Just ask Executive Chef Dan Jacobs of Wolf Peach. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/ersel.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/ersel.html?33674 Wed, 22 May 2013 11:06:00 CDT Catch up with news about a new spring menu at Wild Earth Cucina, Chef Edward Lee at Bacchus, a new chef at Distil and free Tuesday night programming at Alice's Garden. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/nibblemay202013.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/nibblemay202013.html?33828 Mon, 20 May 2013 11:02:00 CDT While Whitefish Bay is blossoming with an array of new businesses and restaurants, the eastern portion of Wauwatosa is becoming a similar hotbed of development and change. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/easttosa.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/easttosa.html?33803 Fri, 17 May 2013 11:06:00 CDT How much do you know about the strange, yet delicately flavored, morel mushroom? If you're anything like me, you love the delicious fungi, and yet you may know very little about the mushrooms themselves.

But, that certainly isn't a sign that they don't deserve credit for the hard work they do. Shaun Abbott, Sous Chef at Mason Street Grill, has more than 17 years' experience in the restaurant and hospitality industry. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/shaunabbott.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/shaunabbott.html?33529 Fri, 3 May 2013 11:03:00 CDT Love Handle to offer "fine fast food" to Milwaukee's East Side. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/lovehandle.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/lovehandle.html?33651 Fri, 3 May 2013 09:07:00 CDT A new butcher shop and cafe, specializing in sustainably raised and butchered meats, is now open in the former Kafevino location. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/bavette.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/bavette.html?33639 Thu, 2 May 2013 11:50:00 CDT The Bay restaurant, 342 E.

So here's a taste of what's new and notable - with news about Bourbon and Tunns grand reopening, Maxie's Derby Day festivities, a new menu at the Eatery, and a brunch revamp at the Packing House. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/nibbleapril292013.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/nibbleapril292013.html?33550 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 11:03:00 CDT Despite the acclaim heaped upon their mentors, we very seldom hear from the unsung heroes of the restaurant kitchen. Sous chefs aren't lauded with awards. Or mentioned in most restaurant reviews. They seldom get credit for dishes they've created that make it onto a restaurant menu. And - in most cases - there are few restaurant patrons who even know their names. In fact, I'd venture a guess that most people, unless they've worked in the service industry, don't have a very clear understanding of what a sous chef (French for "under chef") really does. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/souschefs2013.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/souschefs2013.html?33515 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 09:09:00 CDT The Noble's lease is up.

The food, on the other hand, could still use a few tweaks. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/riverwestfillingstationfood.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/riverwestfillingstationfood.html?33438 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 09:05:00 CDT As the Bartolottas celebrate their second decade in the Cream City, we thought it appropriate to sit down with Joe Bartolotta to curate his memories of the last 20 years, and capture his vision for the future. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/20yearsofbartolottas.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/20yearsofbartolottas.html?33394 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 09:03:00 CDT Even if you're paying close attention, it's sometimes difficult to keep up with the latest in food news here in Milwaukee.
