Wells St., is open for lunch from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. beginning Tuesday, May 20. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/yaffalunch.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/yaffalunch.html?15261 Thu, 15 May 2008 12:00:00 CST Under the radar for a lot of fine dining fans is the arrival of the new Wild Earth restaurant, which Potawatomi touts as "a place where a great dining experience doesn't have to be formal." http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/wildearth.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/wildearth.html?15256 Thu, 15 May 2008 05:17:00 CST Although Alterra Coffee Roasters is primarily a specialty coffee company, its food and bakery items add an important dimension to the business. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/alterrafood.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/alterrafood.html?15214 Mon, 12 May 2008 05:30:00 CST In Milwaukee, you'd be hard-pressed to find a restaurant at a golf resort so good that you'd actually travel all the way across town just for dinner. But if you ever find yourself in Phoenix, make the trip to Deseo, a "Nuevo Latino" restaurant inside the Westin Kierland. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/deseo.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/deseo.html?15202 Sat, 10 May 2008 05:07:00 CST When I was a little kid, I regularly ate lunch at a place called JA's Café in a strip mall on the corner of Green Bay and Green Tree Roads. I was pleased to find the Glen Café had picked up where JA's had left off. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/glencafe.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/glencafe.html?15173 Wed, 7 May 2008 12:46:00 CST "Wisconsin Foodie," a new local food, cooking and travel show, debuts Saturday on Channel 12. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/foodiedebut.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/foodiedebut.html?15157 Wed, 7 May 2008 08:53:00 CST Nobody in his or her right mind could possibly envision a heart-healthy meal at a Brazilian steakhouse, right? But beneath all the hype surrounding the prime cuts of beef, there lies a piece of vegetarian heaven: the salad bar. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/saborsalad.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/saborsalad.html?15165 Tue, 6 May 2008 15:46:00 CST Of course, I've been to the Palomino for dinner, drinks and Packers games about a zillion times. But until yesterday, I never tried their Sunday brunch. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/palominobreakfast.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/palominobreakfast.html?15143 Mon, 5 May 2008 12:19:00 CST Last month, after nearly eight years of operation, Mike and Kim Schmidt sold the Bella's Fat Cat location on Brady Street, to focus on their two other locations. We talked to Mike Schmidt about his business and its future. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/5questionsbellas.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/5questionsbellas.html?15132 Mon, 5 May 2008 05:35:00 CST Move over wine, this is Brew City, and if we're pairing anything with our cheese it's going to be beer. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/mooandbrew.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/mooandbrew.html?15108 Thu, 1 May 2008 10:31:00 CST Girolama "Mimma" Megna is no secret in Milwaukee. The East Side restaurant that bears her name, 1307 E. Brady St., is nearly legendary, as is its owner. Mimma's celebrates 20 years in business and so we decided it was high time we talked to Megna about herself and her restaurant. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/mtalksmimma.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/mtalksmimma.html?15046 Mon, 28 Apr 2008 05:37:00 CST The Mr. B's event is potentially the first Milwaukee-area gluttonous feast of its kind: "All you can eat, silverware optional." http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/beefsteakmrb.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/beefsteakmrb.html?15020 Wed, 23 Apr 2008 11:21:00 CST With good, cheap food, low drink minimum and lots of parking, McCormick and Schmick's happy hour might just qualify. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/mcshmick.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/mcshmick.html?15004 Tue, 22 Apr 2008 10:21:00 CST A 19th century blacksmith shop was converted into a new dining destination, The Anvil Pub and Grill, N70 w6340 Bridge Rd., bringing yet another historic building to life in the Cedar Creek Settlement. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/anvil.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/anvil.html?14973 Mon, 21 Apr 2008 05:32:00 CST This week's wine pick is a 2002 Markham merlot from Napa Valley, which we sampled at a tasting at Shully's Cuisine and Events, 146 Green Bay Rd., Thiensville. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/winemarkham.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/winemarkham.html?14912 Sat, 19 Apr 2008 10:02:00 CST As a food writer, people constantly ask me how I manage to stay pretty small despite the copious amounts of food I eat out in any given week. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/10yrsthinner.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/10yrsthinner.html?14961 Sat, 19 Apr 2008 08:19:00 CST Overall, Fratello's sets a casual, yet interesting, scene -- the kind of place to fraternize with friends over dinner or grab lunch with co-workers. The spirit is lively and mature and the views make it a nice Downtown stop during a pleasant Milwaukee summer. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/fratellosopen.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/fratellosopen.html?14936 Sat, 19 Apr 2008 05:14:00 CST With a zillion dining options blocks from my office, I don't do it as much as I used to, but today's sunshine inspired me to revive an old East Side lunch tradition of mine: take-out from Koppa's and a solitary lunch at Back Bay Park. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/koppaspark.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/koppaspark.html?14938 Wed, 16 Apr 2008 12:51:00 CST Joe and Angie Sorge were about a month in to their original Swig location at 1225 N. Water St. when they realized that the party time prowess of Milwaukee's biggest bar district was not the right setting for their martini lounge meets small plate dining concept. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/thirdwardswig.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/thirdwardswig.html?14906 Tue, 15 Apr 2008 05:26:00 CST Without thinking about it, I had two of my all-time favorite treats today. With dinner (which comprised a healthy salad, thank you very much), I mixed up a packet of Del's Frozen Lemonade, a gift from a friend in Rhode Island. