Welcome to Food/Drink Week at Milwaukee Record, brought to you by Woodman’s Markets. From May 11 through May 18, belly up and enjoy adventurous, odd, and elaborate coverage of all things edible and drinkable in Milwaukee and beyond.

Before this year’s Food/Drink Week series is through, we’ll taking you on an unconventional bar crawl, celebrating fish fry and Italian fare, eating a ton of pizza, and highlighting a variety of other consumables in a number of different, hopefully fun ways.  And since it’s Food/Drink Week, we figured it would also be a good time to look back at some (a.k.a. not all) former Milwaukee restaurants.

If we didn’t list your favorite former restaurant, please know we left it off the list on purpose to spite you. No, no…we just have to stop the list somewhere. Hopefully the approximately 100 restaurants we are mentioning will suffice. If not, feel free to keep the restaurant memories going in our forum.
