Each week on Radio Milwaukee, Milwaukee Magazine dining critic Ann Christenson and 88Nine’s resident foodie Tarik Moody discuss Milwaukee’s culinary and restaurant culture on “ This Bites .”
Talent is something the Milwaukee food scene has never been short on. But talent doesn’t guarantee success. A new restaurant we talk about this week seeks to address that with a win-win concept: a teaching kitchen where local food entrepreneurs get valuable training and guidance, and customers get a great meal prepared by skilled hands.
Listen to learn more about Turning Tables Tavern & Eatery located in Historic Turner Hall, as well as these odds and ends from our city’s culinary community:
- Phat Dumpling pop-up at Uncle Wolfie’s Breakfast Tavern. This dine-in-only event goes down today (Aug. 5) from 5-8 p.m.
- New Vietnamese restaurant on the South Side. The owners of Pho Saigon in West Allis plan to open BaoBao Cuisine on South 27th Street.
- Dino’s Riverwest closes permanently. The location at 808 E. Chambers St. has always had an off-and-on history. A series of bad breaks has forced the doors closed again.