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/bluemoondels.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/bluemoondels.html?14919 Mon, 14 Apr 2008 20:22:00 CST It's time for a second Original Pancake House location in Milwaukee. And that location should be Downtown. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/downtownpancakes.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/downtownpancakes.html?14887 Mon, 14 Apr 2008 07:49:00 CST With a new sign emblazed on the Downtown skyline, Kincaid's, 1110 N. Old World 3rd St., opened its doors in a space that for many years harbored Third Street Pier. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/kincaidsreview.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/kincaidsreview.html?14882 Mon, 14 Apr 2008 05:37:00 CST As of May 5, Comet Café will be entirely smoke-free during eating hours. After 10 p.m., smoking will be allowed in the bar. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/smokefreecomet.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/smokefreecomet.html?14899 Sun, 13 Apr 2008 16:52:00 CST Make your own salad dressing. Why is this a green practice? Here are five reasons... http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/homemadedressing.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/homemadedressing.html?14880 Fri, 11 Apr 2008 10:01:00 CST If you're a frequent South 1st Street commuter, you've probably noticed the new Transfer Pizzeria Café, 101 W. Mitchell St. With its name broadcast in stylized neon, the corner building is a definite eye-catcher at night -- a glowing sign of life in a rather dim section of the city. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/transfercafe.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/transfercafe.html?14875 Fri, 11 Apr 2008 05:28:00 CST Last week's pairing of chef Jason Gorman's food and wines from the Ridge winery in California resulted in a meal to remember. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/dreamdanceridge.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/dreamdanceridge.html?14868 Thu, 10 Apr 2008 09:28:00 CST If you want to know more about Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, there's no better event in Milwaukee for you than Whole Foods' "Crack Heard Around the World," at 2 p.m. on Saturday, April 12. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/reggiano.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/reggiano.html?14794 Thu, 10 Apr 2008 05:27:00 CST Osteria del Mondo, 1028 E. Juneau Ave., and Ristorante Bartolotta, 7616 W. State St., in Wauwatosa are the only Milwaukee restaurants to earn a place among 1,000 Italian restaurants in America listed in a new Zagat guide. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/osteriazagat.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/osteriazagat.html?14864 Wed, 9 Apr 2008 15:33:00 CST Situated in O'Donnell Park, Coast, 931 E. Wisconsin Ave., has a dining room that is quite literally a room with a view. It's actually one of the best views -- the lake and the surrounding green spaces that make O'Donnell Park so very stunning -- at any Milwaukee restaurant. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/coastreview.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/coastreview.html?14808 Mon, 7 Apr 2008 05:41:00 CST Michael Vergiels and Jody Kelly took over Albanese’s on Keefe, an Italian mom-and-pop restaurant and tavern that’s been around since 1941. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/albanesesonkeefe.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/albanesesonkeefe.html?14786 Sun, 6 Apr 2008 05:22:00 CST If you're like me, you have limited yard space allotted for planting, and, unfortunately, cannot grow every kind of vegetable you'd like to. It's time to make some decisions about which veggies, fruits, tubers and herbs will make the cut this year. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/sweetpotatoes.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/sweetpotatoes.html?14788 Thu, 3 Apr 2008 13:37:00 CST Returning patrons will notice little change in the decor at Firefly, but new touches like red gingham napkins and a two-sided menu heavy with appetizers immediately bring you into the restaurant's updated theme. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/fireflyreview.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/fireflyreview.html?14729 Mon, 31 Mar 2008 05:32:00 CST It's rare that I go out for Mexican food at 2 a.m., but that’s exactly what happened last night. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/avocadoblog.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/avocadoblog.html?14742 Sun, 30 Mar 2008 16:27:00 CST I spent Friday's lunch time tossing fish on the Riverwalk.

Here is a list of smoke-free dining options in Milwaukee. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/smokefreedining.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/smokefreedining.html?14620 Wed, 26 Mar 2008 05:08:00 CST Two new restaurants -- Rustico's and Fratellos -- are due to open in April on Water Street. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/3rdwardeats.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/3rdwardeats.html?14681 Tue, 25 Mar 2008 15:31:00 CST Cornby's is opening soon. Looks like sandwiches and more at former Arby's spot. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/cornbyscoming.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/cornbyscoming.html?14677 Tue, 25 Mar 2008 13:45:00 CST While the country's best cagers are aiming basketballs toward the net, two 10-member teams representing the East Town and Westown Associations go toe-to-toe in a "Fish, Cheese and Brat Throwdown" Friday along the Riverwalk outside the new Kincaid's Restaurant on Old World 3rd Street at Highland Avenue. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/kincaidfishtoss.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/kincaidfishtoss.html?14670 Tue, 25 Mar 2008 09:43:00 CST Adam Siegel, executive chef at Bacchus and Lake Park Bistro, received his second nomination for the James Beard Award today. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/siegelbeardaward.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/siegelbeardaward.html?14667 Mon, 24 Mar 2008 17:39:00 CST When Brocach Pub and Eatery came along, it quite literally had an open canvas in which to create an aesthetically authentic Irish pub. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/brocachcarlson.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/brocachcarlson.html?14635 Mon, 24 Mar 2008 05:36:00 CST To coincide with our report on Palermo's pizza today, here is some talk on how to best bake a frozen pizza and remove some of its grease. http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/pizzatalk.html http://onmilwaukee.com/dining/articles/pizzatalk.html?14495 Sun, 23 Mar 2008 06:08:00 CST Who is with me?
