Chef Kate Williams’s Detroit All-Day Breakfast Restaurant Karl’s Abruptly Closes | Eater Detroit

"I reported that since 2019 chef Kate Williams’s sleek second-floor lunch-counter restaurant at the Siren Hotel kept spaghetti on people’s plates and boozy breakfast drinks in their bellies, offering all-day breakfast and dinner with a full bar. The restaurant was a mood—featuring cinnamon rolls and piping hot coffee, hearty meatloaf, and a familial backbone tied to Williams’s grandfather Anton Karl, who once owned a restaurant on Detroit’s east side—and closed on Tuesday, December 6; representatives confirmed the closure, Google Maps updated to “temporarily closed,” and CBS and hotel staff corroborated the shutdown. Williams confirmed in a text that “we couldn’t come to agreeable terms with the hotel group,” said there are “exciting things on the horizon on both sides,” and expressed gratitude to her team, loyal patrons and the community; the business says it is putting together a plan for the location’s future, but what comes next remains to be seen." - Paolo Bicchieri
