Dirty Bird is gone and Papalino's is going in.

The owners of Papalino’s/The Dirty Bird/Hauck’s Corner are planning some other changes, according to Business First:

Pizza AF will give up its bricks-and-mortar location and become a food truck in NuLu.

Baked AF has closed and will become a New York-style deli operated by Eric Morris (formerly of Faces and Gospel Bird).

The Dirty Bird may reopen at a different location, possibly downtown.

Isn't there also Breakfast AF? Odd. I would think that this was a split amongst ownership/interests other than the new/remaining connection to the old Dirty Bird spot. Oh well.

No, they're all Fred Pizziona (sp) joints. Breakfast and Pizza AF shared a space. Now I assume it's going to be just Breakfast AF (and possibly lunch). Pizziona and Rosenberg were two of the OG Papalino's guys, hence Papalino's taking over where the Dirty Bird was. And Eric Morris was involved with Dirty Bird (or some other restaurant idea, I can't keep it straight) so that's why he's moving into Baked AF.

The Pizza AF truck stays parked in front of Taj and Other Taj (speaking of confusing ownership issues...)

I need one of those boards with the pictures and strings like on Only Murders in the Building.
