Back in May, the Crafty Cow location in Bay View (and its affiliated/connected Hot Head Fried Chicken) welcomed seven new food items and a handful of new cocktails to its menu. While introducing new delicacies, Hot Head and Crafty Cow also decided to say goodbye to seven food items from its original menu.

Just over half a year removed from making those improvements, the burger joint is getting ready for a new year by bringing nine new burger options to its menu (spread between Crafty Cow’s Bay View and Oconomowoc locations) and upping the quality of its beef with a new brisket, chuck, and sirloin blend that will be served across the board. They’re also bringing in a much lighter and fluffier brioche bun and introducing a rotating “dish of the moment.”

Like last time they changed things up, the update also means Crafty Cow will have to say goodbye to a few longstanding menu items. Starting Tuesday morning, here’s what will be coming to and what will be departing from Crafty Cow’s menu.
