Travail Collective is led by chef-owners and James Beard semifinalists Mike Brown, Bob Gerken, and James Winberg. For over 14 years, our culinary team has crafted elaborate chef’s tasting menus, pairing innovative flavors with expertly curated beverages—all inspired by classic and contemporary techniques, specialty ingredients, and a touch of whimsy. Our flagship restaurant, Travail Kitchen and Amusements, features chef spotlight dinners, wine tastings, themed pop-ups, and a rotating signature tasting menu.

Pig Ate My Pizza opened in Robbinsdale in 2013 as a quirky, chef-driven passion project built on bold pies, unapologetic flavor, and warm, offbeat hospitality. Today, it carries that signature pizza magic forward, now expanded to a second location in Bloomington. With in-house craft beer from Andy Goettsch at Nouvelle and a kitchen crew that feels like family, PAMP isn’t just a place to eat, it’s a homecoming.

Graze Food Hall by Travail brings seven culinary concepts—and five James Beard-nominated chefs—together under one roof in the North Loop.
