OnMilwaukee.com has a nice feature on Brewers Pitcher Chris Capuano and his top 5 eating places in Milwaukee.   Like Chris, I loved Sol Fire and was saddened when it closed earlier this year, which reminds me that I promised to post their recipe for Fish Tacos on this site but have yet to do it.  He […]
