On this week's episode, we're sharing gift ideas for the foodie in your life. We also have some news about AsianRican, a new mobile hot beef sandwich truck, and Buttermint Finer Dining Establishment, an upscale vintage spot that's now open in Shorewood.
In a new article for Milwaukee Magazine, Ann outlines a half dozen gifts for local foodies, including a hand-crafted cheese board from Milwaukee ceramic artist Geryn Roche. She also recommends maple syrup from Tapped, a Stevens Point company that makes maple syrup in all kinds of unique flavors, including espresso, hops and even spicy black umami garlic. And here's an interesting one: Dana Spandet of Flour Girl of Flour Girl & Flame pizza sells a special hot honey, which her restaurant uses to drizzle on their pizzas. It's honey with just a little kick.
Speaking of Flour Girl & Flame, they've finally opened their long-promised brick-and-mortar location at 8121 W. National Ave., in West Allis. It's open for carryout only from Wednesday through Sunday, 4-8 p.m. If you've never had one (they've been serving at Zocalo), they're remarkable pizzas, with a distinctive puffy, chewy crust and very charred edges, thanks to the wood-fired pizza ovens they use.
AsianRican lands in Walker's Point
And Flour Girl & Flame isn't the only local restaurant that now has a permanent location. A few weeks ago we were buzzing about AsianRican's pop-ups. Now the restaurant has found a permanent physical home. It will be serving out of the tapas restaurant Snifters at 606 S. 5th St. in Walker's Point, OnMilwaukee reports.
Check out this incredible menu.
