We've also launched an off-shoot of the series featuring local chefs cooking up simple dishes in their home or restaurant kitchens.
On Friday, July 10 at 1 p.m. we'll be filming our live with Chef Deborah A. Spriggs-Ross (Chef Deborah) of Expressively "Your" Personal Chef Service.
She'll be making up a batch of comforting creamy wild rice and chicken cobbler, a simple cucumber, tomato and onion salad and brewed peach tea with peach marmalade.
Tune in for more on these summer-worthy creations, plus tips and insights from Chef Deborah.
As a passionate champion of the local dining scene, Lori has reimagined the restaurant critic's role into that of a trusted dining concierge, guiding food lovers to delightful culinary discoveries and memorable experiences.
Lori is an avid cook whose accrual of condiments and spices is rivaled only by her cookbook collection. Her passion for the culinary industry was birthed while balancing A&W root beer mugs as a teenage carhop, fed by insatiable curiosity and fueled by the people whose stories entwine with every dish. Lori is the author of two books: the "Wisconsin Field to Fork" cookbook and "Milwaukee Food". Her work has garnered journalism awards from entities including the Milwaukee Press Club. In 2024, Lori was honored with a "Top 20 Women in Hospitality to Watch" award by the Wisconsin Restaurant Association.
When she’s not eating, photographing food, writing or planning for TV and radio spots, you’ll find Lori seeking out adventures with her husband Paul, traveling, cooking, reading, learning, snuggling with her cats and looking for ways to make a difference.
