First Impression: Meraki

Todd Lazarski
On first glance, there isn’t a lot to distinguish Meraki, the new venture from Chad Meier, former chef at Blue Jacket. It’s doing the same thing, in the same neighborhood, as most of the rest of the Milwaukee r...

Tracklist: 10 final Bar Rescue takeaways

Tyler Maas
And so it’s come to this. Okay, so it’s not quite Woodward and Bernstein-level journalism. No, we didn’t compile an irrefutable report that a Heisman trophy candidate’s deceased girlfriend never existed, nor di...

First Impression: Riverwest Pizza

Matt Wild
It’s a scientific fact that pizza will never go out of style. Stuffed-crust, fancy, or frozen, pizza is a universal constant that transcends age, gender, and taste. Still, the everyman/woman food is enjoying a ...

Tyler Maas
Milwaukee has no shortage of local beer. With the abundance of breweries in town, the Brew City moniker is well-deserved. So with the sheer volume of suds produced within the city limits, it was an interesting ...

Tyler Maas
// It finally happened. Months after revealing Spike TV “reality” series Bar Rescue was scouting locations in the city, then subsequently breaking the news of what bar would be featured on the show and when...

First Impression: Uncanny Soup Co.

Tyler Maas
As one of easiest foods to prepare, among the least expensive meals to purchase, and one of the few edibles whose prepackaged store-bought version can be remarkably close in quality to many restaurant rendition...

Brewing is in its golden age. No matter when you’re reading this sentence, there are currently more varieties and brands of beer on Earth being produced by more brewers of all skill levels than ever before. Eve...

A Monday in Cudahy: My third-shift bar crawl

Tyler Maas
There’s no getting around it: Cudahy is Milwaukee’s punching bag. If you live anywhere in southeastern Wisconsin, you’ve undoubtedly heard dozens of jokes, putdowns, and generalizations cast in the direction of...
