Each week on This Bites, sponsored by Whiskey Brown, 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.
Our weekly delicious dive into Milwaukee's culinary scene gets a splash of mash-up on this episode, as Ann shares her review of IVR Bar — that's "International Variety Restaurant," by the way, and the new eatery comes by that title honestly. The ambitious project is a sports bar capable of seating 300 people, which all sounds pretty standard ... until you get to the Indian-Mexican fusion part.
On top of that, Ann got the chance to chat with Milwaukee Wine Academy founders Tim Cole and Dr. Jeffrey Coleman, who have the oh-so-friendly goal of making wine approaching for everyone (particularly women and people of color) through cool events.
And it wouldn't be a This Bites episode without a weekly roundup, which this time around hits the proposed Axolotl Cafe that's aiming to bring American-Mexican brunch fare to Bay View this fall. We stay in that neighborhood for Outlaw Oyster's second location inside Crafty Cow, and head downward just a bit more to talk about South Side Dining Week's return in September.
