A vacant diner in a prominent Midtown location is set for a makeover into an indoor / outdoor restaurant and bar.



Plans for the former Foodies building at 1220 N. Hudson show the large surrounding parking area converted to a patio complete with fire pits and shade structures.

A free-standing restroom and bar will also be added and the tiny existing restaurant building will also be renovated.

The plans also show a spot for a food truck along the south end of the parcel.

The operation will be piloted by Joe Jungmann, the owner of Sauced on Paseo and the Paseo Grill. Jungmann also worked with the Hal Smith Restaurant Group to help open KD's Southern Cuisine and Wes Welker's Sports Bar. Local attorney Dale Cazes is also a partner.

The menu is under development.
