In search of the perfect pizza: Aldo's Pizza and Pub After visiting a client in Germantown, I drove past a strip mall and noticed a sign with "Aldo's" on it. My mind immediately flashed back to my childhood and wondered if this place was related in any way to the Aldo's I enjoyed in Riverwest many moons ago. I vowed to return, and around six months later, I did. |

Buckley's story is pure small-town Milwaukee We all know that Milwaukee has hopes of growing and becoming a major metropolitan center. But as we think of things to sell, we may well want to consider what a small town this city is. The truth was driven home over the weekend when my wife and I had a wonderful dinner at Buckley's, a great restaurant on Cass Street Downtown. |

Pizza Man owner says a new location is almost a done deal Today, I received a cryptic press release announcing that Mike Amidzich, owner of Pizza Man, signed a letter of intent to lease property for a new location. C'mon, Pizza Man, let's do this! |

In search of the perfect pizza: Marco's Pizza Marco's "World Famous" Pizza, 6234 S. 27th St., started in 1959. The first time I noticed Marco's Pizza was over 10 years ago, when I used to shoot pool at Romine's. One of my best friends lives near the South 27th Street location and orders from them often. He's a big fan of the sauce and recommended I give their pizza a try. |

On second thought... I want to clear up something I wrote in a recent blog. I asked OnMilwaukee.com to take it down, but they told me that we don't rewrite history, that once it's out there, it's out there. So, instead, I offer this. |

A rare, disappointing meal at Eddie Martini's Eddie Martini's has long been one of my favorite special-occasion restaurants. It has always featured great steaks, wonderful atmosphere and service that I think is unmatched in this city. That's why I'm so surprised at the dinner I had there Friday night. |

Finding fish - and more - at The Eatery on Farwell The kitchen at The Eatery on Farwell, 2014 N. Farwell Ave., has such long hours that it can really boast something for almost everyone, and at almost any time of day. The restaurant opens at 8 a.m. and serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. I stopped in on a Friday, of course, so I could try the fish fry. |

In search of the perfect pizza: Mini's When I need to get Downtown from Brown Deer after work without risking congestion on I-43, I like taking Highway 57 and following it onto Green Bay Avenue. Traffic moves well, and I get to find different places to eat like Mini's, 6343 N. Green Bay Ave. The "homemade pizza" sign got my attention. It always does. |

Port of Call shows its hometown pride If Byron Kilbourn is going to watch me eat lunch, I wish he'd at least try to look a little happier. Amid the maritime decor adorning the interior of Port of Call Bistro and Beer Garden, 106 W. Wells St., hangs a stern portrait of Kilbourn, who founded his Kilbourntown west of the river. His face reminds us we're in HIS Milwaukee and the menu at Port of Call keeps reminding diners they're in Brew City, too. |

On the hunt for panini: Waterfront Deli Now that our office is Downtown, I'm checking out some new-to-me places for lunch and revisiting some old noon-hour friends, too. Today, I walked across the street to see if Waterfront Deli, 761 N. Water St., could satisfy my yen for a prosciutto panino. |

How can I get potlucky? I love a potluck. I love the word. I love the concept. I love (most of) the food. However, I am running out of ideas for dishes to bring. One can only make so many taco dips. |
