Milwaukee Food: A History of Cream City Cuisine Kindle Edition

4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars 5 ratings

A local food writer exploreshow a humble Midwest town developed a food scene unlike any other American city and became a culinary destination of its own.
 
Milwaukee’s culinary scene boasts more than the iconic beer and bratwurst. It possesses a unique food culture as adventurous as any dining destination in the country. Sample the spreads at landmark hotels like the Pfister that established the city’s hospitable reputation, as well as eateries like Mader’s that cemented it. Meet the producers, chefs and entrepreneurs who helped expand Milwaukee’s palate and pushed the scene to the forefront of the farm-to-fork movement. Milwaukee native and food writer Lori Fredrich serves up the story of a bustling blue-collar town that became a mecca for food lovers and a rising star in the sphere of urban farming.

Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2015
Lori Frederick's book about the history of food in Milwaukee, is such an easy easy entertaining way to spend an afternoon. The words just flow from her pen onto the paper & into you mind for such a satisfying read. I couldn't put it down!
Wether you have lived in Milwaukee for a period of time or just enjoy Milwaukee history & the food that so many local chefs are now serving up, then this is the book for you. The author brings the human side to light on a lot of prominent Milwaukee chefs which serves to remind us that they are just great people, following their passions.
The book is all just a little bit more delicious thanks to the mouth watering photos of photographer Joe Laedtke.
Keep this book handy for when you just can't think of where to eat as this will give you so many options.
