Begel's bagel blog

Milwaukee, like most cities, has two bagel chain places, Einstein's and Bruegger's. But both places leave me a little dissatisfied.

This actually happened - just not to me. (Yet.)

Five questions with Arthur Ircink

I met director and creator of "Wisconsin Foodie" Arthur Ircink several years ago and was fortunate enough to work with him in the first season of the show. I recently caught up with him to ask him about his ideas, inspirations and some recommendations.

"Battleship" sinks

Move over sequels, reboots, remakes and movies based on books - Hollywood's taking its inspiration from its dusty shelf of children's games now. What could possibly go wrong?

Two Americas, separate and unequal

I recently read Michelle Alexander's book, "The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness." It takes head-on the "elephant in the room" concerning race in America. I feel it is a must read for anyone interested in equality and social justice.

Quarterback play in AFL has been a pleasant surprise

The Arena Football League is designed to be high-scoring and highlight its quarterbacks, but the technical ability of league's signal callers has been surprising for this AFL newbie.

A week of pizza by the slice: Ian's

In honor of Damien Jaques' article this morning about pizza by the slice - and in honor of my recent trip home to Brooklyn - I'm going to have a slice a day this week and write about it here. Because it's right across the street and the idea just hit me, I'm starting with Ian's on North Avenue.

All these years later, wood-fired pizza still delights

Oakland Trat is now SoLo Pizza, but fortunately, many of their recipes remain. And very fortunately, they dropped off three pizzas to the hungry staff of OnMilwaukee.com today. I was pretty happy that the barbecue chicken one tastes exactly the same.
