Erie, PA – We Corny is set to officially open on October 23, 2023, at the Flagship City Food Hall located at 22 N. Park Row, Erie. The new restaurant will feature a variety of Mexican street corn dishes along with other menu offerings.
Having started as a food truck operating since 2022 in the Erie area, We Corny has been serving local favorites such as fresh corn, chicken, and fries. The business is co-owned by Tiffany LaVette, a native of Erie who expresses her commitment to the community, emphasizing its family-oriented nature.
The idea for We Corny originated from a trip to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, in 2010, where LaVette and her husband William were inspired by sampling Mexican-style street corn. Their food truck has gained popularity over the years, attending events such as the Erie Blues and Jazz Festival, where it has operated for approximately three years.
Drew Whiting, who visited their food truck at the festival, extended an invitation to the LaVettes to join the Flagship City Food Hall. The restaurant’s menu will feature popular items like fresh-cut fries, chicken, and elote—a variation of Mexican street corn—infused with soul food flavors. Additional menu offerings will include wings, hot dogs, corn dogs, and an assortment of drinks, with plans to incorporate fish into the menu in the near future.
We Corny will operate Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Its location within the food hall is in the space formerly occupied by Taco Cantina, positioned next to Dina’s Dominican. In celebration of the new venture, a ribbon-cutting ceremony is planned for the opening day, which highlights the excitement and gratitude of the LaVette family for the community’s support.
As part of their launch, We Corny will introduce a monthly special that includes two hot dogs and fries for $10.00. This move is part of their strategy to ensure that diverse food options remain accessible and appealing to all patrons at the food hall.
