Each week on This Bites, dining critic Ann Christenson from Milwaukee Magazine and Radio Milwaukee’s resident foodie Tarik Moody dig into the city’s culinary and restaurant culture to help you find new spots, old favorites and the best ingestibles around Milwaukee.
Ann and I are used to tying ourselves in knots as we criss-cross the city for the latest Milwaukee food news, but we hit a new level in this one as we dive into the amazing world of ... pretzels!
Milwaukee Pretzel Company pretzels, to be precise, which are well worth the extra effort except for the fact that you don't need to put in quite as much effort to find them these days. You can get them everywhere from local beer gardens to German Fest and grocery stores to their own online store — and rightfully so because they're great (as outlined in Ann’s piece from Milwaukee Magazine).
This episode also finds us reeling in news on Fishbone Seafood and Restaurant, which will open its very first sitdown location right here in Milwaukee after literally years of hard work from Bria Grant of UniteWI and her mentor, Master P. Yes, THAT Master P. On top of that, we've got some chat about:
- The Chip's pop-up at Merriment Social that will feature ... well, chips.
- A new pizza joint called Love at First Slice that’s coming to Sherman Phoenix.
- News of a switch on Milwaukee Street as Carbon Steak becomes The Conroy.
- The heartwarming resurrection of Heirloom MKE's food truck.
We rise from the ashes every week to bring you all the happenings around Milwaukee’s culinary scene, and if you appreciate those efforts, do us a favor and leave a rating or review wherever you find your podcasts. Thanks.
