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.
On this week’s delicious deep dive, Tarik and Ann start at Agency’s theatrical Filipino pop-up Sinta, which has become a permanent part of the James Beard-nominated bar’s offerings at 817 N. Marshall St. Chefs Zach and Katrina Panoski are serving up a creative collection of small plates and snacks ranging from "celestial" eggplant dip to crab lumpia topped with Pop Rocks.
Then, Ann shares her guide to finding exceptional seafood in the city, plus a scoop on the upcoming Freshwater Food & Wine Festival. She also gives us a peek at her recent interviews with two of Milwaukee’s top chefs: Dan Jacobs, who discussed the high-stakes "randomizer" wheel on Food Network’s Tournament of Champions; and Adam Pawlak, who shared his philosophy on culinary consistency and his new 15-pound wiener dog, Alfredo.
