Classic American coming to 13th and Locust.
The Insider caught word that the latest 13th Street project from Marcie Turney and Val Safran is Bud & Marilyn's, a classic American restaurant named after Turney's grandparents.
Going in at the southeastern corner of 13th and Locust, home (but not very long) to Fish and Rhino Bar, Turney is taking a cue from the Wisconsin restaurant that Bud and Marilyn owned for 40 years from 1950 until 1990.
Classic American is a pretty broad focus but there's plenty to explore within the genre, particularly the Midwestern supper clubs that populate Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa and Illinois. Fingers crossed for retro vibes, prime rib, relish trays and fish Fridays.
Bud & Marilyn's should be open by the end of the year.
