OnMilwaukee.com Recommends: May 21, 2009
The warm weather means everyone is wearing fewer clothes -- even the burgers. This week, our list of recommendations begins with the Naked Burger Salad (pictured), which is a tasty new treat from Mason Street Grill. We also point out some cool music, including new stuff from Jason Isbell and Keith Urban, a cool Web site and -- for dessert -- a deliciously addictive cookie.
