A look at lakeside (and other) dining in Pewaukee
Pewaukee's dining landscape is ever-growing and while you'll still find your fair share of small bar-and-grills or classic supper clubs, new, contemporary and ethnically diverse restaurants are popping up, especially along the waterfront of Pewaukee Lake. Here is an updated account of what our neighbor to the west is bringing to the dining table.

Milwaukee's best deli, 2008: Sendik's
There are two kinds of delis: the ones where you order a corned beef sandwich, and the ones where you pick up food from the counter to dazzle your guests at a backyard barbecue (while secretly taking the all the credit).

Say "oui" to Laissez Faire
I'm starting to think the patrons must see us and coming and clear out, since like the last few places we tried, Laissez Faire was also empty. But that meant more time for the two-person staff to work on our meals, I suppose, and both my wife and I were pleased with our lunch.

New owner of Jake's Deli doesn't change a thing ... and that's why it's great
Step inside Jake's Deli and you might as well be entering a time machine. The clientele is different than it was 50 years go. But the booths are the same, and more importantly, so is the corned beef. And that's exactly how the owners like it.
