Lazy Bear Camp Commissary Launch
Project
Covid really did a number on the restaurant industry. In order to survive, Lazy Bear needed to pivot, quickly. So as a group we decided to take the restaurant in a completely different direction.
Gone were the days of $300 dinner tickets. Enter the era of Michelin-starred take out. Still maintaining the refined, charming experience that has been cultivated over ten years.
