Back in April, MXSW broke the news that Hanna Nilsson would be closing her 9-year-0ld Beaver Choice restaurant in Mesa and launching a fast-casual concept called Bece Kitchen.
After a few unexpected delays, Bece Kitchen finally opens today in a former KFC fast-food restaurant on the northwest corner of Dobson and Riggs in Sun Lakes.
If you’re not familiar with Beaver Choice, Nilsson opened the eatery on the southwest corner of McClintock and Broadway in Tempe in 2010.
Three years later, the owner-chef moved it to a larger space on the southeast corner of Extension and Baseline in south Mesa.
Like Beaver Choice, Bece Kitchen offers a menu of Swedish, Polish, and Canadian dishes like pierogi (six for $10), schnitzels ($10), Swedish meatballs ($10), and bigos (meat-and-sauerkraut stew, $10).
Frozen pierogi are available to go ($4-$4.95 a dozen for potato-cheddar, potato-onion, potato-cheddar-onion-jalapeno, or potato-cheddar-onion-bacon).
A bakery section has cupcakes, cheesecakes, pies, and other desserts.
