New global eats in Milwaukee, plus the state's best drive-ins


Listen Later

In this episode, Tarik and Ann are buzzing over a new Italian spot from the James Beard Award-winning owners of Lupi & Iris, as well as an upscale Mediterranean eatery coming to the ground floor of the new Ascent MKE building near Cathedral Square.

Our duo also dishes on beloved Jamaican restaurant Uppa Yard as it expands with a second downtown location on Water Street, promising classic dishes like jerk chicken and oxtail, plus new additions like live music. It isn't all good news, though, as burger lovers took a hit with the recent announcement that Dairyland will leave (or, rather, was asked to leave) the Third Street Market Hall.

We return to sunnier topics as Ann takes us on a nostalgic road trip through Wisconsin's historic drive-ins, sharing favorite spots like Ardy & Ed’s in Oshkosh and Big Star in Kenoha, as well as the unique experience of car hops and frosted root beer mugs. Finally, we wrap things up with details about Purslane, chef-owner Mary Kastman's newly opened restaurant that took over the former Ardent space.
