Our goal is Michelin stars.

Michelin inspectors are increasingly valuing sustainability, social impact, and creativity in their ratings.

If we execute this balance well, we can be among the pioneers proving that fine dining and food justice can coexist.

Fine dining doesn’t have to mean an extreme cost per person, but it does require exceptional quality, creativity, and service.

Michelin-starred restaurants focus on:

Ingredient Quality – Sourcing the best, often local and seasonal, ingredients.

Technical Excellence – Mastery in preparation and presentation.

Uniqueness – A distinctive identity in flavors, storytelling, and experience.

Consistency – Every dish, every visit, should maintain the highest standard.

Service & Ambiance – Hospitality that feels intuitive, with an environment that enhances the meal.

“Gleaning” Menus

We repurpose surplus high-quality ingredients to feed those dependent on gleaning. This not only reduces waste but also allows for creative, high-level cooking without unnecessary expense.

A GROVE HOUSE guests who dine at the restaurant are investing in a system that nourishes more than just themselves.

A Unique Story – food security, athlete performance, and family traditions.

A Distinct Culinary Philosophy – A fusion of fine dining and functional nutrition, where elite athletes and families can experience performance-driven gastronomy with farm-to-table ingredients.

Chef’s Club - Families and teams subscribe to: meals that are curated for their lifestyle needs. Members get priority reservations for limited-seat experiences.

Game Day Club - Teams subscribe to: 5- to 7-course tasting menu designed for peak performance before or after a game. Tailored macronutrient balance, executed with Michelin precision. Guest chef collaborations to bring in culinary stars who specialize in sports nutrition. An essential stop for teams traveling for games.

Legacy Membership for Families & Teams - Lifetime tree planting (sustainable Michelin-friendly initiative). VIP Access to limited seat experiences.

Culinary Workshops with Michelin-level chefs on family meal traditions and performance dining.

Michelin Strategy for Year 1

Limited Reservations: To create exclusivity.

Private Events for Inspectors: Michelin scouts operate secretly—hosting exclusive tastings for critics can accelerate recognition.

Phase 2: Expansion into a Traveling

Concept

After securing credibility in Milwaukee, we expand internationally by launching a traveling Michelin dining experience.

The Pop-Up Model: High-Profile Stops in Major Cities

3-month residencies in NYC, LA, Austin, Miami, and Chicago.

Hosted in sports training centers, farms, or private estates.

Partner with sports teams, luxury gyms, or culinary schools for exclusivity.

The "Invite-Only" Experience

Limited seating per city (only 50-100 tickets per residency).

Membership grants priority booking and access to all pop-ups.

Tasting menus crafted for the region’s best ingredients + athlete performance.

Michelin Recognition in Multiple Cities

Michelin’s presence in NYC, LA, and Chicago means expanding to these cities increases the chance of star consideration in multiple regions.

Pop-ups can build prestige, setting the stage for a flagship location or global residencies.

Securing a Star in Milwaukee First

The Palladium’s first floor as the venue plus the $7M plot across the street for parking, farming, and a greenhouse creates a powerful Michelin-worthy ecosystem in Milwaukee.

Why This Location Works for a Michelin-Starred Concept

Downtown Milwaukee Visibility – High foot traffic and accessibility for VIP guests.
Historic, Elegant Venue – The Palladium brings natural luxury, which aligns with Michelin expectations.
Farming Across the Street – A self-sustaining system that reinforces the restaurant’s zero-waste, farm-to-table philosophy.
Exclusive Parking & Event Space – Solves the parking issue for guests while doubling as an outdoor event venue (seasonal dining, fire pit experiences, chef’s table under the stars).

Attract Michelin Attention Early → Private preview dinners for food critics, top chefs, and key players.
