On the town in Milwaukee: Continued Thanksgiving comfort
While the Thanksgiving holiday is more than anything a time of gratitude and family, it manifests itself in comfort food, lazy afternoons and home cooking. So, to coincide with your hefty, satisfying meal yesterday, why not take family and friends out to one of these bars known for large, local flavors tonight.

Bloody Brunch is much more than breakfast
It began as any Sunday morning might. Two new friends met for brunch only to discover they share an affinity for a well-crafted Bloody Mary. As one Sunday flowed into the next, an idea was born. The Bloody Brunch was born.

Ask OMC: Why do Bloodys come with beer chasers?
In much of the country, the Bloody Mary is a lightly regarded brunch concoction. In Wisconsin, it has a deeper, almost religious significance. Cheeseheads love the combination of vodka, tomato juice and spices and they love having it served with a small glass of beer. In fact, they're offended if they don't get one. Have you ever stopped to wonder when, how and why the tradition started? We did.

Milwaukee's best Bloody Marys, 2009: Wicked Hop

Think of it as a Mexican Bloody Mary. Spicy, salty and strangely refreshing, I'm still waiting for it to make its way to Wisconsin.

Sunday July 26th marked our 1st twitter occasion for us at AJBombers.  We hosted our 1st Milwaukee Tweetup.  Aptly named #bloodybrunch @ajbombers.  I'm pleased to report that about a little over 40 local twitterers we're in attendance (or is it tweeters?) and it felt very much li...

Sara & the City....Take 1!
Today I decided to forego my favorite coffee shop to hang out at (aka….I needed some freaking free wifi…gosh darned it!!!) and instead, sat my butt down on the patio of The Wicked Hop…a restaurant/bar in my ‘hood. I’ve never been here alone & after l...
