Worn out and old is hotter than ever
Thinking back on the weekend, I started noting the way "vintage," especially in the restaurant and bar world, has revived itself like never before. Where the '80s and '90s gravitated toward the new (new clubs, new cars, new money); there has been a recent regression to anything and everything exuding the trendy chic ambience created by the Silent and Baby Boom Generations.

Milwaukee's best steak, 2008: 5 O'Clock Steakhouse
Milwaukee diners love steak. And, they love the Five O'Clock Steakhouse, a repeat winner of our annual award. The venerable 5 O'Clock, located at 2416 W. State St., has served huge hunks of perfectly seared, lightly crusted and flavorful meat for more than four decades. Neither the ambience nor the décor -- straight out of the '60s -- has changed much.

Bravo Five O'Clock Steakhouse!
When I saw the teaser on the cover of the July issue of Saveur, which landed in my mailbox yesterday -- "Our 7 Favorite Steak Houses" -- I just had a feeling. And, yup, there on page 53, Milwaukee is represented.
