Fans of The Flat’s crƒªpes will soon have another location to enjoy Lauren McRaven’s creations, as the chef has moved underground to head up the kitchen at Gravity Lounge.

“I love Gravity, and I want it to do well,” says McRaven, who will also continue to flip crepes at The Flat.

McRaven has not set the final menu for Gravity but plans to revamp the current menu entirely, and stay away from the microwave. In addition to featuring signature sandwiches, the new menu will offer appetizers and salads.

The simple menu suits the kitchen’s role as a supplement to Gravity’s other functions. “Gravity Lounge is essentially a music venue and bar– it’s not somewhere you would go for a sit-down meal,” McRaven says.

While McRaven has been working in the Gravity kitchen for a couple of weeks to ease the transition, the new menu will officially debut June 27 at the venue’s fifth anniversary concert.

“With the anniversary, we’re hoping to set a new standard moving forward,” Gravity Lounge owner Bill Baldwin says.

Baldwin sees McRaven’s energy fit with Gravity as a natural. “She really gets what we’re trying to do,” he says.

The schedule differences between the two restaurants allow McRaven to balance both. McRaven’s biggest adjustment will be to the facilities of her new kitchen. “The Gravity kitchen is a bit of a challenge,” McRaven said. The venue’s underground location precludes venting which prevents her from frying or using a stove.

“I’m trying to work within the confines of the kitchen and still produce interesting dishes,” McRaven says. “I like the challenge.”

Despite the limitations created by the lack of a kitchen vent, McRaven looks forward to shaping her cooking to complement Gravity’s wide beer selection.

Although a specific date has not been set, McRaven says she and Baldwin eventually plan to keep the Lounge’s kitchen open during the day and on non-show nights. In addition, The Flat and Gravity will collaborate for Sunday brunch, serving crƒªpes at Gravity.
