The Makan team’s Krog Street Market concept has undergone a name change. The steamed bun joint formerly known as Betty Hsu’s Baos will be called Suzy Siu’s Baos when it opens this fall. Co-owner Michael Lo told Eater the new name works as a combination of traditional Southern American names like Mary Jo and the “obviously Asian” name Siu.
