In my last blog I spoke about how food safety should be a right regardless of who is in the Oval Office. I'd like to make sure my tax dollars are spent on ensuring we have safe food to eat.

This week some exciting new developments have come about and now the first steps are being taken to create the first lab-grown hamburger made from stem cell tissue.

Well, I think a recipe contest is in order! I know you haven't had the chance yet to taste lab-grown hamburger, but I think if you apply all your culinary instincts and traditions we can have an exciting new dish with lab-grown hamburger. This city could even be at the forefront of this new trend.

So, here is the contest: please submit your recipe for lab-grown hamburger to OnMilwaukee.com. I'll be the judge and here is the criteria: your recipe must be based on using actual lab-grown hamburger, your favorite seasonings and whatever toppings come to mind.

Once I've received all submissions a winner will be announced and as well the prize.
