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, June 19 at 1 p.m. we filmed our live with Chef Jason Alston of Heaven's Table BBQ in the Crossroads Collective.  During the show, he offered tips and tricks for how to make a delicious Mac and smoked brisket Philly sandwich with provolone cheese sauce and sauteed peppers.

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 each and every dish. She’s had the privilege of chronicling these tales via numerous media, including OnMilwaukee and in her book “Milwaukee Food.” Her work has garnered journalism awards from entities including the Milwaukee Press Club. 

When she’s not eating, photographing food, writing or recording the FoodCrush podcast, 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.
