Cooking with Milwaukee Community Leaders

Listen Later

Host Charlie sits down with Mark Shapiro, president and CEO of the Harry and Rose Sampson Family JCC, to talk about his upbringing, career path, and the JCC’s work to build a healthier, more inclusive Milwaukee.

Mark then shares his beloved two-egg fried egg sandwich recipe—made on a butter croissant with shredded cheddar (and dairy-free options)—seasoned with Lowry’s and finished with hot sauces like chili crunch and Truff. The episode blends personal stories, community leadership, and a simple, comforting recipe.
