We're slicing off another savory section of Milwaukee's culinary scene on this episode, starting with Ann's recent Milwaukee Magazine story about Burmese cuisine that sees her dip into traditional dishes from places like Ni Burmese, Khan Aseya and Taste Amir's Roti.
From there, we take a quick trip to another part of the magazine for Ann's take on Purslane, the new chef-owned restaurant specializing in Middle Eastern mezza (small plates) like the intriguing walleye falafel and a vibrant fatouch salad.
Leaving the mag behind, it's time (well, almost time) for two major November happenings. Winning the chronological order is Milwaukee's first-ever Vegan Restaurant Week, which is slotted for Nov. 3-9 and will feature specials like vegan donuts at Gather Bake House and a vegan twist on the compact turkey dinner at Comet Cafe. Right in the middle of that veggie celebration is the long-awaited reopening of EsterEv on Nov. 5, which will see them making the big switch from a tasting menu to an a la carte format that'll include favorites like the caviar tater tot.
Putting the cap on this episode is a chat about the new Flava House concept moving into the former Heaven’s Table location, as well as a new cocktail from Boone & Crockett’s for those of you who just can't let go of summer.
