Last May, we reported that Steve Perlstein of Simmer Truck and his partner, Jennifer Block, would be opening a brick and mortar location on Water Street.
Well, the day has come.
The new Simmer Cafe will be open today at 718 N. Water St. from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. for its very first day of breakfast and lunch service.
The kitchen, which has been serving as commercial production space for the Simmer Truck, will now feature soups, panini and salads, along with breakfast offerings on weekdays.
Stay tuned for a feature on the cafe early next week.
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.
