Taco truck talk, the James Beard Awards and 'Top Chef'


Listen Later

While the first food truck was likely a chuck wagon or perhaps the Wienermobile, you could argue that it didn’t reach its ideal form until tacos got involved. We’ve got plenty of that variety around Milwaukee, all of which you can follow on social media to keep up with their whereabouts.

Ann and Tarik talk about a few of their favorites at the top of this episode, and you can find more in the taco truck guide in the latest issue of Milwaukee Magazine. Also in this episode, you'll hear a Dan-heavy roundup of other culinary news around Milwaukee:
  • First up, the James Beard Awards were finally handed out earlier this week, and sadly neither Dan Jacobs nor Dan Van Rite went home with hardware.
  • Dan Jacobs did, however, make it to Top Chef’s first finale episode (feels like that shouldn’t be a thing), which left Wisconsin for sunny Curaçao.
  • And if that doesn’t have you Dan’d out, Mr. Jacobs also landed the cover story for the June edition of Milwaukee Magazine.
  • In non-Dan news, the Wolf on Broadway has decided to rebrand and become Uncle Wolfie’s Dinner Diner.

  • Produced and edited by Marcus Doucette
