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.
Since we're coming up on the last day of summer, it seems as good a time as any for ... a Wisconsin-made frozen pizza taste-off!
The staff at Milwaukee Magazine took on that delicious task recently, so we start our episode with Ann sharing the surprising (and kinda disappointing???) results. She also keeps us in magazine land for her recent review of Las Gardenias, a relatively new spot with homemade tortillas, birria and unique desserts.
Elsewhere, we give you the scoop on a couple local food events, including the Dining Out For Life fundraiser happening through this weekend that supports Vivent Health's mission to serve those most affected by HIV. Just beyond this weekend, Potawatomi Casino Hotel has its Gather & Grow dinners, which span two nights (Sept. 22-23) and include five courses of farm-to-table goodies.
Finally, we literally save the best for last with Milwaukee Magazine's "Best of Milwaukee" awards, which this year saw the publication's readers make some very savvy decisions about their food and restaurant choices. And by that we mean they mostly agreed with Ann.
