Now that the Food Wars hoopla is over I just wanted to offer up a couple of thoughts o the whole thing. I think Milwaukee was well-represented in the show.

I love what Michael Ruhlman is saying to the American Public about cooking. He has been telling people that its bullshit that people don’t have time to cook, and I agree with him wholeheartedly. What I disagree with is the notion that somehow Jamie Oliver, Rachel Ray, and other chefs promoting quick meals are contributing to […]

So my post on Five Guys has me thinking about Wisconsin’s great burgers. This is a topic that can be debated to no end.

Ciriello’s had good panini sandwiches, a nice mix of Italian cheese, meats, and antipasti, They also had some excellent dry aged beef. Their pasta selection was the […]
One of the reasons I started this website was to explore the food producers in the state and try and get people to learn the story behind the food. One of the foods I wanted to explore was Wisconsin’s most famous export, cheese. I guess I can scratch that off my list because the book […]
(This info is from a press release that I received today. I already mentioned this item on Monday but here are some more details) Bartolotta’s Lake Park Bistro in Milwaukee announced that Executive Chef Adam Siegel has been named The 2008 Best Chef in the Midwest by the nationally acclaimed James Beard Foundation in New […]
OnMilwaukee.com reports that Paul Bartolotta will do battle with Mario Batali on Iron Chef this Sunday. I think if the secret ingredient is fish or seafood related Bartolotta will have a good chance at an upset. Also appearing with Bartolotta is none other than Adam Siegel from Bacchus and Lake Park Bistro. Siegel has also […]
