Alaskan dining, a new Bartolotta spot and adieu to Pat’s Rib Place

17 minutes

Food can take you to a lot of different places — sometimes figuratively and sometimes literally. Ann and Tarik focus on the first one as their own figurative trip around Milwaukee’s food scene gets started in this episode.

The destination for the upcoming event in question is Alaska, and the good news is you only need to go as far as South 2nd Street for a taste of The Last Frontier. Braise is the local restaurant putting together this far-flung menu of four courses that prominently feature the seafood available way, way up north. As for where else the conversational journey goes:

Over in Lake Country, the Bartolotta Restaurants opened its latest location, called The Commodore.

At the Milwaukee Public Market, you only have a couple days to enjoy Pat’s Rib Place before it closes to pursue retail opportunities.

On the north end of Water Street, Birch will host fresh oyster pop-ups in a nod to owner Kyle Knall’s childhood on the Gulf Coast.

Finally, up in Kohler, tickets went on sale for the annual Food & Wine Festival, which this year will welcome Andrew Zimmern and Maneet Chauhan.
