Milwaukee's wine bar guide
Going to a bar no longer means choosing between pilsner or stout, and it's not even a choice of Merlot vs. Cabernet anymore, either, thanks to these innovative and adventurous wine-focused bars and restaurants.

Milwaukee face off: Brewers tailgating vs. Bacchus
No, it's not scientific, but yes, it's fun. In the past, we compared the Pabst Theater vs. Pabst Beer, the Marcus Amphitheater vs. the Big Bang, even the "The Nutcracker" and Buddy Squirrel. For this edition we get ready for baseball season by comparing Milwaukee's long lived tradition of Brewers tailgating to dinner at Bartolotta's signature restaurant Bacchus.

As we move forward into the filming of our second season, I have realized that whether vegan or avid carnivore, dabbler or master chef, foodies all take great delight in one thing: pairings.

Chef profile: Ristorante Bartolotta's Zachary Baker
Foodies around town know the Bartolotta name, of course, and Bartolotta chefs like Adam Siegel and Juan Urbieta are also pretty high profile in Milwaukee. But as anyone knows, it takes a village -- or at least a crack staff -- to make a restaurant like Wauwatosa's Ristorante Bartolotta hum on a daily basis. So, when we met the tall and outgoing Zak Baker recently at the Ristorante, we decided that you ought to know him, too.
