PRODUCT REVIEW People are really paying attention to what they eat and the Eat Local movement is definitely part of the mainstream. However we don’t think about local when we consider purchasing items to cook our food. If your kitchen is like mine its got appliances, cookware, and tools from all over the world; Kitchen Aid […]

UPDATE: I believe the name of the BBQ joint at 164 and National is now called LD’s BBQ, as opposed to DD’s which it was called this spring. The post has been updated to reflect the new name. You can’t swing a dead cat these days without hitting a food truck but a couple of Milwaukee-area BBQ […]
I wanted to repost this explanation of why the Motion 414 in the Budget Bill is causing so much anger among the state’s craft breweries. Its from O’so Brewing, an excellent Microbrewery from Plover (near Stevens Point). They have been one of the breweries taking the lead on this issue. Here it is: We thought […]

I usually don’t enter recipe contests but when my friend Nick from DudeFoods.com said he was contacted by Sargento to hold an Ultimate Grilled Cheese Contest I decided to give it a shot, though I had no idea what I was going to do.

The last couple of years bacon and burgers have dominated the food headlines but I kind of get a sense that artisanal charcuterie is starting to hit the mainstream. I suppose that since bacon is charcuterie it has already arrived but I am seeing more restaurants adding house-made charcuterie items to their menus than ever before. Home cooks are […]
In a move that shows how predictable the tastes of Wisconsinites are, the Sausage Kabobs finished first in fan voting in the Brewers concession contest. Actually, I don’t have a problem with this item and picked it as my second choice (as awesome as they looked, I just didn’t see Chicken Parmesan Sandwiches or Fish Tacos as attractive […]
The Milwaukee Journal and the Brewers announced the four finalists for the Brewers Concession Contest; fish tacos, chicken Parmesan sandwich, mixed Klement’s sausage kebab, and poutine (french fries and cheese curds topped with brown gravy). I am bummed that my entry, Sausage Race Sliders, didn’t make it, though I can now admit that I never actually tried […]
Last year I did a list of useless shit at the end of 2009 and figured I would do it again for 2010. Sorry it’s over a week late but I have been busy. I know excuses, excuses… TOP BURGERS These 6 burgers were my favorites of 2010. The Old Fashioned, Madison WI The Old […]
Yeah the Journal did their list earlier this week but I had been working on this post for a couple of weeks. Unlike them I didn’t just make shit up for each of the 12 days, I tried to make the numbers mean something. Any hack can find 12 Wisconsin food items and make a […]
