I had a chance to finally check out Bartolotta’s Northpoint Custard stand at Bradford Beach. Bartolotta’s have done an admirable job making the run-down snack booth into a true food destination. There is plenty of outdoor seating and even on the hot summer night I visited, I was able to park in the Bradford Beach parking lot […]

At the end of 2009 I was sick of burgers. Apparently the new year cured that. Here are some thoughts about some of the places I have been over the past couple of months. AJ Bombers – I raved about them here and said they dethroned Sobleman’s (even though I love the Sobleman burger) as the best burgers in […]
Last year I blogged about an awesome meal at Graham Elliot and a perfect cheeseburger at the loser-laden Rockit from a recent trip to Chicago. I also had written up some blurbs about other places I checked out. Here they are: Heaven on Seven Located on the 7th floor of an older office building at 111 North […]

Even if people don’t know the name, just say “the place with the goats on the roof” and they will know what you are talking about. We drove by Al Johnson’s on Sunday morning and saw a […]
Today I am going to do a quick review of the St. Paul Fish Company’s new oyster bar at the Milwaukee Public Market. Watch for some more postings in the days and weeks to come. I will review two chain Italian restaurants as well as Cafe Zarletti in South Milwaukee, and Il Mito Enoteca […]
A visit to Minocqua wouldn’t be complete without a stop at Ann Marie’s Fine Coffee and Tea in downtown Minocqua. Its hard to miss this unique store because it is setback from the street and the front yard has a very impressive garden, as you can see by the photo above. As you approach the […]
Last week I was in Downtown Racine and stopped by Wilbur’s BBQ at 515 5th Street in the downtown area. From the outside it almost appeared closed but the inside was warm and inviting. There are two options at Wilbur’s either eat off the buffet which features staples like mac and cheese, greens, black eyed […]
