Item No. 1 on the City of Wauwatosa's Plan Commission Meeting for 7 p.m. tonight reads:

"Request by Keene Addington for a Conditional Use in the Business Planned Development District for a Flat Top Grill restaurant at 2751 Mayfair Rd."

Indeed, Flat Top Grill finally makes its way to the Milwaukee area.Flat Top Grill --with 10 Chicagoland locations, one in Indiana and another in Madison -- was started by Keene Addington, who according to flattopgrill.com, "in the early 1990s, (after Addington) spent 28 months in Hong Kong managing for a large restaurant company. While there (Hong Kong), he noticed one restaurant that was crammed with Americans every night. When he investigated, he discovered a long line of fresh vegetables, sauces and meats where the guests picked what they want and it was then cooked on a large grill in front of the restaurant."

"We are looking forward to opening at Mayfair Mall in Wauwatosa in the fall of this year," said Jenn O'Hanion, marketing specialist for Flat Top Grill, via e-mail.

Flat Top Grill is a great concept and it should do well near Mayfair.

In other Tosa news, item No. 8 on tonight's agenda reads:

"Request by West Development Partners LLC for a change in zoning from AA Light Manufacturing to AA Business at 1701/1804 N. Mayfair Rd."

This is the former Renner automotive. Sources say that Roundy's is looking to build a new Pick 'n Save location there.

That's all, for now, from the OnWauwatosa.com desk.
