Ann also shares her rave review of the new French bistro Cassis in the Third Ward. From the satisfying escargot to the succulent trout and that "best-ever" beef-fattened kale, find out why this spot was definitely worth the wait.

The biggest news of the week? The Michelin Guide is officially coming to the Great Lakes region, and Milwaukee is on the list! Tarik and Ann break down the "101" on stars versus Bib Gourmands, the costs involved, and what this prestigious recognition might mean for local diners and chefs.
