Today's episode is a first! We have not one but two guests, Chef Adam Siegel and developer Michael DeMichele. Why those two? Well, they’ve partnered up to create Milwaukee’s newest restaurant, Lupi and Iris. We discuss that project, which sounds incredible and will focus on French and Italian Mediterranean cuisine, as well as origin stories, the Milwaukee dining scene and its evolving real estate market. So while you’re preparing bouillabaisse and drinking Sherry, crank the podcast and enjoy.

Hard-working Italian immigrant parents started a little Sicilian bakery on Milwaukee's East Side. Giacomo literally grew up in the kitchen, eventually taking the reins and growing Palermo's into a global frozen pizza powerhouse. So preheat your oven, pop a little Chianti and listen in.

We cover a LOT of ground in this conversation, including: what it's like to work at a small vs. large firm, the "golden age of litigation", why cases don't go to trial as often nowadays, criminal vs. civil bar, how to learn from your losses, and even 1870's Wisconsin whiskey law. 

So settle in with Steve Biskupic.
