner spot on the main floor that has been home to Mijo, American Grind and Chicken Rebel since Avanti opened in 2015.
At the edge of Aurora, the Stanley Marketplace is more than a food destination; retail shops and other services are part of the package. But the former airplane ejector-seat factory is also home to more than twenty food and beverage businesses, and the turnover has been remarkably low in the three years since the space debuted, with just Sazza Pizza closing nearly a year ago. But now the Infinite Monkey Theorem is draining its last bottle at its third-floor wine bar this weekend.
In south Denver, Maddie's Restaurant, a University of Denver neighborhood favorite for breakfast and lunch, closed on Tuesday. Owner Gayor Geller posted the following message on the restaurant's Facebook page:
To our valued customers:Here's our complete list of restaurant and bar openings and closings for the week, plus links to coverage of current and upcoming activity:
