What Now reported earlier this year on the upcoming Collective at Escape Food Hall, opening in Trinity. Helmed by John McGregor and Matt Thompson, Escape Brewing has yet to reveal the prospective opening date for their new food hall, but it’s going to be “the place to be in Trinity, FL.”
“The Collective at Escape will be the heartbeat of our community,” says Escape Brewing’s website. “You will be able to experience multiple options of chef driven, artisanal food combined with a cocktail focused Bar. The Collective at Escape is also attached to the award winning brewery, Escape Brewing Company, known for their award winning IPAs, fruited sours and lagers.”
As The Collective’s opening approaches sometime this summer, What Now will take a closer look at some of the concepts opening in the upcoming food hall as they are revealed.
Another Tampa Bay-based multi-concept hospitality company, Majestic Restaurant Group, is bringing one of its restaurant concepts to Escape Brewing’s Collective at Escape Food Hall. After launching Han Hand Roll Bar and Ling’s Dumplings at Armature Works in Tampa recently, Majestic Food Group will open a new outpost of its sushi burrito and poke bowl concept, Ato, at the Collective, according to coverage by Creative Loafing Tampa.
“At Ato, the rice is your canvas…” says the brand’s website, “[W]hether you want it as a roll, a burrito, or in a bowl; add only the freshest and highest quality ingredients available to make your own edible art.”
Ato currently has locations at Lakeland’s The Joinery and Wesley Chapel’s Krate. The Joinery location’s menu features Curated Sushi Burritos and Curated Big Poke Bowls, including The Godzilla sushi burrito (Spicy Tuna, Hamachi [yellowtail], Tempura Shrimp, Crab Mix, Edamame Beans, Wonton Chips, Mixed Greens, Carrots, Asparagus, Cucumbers, Spicy Mayo Sauce) and the Florida Bowl (Fresh Tuna, Salmon, Avocado, Carrots, Mixed Greens, Asparagus, Cucumbers, Wakame, Tempura Chips, Sweet & Spicy Sauce).
