Baxter: a kitchen closed for a remodel
A Baxter restaurant on the Highway 371 corridor in central Minnesota closes its kitchen for a remodel but keeps its catering orders. A 20 ft refrigerated trailer parked in the back lot holds product while the crew works inside.
The first questions are practical: where the trailer will sit, how staff reach it from the kitchen door, and which outlet powers it. Baxter sits beside Brainerd in the Brainerd Lakes area, where summer lake traffic fills restaurants fast, so a closed kitchen costs the most in season.
