Celebrate Fete de la Bastille at Chez Jacques

Published July 10, 2012 at 11:26 a.m.

Enjoy four days of fun, food and all things French as Chez Jacques brings a little bit of Bastille Days to Walker's Point this weekend.

The restaurant will honor Bastille Days, as well as celebrate 11 years in business and the grand opening of its courtyard patio, July 12-15.

Fête de la Bastille specials include Thursday and Friday happy hours from 2 to 6 p.m. with $5 appetizers, Bloody Marys, mimosas and red, white or rose wines. Chez Jacques will also feature the Tremblement de Terre (the earthquake), a special cocktail created by Toulouse-Lautrec and made with half absinthe and cognac.

Dinner specials also include a Poulet Basquaise, featuring a half roasted chicken topped with sauteed tomatoes, peppers, garlic and country ham and served with bow-tie pasta, and a summer dish of pan-seared scallops with a pineapple, cucumber, jalapeno chutney and organic quinoa.

For more information or to make reservations, contact Chez Jacques at (414) 672-1040 or email chezjacq@chezjacques.com.

Antonio's Pizza

Published Wednesday, May 22

On my many visits to the east side, I`ve driven past the intersection of Weil and Locust. I`ve noticed a pizzeria there before, but a few months ago, I noticed a name change. Antonio "Tony" Balsamo opened Antonio`s Pizza, 1000 E. Locust St., around two months ago. I decided to stop in and see if he had the perfect pizza for me.

While they seem more Madison than Milwaukee, they`re popping up everywhere now that the weather is turning. Oddly, though, I rarely see people sitting in these Adirondack chairs.

Split that entree!

Published Tuesday, May 14

There`s been a lot of travel in our family since March, which means the fridge is more of a barren cavern than stocked with it`s usual bounty of healthy fare. So, by default and out of admitted laziness, we`ve been enjoying more meals "out," than are typical for us. So, how are we avoiding the major ouch in our pocketbook and around our waistlines? Well, we`re splitting entrees.

Filippo's

Published Wednesday, May 8

Filippo`s Italian Restaurant, 6915 W. Lincoln Ave., is one of the many pizzerias on Lincoln Avenue that I`ve alluded to in past blogs. Several people have been asking when I was going to visit Filippo`s, so I stopped in on a slow night to try the sausage, mushroom and onion on thin crust and a sausage and pepperoni on the regular hand-tossed pizza.

If owners Dustin Bowie and Rob Settecase have anything to say about it, their latest business venture, Ugly`s Pub at 1125 N. Old World 3rd St., will be ... well, anything but ugly.

Ferrante's

In 1938, newlyweds Rosalie and Alex Ferrante established the first Ferrante`s Restaurant in central Milwaukee. A friend and I decided to check out the popular restaurant opened by their kids in Mequon, and we were pleasantly surprised by a Texas Ranch Pizza.
