A week of pizza by the slice: Ian's In honor of Damien Jaques' article this morning about pizza by the slice - and in honor of my recent trip home to Brooklyn - I'm going to have a slice a day this week and write about it here.

All these years later, wood-fired pizza still delights Oakland Trat is now SoLo Pizza, but fortunately, many of their recipes remain. And very fortunately, they dropped off three pizzas to the hungry staff of OnMilwaukee.com today. I was pretty happy that the barbecue chicken one tastes exactly the same.

And you sure as heck don't have to be Mexican to enjoy Cinco de Mayo. Firefly Urban Bar & Grill is among the many eateries getting into the spirit this week. |

The hot surface holds the now flat "pre-tortilla" as it cooks, until it falls off and spirals across three levels. Then, when baked to perfection, the cook peels them off, ready to serve hot, fresh, homemade tortillas. |

Five Milwaukee Mexican restaurants I miss We have stupendous Mexican restaurants in this city, and I frequent many of them often. However, there are a handful of south-of-the-border eateries that I wish were still around. Some of these places, I miss the food, but in most cases, I miss the ambiance and the time in my life when I went there. |
